After three years of moderate growth or stabilisation, and despite a generally good start of the year, the overall consumption figures of parquet in Europe downturned for 2018. The consolidated data provided by the FEP - European Federation of the Parquet industry - member companies and affiliated national associations are now pointing to a slight contraction of the global European market by 2,3% in 2018 compared to 2017. It must be noted that, due to the presence of some discrepancies between the official German data, which are collected by the German Federal Statistical Office, and the internal data recently collected by the German federation of parquet (VdP), the production and consumption figures presented below will be revised upward in the coming weeks.
