Consumption of selected wood products in Croatian and International markets

In the recent years market of wood and wood-based products on the global and European level, and also in Croatia has going through turbulent times. With regard to the economic problems, a decline in consumption of wood product was expected. In days of crisis, when purchasing power of the population decrease, products such as wood based products are not on demand priority list. The goal of this work is to determine the consumption of selected wood products – round wood and sawn wood, in some international markets and in the Republic of Croatia by applying the third method of calculating apparent consumption. Croatia is still lagging behind in regard to the European average consumption and the average consumption of EU-27 countries, especially if we take into consideration countries like Finland and Austria. Although it is an undisputed fact that the consumption of wood products should increase in Croatia, with respect to the global consumption and consumption of surrounding countries Croatia uses wood as material in higher volumes.
