Despite a deep downturn in the France\u2019s wider construction market the turnover of the timber building sector increased in 2024, albeit marginally. <\/span>That is according to the latest biennial report on the industry from Codifab, the French Professional Committee for the Development of the French Furniture and Timber Industries. Moreover, the country\u2019s timber builders are expecting market improvement through 2025 and beyond.<\/p>\n

France is reported to need to build 400,000 new homes to meet the country\u2019s housing requirements. But last year according to online construction news platform Batinfo.com, just 59,014 were built and put on sale, 29% less than in 2023 and half as many as in 2022. Between June 2023 and June 2024, 30,500 building jobs were lost.<\/p>\n

Government measures to boost the building industry and general economic improvement are expected to result in a gradual turnaround through 2025. But according to Pascal Boulanger, President of the French Federation of Real Estate Developers:
\"It will take between two and three years to get the machine going again\u201d.<\/p>\n

Timber-based house building volume was not immune to France\u2019s slow-moving economy. In fact, timber framed units completed were down in volume 17% at 18,250, but that was some way below the steep slump in house construction generally.<\/p>\n

New building construction accounted for 71% of timber building sector revenues, split 56%\/44% between residential and non-residential projects. The most difficult market was for individual private family housing, where 7,000 properties were completed in 2024, down 27.5% on two years ago.<\/p>\n

A total of 1,350 individual stand-alone timber-based homes in multi-family housing developments were completed, down 25% on 2022, and 9,900 multi-family housing units, an 8% fall.<\/p>\n

The contraction in housing volumes was partly offset by growth for timber builders in businesses in repair, refurbishment and maintenance work, which was up in value 9% on 2022.<\/p>\n

And against this challenging back drop, however, says the report commissioned by Codifab from market analysts Xerfi Specific, the French timber construction industry saw turnover rise 0.5% to over \u20ac4.6 billion. This, it maintains, resulted from increased sales of higher end timber-based properties.<\/p>\n

Of the 987 timber building companies which took part in the survey for the report 19% said that they had completed projects with a timber structure package worth over \u20ac500,000. That compared with 17% in 2022.<\/p>\n

The French construction market remains challenging into 2025, but according to the report, confidence among timber builders that conditions will improve is growing with 36% of businesses in the sector planning to increase investment in the next two years.<\/p>\n

Also boding well for the industry, the Codifab report says, is its increasing technical proficiency and the capacity of an increasing number of companies to undertake the whole construction process, from design, through to delivery and erection on site.<\/p>\n

This \u2018industrialised organisation\u2019, it adds, puts the sector in a strong position to undertake the transition, which is taking place across Europe, to off-site construction where key components and assemblies of timber buildings are prefabricated in controlled factory conditions boosting quality and speeding up erection.<\/p>\n

Industry positivity about the future is further reflected in recruitment plans of companies, with 48% of respondents to the report survey planning to hire in the next 12 months.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
