MARKET THE SURVEY
Parquet production in Europe
Production and consumption development compared to 2011
been able to maintain its third position with 9.32%. The largest Parquet consumer per capita is Austria (0.88 m2), followed by Switzerland (0.73 m2) and Sweden (0.66 m2). In total FEP region, the consumption per capita has lost a point and stood at 0.22 m2. As for the production subdivided by countries, in absolute terms, Poland con- solidates its position as the top produc- er with 18.97%, Germany still ranks in the second place (15.24%) and Sweden on the third (13.3 %). Italy is at a standstill in 4.3% of the total.
Speaking of wood species, oak gained further ground (with a percentage of 70%), tropical woods are still falling (- 6.2%). Ash and beech woods are the two most used wood species after the oak, re- spectively with 6.5% and 6.1%.
Moving on to the formats, the picture is similar to that of the last two years: the stratified has 78% of the quotas, the sol- id parquet has 20% (the mosaic has re- mained at 2%).
And the future?
"In an economic situation where even the leading financial institutions and the Eu- ropean Commission adjust their predic- tions practically every week, it is almost impossible to predict developments in the industry in the coming years - said the president of FEP -. Anyway I do not ex- pect a recovery before three years."
