2018 German woodworking machinery industry scale or super China

2018 Hannover Forestry Woodworking Conference was held in Guangzhou a few days ago. The German Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers Association said that the scale of German woodworking machinery manufacturing is expected to reach 3.4 billion euros in 2018, a year-on-year growth of 8%. Beyond China and Italy, become the world's largest woodworking machinery manufacturing country.

According to the association, the global production of woodworking machinery reached 12 billion euros in 2017, led by Germany, China and Italy. German woodworking machinery production is expected to jump from 2.4 billion euros in 2014 to 3.4 billion euros in 2018.

Dr. Bernhard Dirr, general manager of the association, pointed out that in the first eight months of 2018, German woodworking machinery manufacturers exported 1.5 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of 6%, and accounted for 58% of the majority of the European machinery market. In addition to the European market, East Asia and North America are two important export markets, and by country, the scale of wood machinery products sold to China is higher than that of the United States.

He believes that the current global woodworking industry is in a good situation, the construction industry is growing strongly, household consumption is strong, the global middle class has increased purchasing power, and the urbanization process is continuing to advance; new consumer markets such as Vietnam, India and Africa have gradually formed. These factors will bring positive to the development of the global woodworking machinery industry.

According to the association, at present, based on the unified architecture of open platform communication, the German Federation of Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers and the European Federation of Wood Processing Machinery Manufacturers are working together to develop relevant standards, aiming to solve the current digital trend of wood machinery and equipment language.
