The Gross Value Added (GVA) per employee in the sawmilling and planing of wood sector in France is projected to slightly decline from 54.9 thousand euros in 2024 to 54.5 thousand euros in 2028. This modest decrease reflects a stable yet stagnant performance in productivity per employee. The sector experienced no substantial growth over these years, primarily maintaining its current economic contribution levels.

Future trends to watch for in this industry include:

Technological advancements in wood processing, potentially enhancing efficiency and output.
Shifts in global timber supply chains due to environmental policies, impacting raw material costs.
Increasing demand for sustainable wood products, possibly driving innovation and market expansion within environmentally-conscious segments.
