Positive trend

The Federation of the European Parquet Industry (FEP) estimates that the volume of parquet sales in Europe grew by about five per cent in 2005. The estimate is based on first analyses of the European parquet market, which has recorded growth for the third year in succession. The Federation assumes that the total consumption of parquet in the EU and EFTA countries has now far exceeded the 100 mio m² mark, even though not all countries are benefiting equally from this growth.
