Description
Solid wood flooring market Germany: sales of solid parquet and planks and forecast to 2031
How is the solid wood flooring market in Germany developing? The dataset reports sales of solid parquet and solid wood planks in thousand m² of laid area. Quarterly values from Q1/2021 to Q4/2031 are available as historical market data and forecast.
The series includes floors made entirely of solid timber: strip and mosaic parquet and wide country-style planks. With no plywood or fibreboard core, the wood runs through the full thickness and can be sanded and refinished several times. Not included: engineered parquet, laminate or vinyl with a wood look.
Solid parquet is the smallest and priciest floor covering, a pure premium niche competing almost only in upscale housing. Demand comes mainly from two sources: wide oak planks in high-end new homes and the restoration of historic plank floors in older buildings; non-residential use is limited to occasional premium projects. The niche follows the boom, slump and recovery of all wood floors only in muted form and is considered small and stable, without a marked structural trend.
Which questions about the solid wood flooring market does the dataset answer?
- How are solid parquet sales split between new housing and renovation?
- How hard does weak residential construction hit the high-priced niche?
- How stable does demand for solid wood floors remain to 2031, and when is the low point?
- What share of sales comes from non-residential buildings?
Who is the dataset for?
Specialist plank and parquet makers and oak sawmills plan log purchasing and capacity. Timber merchants and parquet showrooms plan purchasing, fitters and restorers of older buildings estimate order volumes, suppliers of finishing oils and sanding equipment their potential; investors and analysts gain a yardstick for a stable premium niche.
Data basis and methodology
The dataset contains the total market, broken out into new build or renovation and residential or non-residential buildings. The series is derived from completions, permits and refurbishment activity, using the share of solid wood floors in newly covered floor space and in annually renewed floor coverings. The model was cross-checked against available market and industry data as well as internal data.
Delivered as CSV and Excel files, each in German and English, with 44 quarterly values. Related datasets: Engineered wood flooring, Natural stone floor/wall covering, Ceramic floor tiles (stoneware) and all data on interior fit-out and flooring.
