Short summary
The present volume "The Austrian Wood Markets" contains a compact description and analysis of publicly available data on Austrian and international wood markets. The study tries to overcome the fact that because of very fragmented data even "insiders" sometimes have a hard time to get a broad overview on magnitudes, structures as well as the internaitonal position of these economic branches. The following forest products are focused upon:

  • Roundwood (incl. sawmill residues)
  • Sawnwood (incl. sleepers)
  • Wood-based panels (fibre-, particleboard, plywood, veneer sheets, laminated sawnwood panels)
  • Pulp and waste (recycled) paper
  • Paper and paperboard

Because of wood market dynamics, publications about markets are generally quickly outdated. To counteract this fact this study mainly focuses on mid- and long-term rather than on short-term/annual changes.
