Germany's timber industry and sawmills are experiencing a cautious improvement in sentiment in mid-2025, driven by robust export demand even as domestic challenges persist.<\/span><\/p>\n

A survey of German Timber Trade Association (GD Holz) members reveals varying business assessments, though overall sentiment is shifting towards cautious optimism.<\/p>\n

Softwood sawmills reported an \"adequate\" current business situation, with all participants expecting stability in the next three months. Hardwood sawmills, while still largely negative, showed slight improvement; approximately 20% foresee a deterioration, 20% expect improvement, and the majority anticipate stability.<\/p>\n

Strong exports, particularly softwood lumber to the United States, remain a key growth driver, bolstering optimism among German forest owners and sawmills.<\/p>\n

However, the domestic construction sector continues to weigh on demand. German construction output is projected to fall in 2025 for the fifth consecutive year. Despite this, some segments, like building construction and civil engineering, saw increased orders in April and March, respectively.<\/p>\n

Sawmills continue to face pressure from rising log prices for spruce and pine, while demand for packaging and pallet wood shows resilience with price increases in June.<\/p>\n

Overall, the industry is navigating a complex landscape, balancing strong external demand against domestic headwinds and raw material costs, with a prevailing expectation of stability in the near term.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
