TIMBER INDUSTRY

TIMBER AND FORESTRY INDUSTRY

At the interface between the forestry and timber industries, the sawmill industry is essential for the further processing and optimal utilization of coniferous and deciduous wood. Mobile and stationary sawmills produce sawn timber (beams, boards, slats, etc.) from logs and supply important industries with one of the most important sustainable materials.

The Increasing Importance of Wood

From veneer production to the furniture and packaging industries to the construction industry: As a renewable resource, wood is becoming increasingly important. In Germany, timber-frame houses are becoming increasingly popular. Laut Mordor Intelligence wird die Größe des Schnittholzmarktes im Jahr 2024 auf 757,33 Mio. USD geschätzt und soll bis zum Jahr 2029 785,77 Mio. USD erreichen, mit einer CAGR von 0,74% während des Prognosezeitraums (2024-2029). At the same time, sawing, wood, and forestry are faced with economic and ecological challenges. High cost pressure, a scarcity of resources, regulations, climate change, and changes in forest inventories are just a few of them.
