Abstract

As part of the present investigation, a comprehensive survey of all potential manufacturers of wood-based panels2 in Germany was conducted. The aim was to gather detailed information on production capacities, production volumes, and raw material usage. The response rate of the survey was 65.7 %, with a capture rate of 90.9 %. Standardized imputation procedures were used to complement missing data, utilizing both external sources and the available survey data. The results of the study indicate that in 2021, wood-based panels were manufactured at 22 locations in Germany, comprising a total of 28 production lines. The total production capacity of the wood-based panel industry in Germany amounted to over 12.6 million cubic meters. The average capacity utilization rate was 94 %. The production of particleboard showed a slight decrease since 2010, while the production of fiberboards (LDF/MDF/HDF) and OSB remained relatively stable. The consumption of fiberwood remained stable in 2021 compared to the previous year. The dominant raw materials were sawmill residues and industrial wood. The import share in fiberwood consumption was only 1.8 %. The present study provides a current insight into the situation of the German wood-based panel industry regarding capacities, production and raw material consumption and contributes to the scientific understanding and analysis of developments in this sector.
