In 2023, Finland leads Europe with the highest direct material input of wood per capita, followed by Estonia, Latvia, and Sweden. The highest growth was in the Czech Republic, Lithuania, and Iceland, showcasing notable increases. In contrast, Finland, Estonia, and Switzerland experienced declines. Over five years, many countries demonstrate stable growth with variations and adaptability in the sector, although a few like Switzerland and Greece show slight declines. Finland's marginal decrease may suggest saturation or loss in competitive advantage.
Future trends to watch include the potential for increased input driven by eco-friendly and sustainable practices. The Baltic States may continue to strengthen their positions, while Central and Eastern Europe could see potential catch-up growth. Adapting to technological advancements and policy changes related to sustainability may also greatly impact the input rates across these countries.
