Furniture, interior fit-out, construction\u2014especially interior applications\u2014and packaging are the main end uses. In 2024 higher home sales combined with momentum in furniture supported demand to a degree.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capacity utilization:<\/strong> CU fluctuated through the year. While global uncertainty with domestic conditions occasionally drove dips, the sector remained broadly active.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Raw-Material Dynamics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Feedstock\u2014particularly wood and wood residues\u2014is critical.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Input prices:<\/strong> Prices for wood and wood chips fluctuated in 2024. Rising energy costs with global supply-demand imbalances pushed input costs higher.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supply chain:<\/strong> The industry relies largely on domestic wood supply. Forest management, sustainability principles and waste management remained vital for stable feedstock availability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Exports and Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although domestically oriented, the industry continued to leverage export potential.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Export volume:<\/strong> Shipments of particleboard and related wood-panel products maintained activity in selected markets.
