  1. UN/ECE Timber Committee Geneva, 3 October 2001 Developments in the European wood-based panels industries Presentation by Dominique Coutrot, UIPP European Panel Federation

  2. The European Panel Federationrepresents 200 particleboard, 60 MDFand 7 OSB manufacturers • Annual production • PB: 32.2 mio m³ (+5%) • MDF: 9.0 mio m³ (+27%) • OSB: 1.2 mio m³ (+20%) Members in 23 countries

  3. European Woodworking Industry 2000 : 155 billion EURO

  4. Wood-based panelsin Europe, 2000 Total production: 51.1 mio m³ + 8%

  5. Particleboard production in Europe1991-2000, x million m³

  6. Production 32.218 million m³ +4.6% Exports 8.688 million m³ +4.4% Imports 7.018 million m³ -1.5% Consumption 30.419 million m³ +2.8% Key figures particleboard

  7. MDF production in Europe,1991-2000, x million m³

  8. OSB production in Europe1995-2000, x million m³

  9. Expansion of production capacity x mio m³ +4% +15% +57%

  10. Demand side (I): furniture industry: stagnating population and increased competition • construction industry : Western Europe: moderate growth rates of 1.4% (2001) to 1.7% (2002/03) C-Eastern Europe: acceleration from 5.3% in 2001 to 7.4% in 2003

  11. Demand side (II): • laminate flooring: strong rises in production over the last 5 years

  12. Prospects for the future • 2000 was record year • First signs of weakness in 4th Quarter 2000 • Stagnation during the first half of 2001 • Slow growth MDF production • Decrease of PB and OSB production • Industry adapted to the market • Extremely rapid turn of general economic environment • Domino-effect: reduced stocks with customers

  13. Prospects for the future • Depending on • market developments, especially construction • effect of the € on industial and consumer demand • New applications – role of the industry/federations • Problems in the short term, but confident for the future: versatile, eco-efficient, engineered products, modern equipment

  14. Prospects for the future (2) • Similar situation end of 1998, beginning of 1999 • Despite this, 1998 and 1999 showed growth • Create reversed domino-effect: increased stocks with customers
