The board of directors of the European Parquet Federation (FEP) met at Bauwerk Group Schweiz AG in Switzerland last month and discussed the parquet situation in the European markets. In general, FEP says the situation is slightly improving but those improvements are coming from very low levels.
Several countries are reporting the first signs of relief delivered by the European Commission’s already applicable provisional anti-dumping duties on imports of Multilayer Wood Flooring from China. The definitive anti-dumping duties in this case are expected to be formally imposed by July 15, 2025. On the other hand, FEP says impacts of the current and unpredictable “trade war” are difficult to assess right now, but it is for sure not reducing uncertainties for consumers and producers.
As usual, the results show variations from country to country. Click here to view a brief recap of each country’s market overview.
The FEP’s 69th General Assembly and 49th Parquet Congress are scheduled on June 12-13, 2025 in Scandinavia, Stockholm.
