In 2023, the turnover per employee in the French wood products industry stood at a significant benchmark. Forecasts predict a steady increase starting in 2024, with slight year-on-year growth observed through 2028, suggesting a consistent expansion trajectory. The forecast values reaching 184.7 thousand euros by 2028 depict a compounded annual growth rate that is modest yet stable.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of emerging sustainable wood technologies on operational efficiencies.
Shifts in workforce skill requirements due to automation and digitalization.
Potential market expansions both within and outside Europe.
Implications of changing environmental policies and regulations on production processes.
