Europe Saw Blade for Wood Industry Market Growth and Forecast by 2030

The saw blade for wood industry market was valued at US$ 286.12 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 367.85 million by 2030; it is expected to register a CAGR of 3.2% during 2022–2030.

Analyst Perspective:

In Europe, Italy recorded the highest CAGR of 4.4% followed by the UK and Germany owing to rapidly growing demand for furniture and plywood wooden products for residential purpose, in 2022. According to European Commission, the Italian furniture exports increased by 25.7%, which was valued around US$ 53.5 million in 2022 compared to 2021.

The saw blade market holds a prominent position in the European economy. Wood is mainly preferred for energy generation, furniture, and flooring purposes in Europe. The region is responsible for about 5% of the world's forests. Forests are an economic resource in addition to their ecological worth. Approximately 60% of the forest land is privately owned, while 40% is public in Europe. As a result, the commercialization of wood is higher compared to any other region. Moreover, a majority of the EU's forests (85%) are available for timber supply, which is a critical component of the forest's function in revenue creation, employment, and the transition to a bioeconomy. This has helped the wood product manufacturers to produce wood products without any fluctuation in the raw material supply.

Market Overview:

Saw blades are replaceable toothed cutting components used in many hand-held devices as well as portable and stationary power tools. The wood industry in Europe is one of the notable industries as it generates a significant portion of the region's economy. As per the data provided by Eurostat in 2022, the gross value added (GVA) of wood-based industries in the EU was US$ 167.04 billion in 2020, accounting for 7.2% of the overall manufacturing industry. In 2020, the gross value added of producing wood and wood products was 37 billion euros. The highest GVA in the EU's wood-based industries was reported for pulp, paper, and production of paper products (34%). Printing and printing-related service activities accounted for 16% of the GVA of wood-based industries, while furniture manufacturing and wood and wood product manufacturing each accounted for between 23% and 27%, respectively.

Wood is primarily used in the construction industry in the form of sawnwood and wood panels. The demand for sawnwood and wood panels is increasing in Europe owing to growth in the construction industry. As per the data provided by the European Organization of Sawmill Industry (EOS) in 2022, production in 2021 reached an all-time high in EOS member countries. The production of sawnwood in 2021 was 86 million cu. Meter. Further, continuous growth in the pulp & paper industry is another factor that drives the demand for wood and wood processing tools in Europe. As per the data published by the European government, the pulp & paper industry in the region reached US$ 130,226 million in 2022, a 21% hike from 2020. Thus, owing to the increasing demand for wood in the construction, paper, and pulp industries, the need for wood processing tools is increasing, ultimately fueling the saw blade market in the European wood industry.
