Earlier Report Observations

The German market for wood wool and wood flour displayed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2024, peaking at 235.2 million USD in 2022 before contracting to 213.8 million USD by the end of the period. The market saw declines in 2019 and 2021, interrupted by growth in 2020.

The market size decrease to 213.8 million USD in 2024 was influenced by a 13.3% reduction in national timber harvesting, which limited the supply of raw material for production. Global trade tensions and supply chain disruptions also contributed to volatile raw material prices, affecting industry cost structures and market volume.
