Based on official statistics on turnover, the number of enterprises and employment we investigate the economy of forestry and wood industry. The main objective of our research is the quantification of the added value in forest and wood industry including their structural development.
We are currently revising the data for the years 2000 to 2020. It is planned to republish this data set by the end of March.
We are also making various methodological adjustments for the compilation of the cluster statistics from 2021 onwards. One reason for this is the change in the provision of official data. Furthermore, the use of wood is also changing. We would like to better reflect these developments with an adapted methodology in the future. Publication of the data from 2021 onwards is planned for mid-2025.
