This indicator measures the monthly export unit value of raw particleboard shipped from Germany. It provides a data-driven proxy for price developments in one of the most widely used engineered wood panels in European furniture production. The series is calculated from international trade statistics by dividing export values by export volumes, creating an observable market price signal based on actual cross-border transactions.
Market Context
Particleboard plays a central role in the industrial production of furniture, particularly in mass-market and ready-to-assemble segments where panel materials dominate product structures. Because the material is used extensively in cabinets, wardrobes, shelving systems, and kitchen furniture, changes in particleboard prices can directly influence production cost structures across the furniture supply chain. Tracking export price developments from Germany—one of Europe’s largest panel producers—helps reveal shifts in raw material cost pressure, industry demand cycles, and structural changes in the European wood-based panel market. For comparison, the Poland Particleboard Price indicator tracks particleboard price developments in the Polish market.
