About EUWID Holz und Möbel

EUWID Holz und Möbel

EUWID Holz und Möbel is the German-language specialist information service for the wood and furniture industries, published by EUWID Europäischer Wirtschaftsdienst GmbH in Gernsbach – the weekly briefing the timber trade reads to know what its materials are worth. Appearing weekly in print – 50 issues per year – and continuously online, it is the comprehensive source of market intelligence for the entire wood and wood-based panels industry, the construction-elements and furniture industries, and the wood trade. Its editorial team researches internationally and condenses the news to the essential facts, with reporting that is objective and independent – and with price information that the industry uses for negotiations, calculations and settlements, week after week, year after year.

Overview

EUWID Holz und Möbel is published by EUWID Europäischer Wirtschaftsdienst GmbH, based in Gernsbach in Baden-Württemberg. The publication appears weekly in print, with 50 printed editions per year, and maintains the portal euwid-holz.de as its continuously updated digital counterpart. The offer is aimed exclusively at businesses, not consumers – a B2B information service for professionals who buy, sell, process or trade wood and furniture.

The readership spans the wood value chain: sawmills, wood-based panel manufacturers, the wood trade, furniture manufacturers, construction-element producers, surface-material suppliers, machinery makers and the relevant associations – everyone whose business depends on knowing what timber, panels and furniture components cost this week and why. What distinguishes EUWID from general trade magazines is its focus on market data: current and regular price reports and market analyses for roundwood and sawn timber, sawmill residues, wood products, wood-based panels, surface materials, construction elements and furniture. The price data, presented with interactive charts and tables, provides the reliable basis that the industry needs for negotiations, costing and invoicing – the numbers that purchasing managers bring to the table and sales directors defend in front of.

The editorial coverage extends across the German-speaking markets and throughout Europe, Russia, North and South America, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region – reflecting the global nature of timber and furniture markets, where a bark-beetle calamity in Central Europe or a tariff decision in North America moves prices worldwide.

History

EUWID – the Europäischer Wirtschaftsdienst – was built as a specialist publisher of market-information services for raw-material and industrial markets. The wood and furniture service grew out of the recognition that the timber industry, with its cyclical markets, regional price differences and complex supply chains, needed a dedicated, independent price-reporting and news service rather than relying on general trade press.

Over the years, EUWID Holz und Möbel developed its methodology: an editorial team conducting its own international research, building networks of market contacts among producers, traders and buyers, and publishing price assessments that the industry came to trust as an independent benchmark – the kind of neutrality that only a publisher without trading interests of its own can credibly offer. The service expanded its coverage from the core German-speaking markets to a global perspective, following the internationalization of timber trade – the rise of new supply regions, the growth of engineered wood products, and the increasing importance of certification and sustainability criteria.

The digital transformation brought the euwid-holz.de portal with personalized dashboards, dynamic charts, alerts and a comprehensive archive, alongside e-paper editions of the weekly print publication. A relaunch of the digital platform modernized the subscriber experience – with video explainers and a redesigned interface – while preserving the core product: fast, factual, independent market information. The publication continues to appear weekly, maintaining the rhythm that the industry's price-sensitive professionals depend on, because in timber markets a week of outdated prices can cost real money.

Content and Sections

The heart of EUWID Holz und Möbel is its market reporting. Regular price mirrors and market reports cover roundwood and sawn timber (softwood and hardwood), sawmill residues, wood products from glulam to CLT, wood-based panels (particleboard, MDF/HDF, OSB, plywood), surface materials (decor paper, finish foils, laminates), construction elements (windows, doors, prefabricated building components) and furniture across all segments – from upholstered and case furniture to kitchens, office furniture and mattresses.

Each market report analyzes supply and demand, costs and prices for defined product grades – for example, the window-scantling report published every six weeks covers meranti, spruce, pine, larch and oak grades across Central and Eastern European markets, examining price and volume developments between producers, resellers and large window manufacturers. Company news tracks the industry's players: capacity investments, closures, mergers, restructurings and personnel changes, such as the coverage of major furniture manufacturers' responses to weak market conditions.

Framework conditions form the third pillar: forestry policy, trade regulation, certification schemes, emissions rules, energy costs and construction-economy trends that shape the markets – from EU deforestation regulation to the boom-and-bust cycles of residential construction that drive demand for structural timber, panels and furniture alike. Background information and statistics help readers recognize and evaluate market-relevant developments and their interconnections. The topic index – from adhesives to wood packaging, from pellets to WPC – illustrates the breadth of the industry's material world that the service covers.

Publisher and Organization

The publisher is EUWID Europäischer Wirtschaftsdienst GmbH, based in Gernsbach in the northern Black Forest. EUWID operates a family of specialist market-information services covering pulp and paper, wood products and panels, recycling, packaging and energy – each with its own editorial team, portal and weekly publication rhythm. The wood and furniture service is one of the established pillars of this portfolio, alongside the English-language EUWID Pulp and Paper and the recycling and packaging services that together make EUWID the leading independent price-reporting house for Europe's material industries.

The editorial team (reachable at the Gernsbach headquarters) conducts the international market research that feeds the price reports and news coverage, while a customer-service hotline supports subscribers. The publisher's business model is subscription-based: the service is aimed exclusively at companies, with print, print-plus-online and trial-access options. The strict copyright regime – content licensed for the customer's own use, with digital redistribution prohibited – reflects the high value of the proprietary market data.

Digital Presence

The digital presence of EUWID Holz und Möbel centers on euwid-holz.de, which functions as far more than a magazine website: it is a market-data platform. Subscribers create personalized dashboards where they can read the day's latest news, follow the topics that interest them most, and analyze prices with interactive charts and tables – anytime and on any device. Alerts notify users when new prices are published; PDF downloads make tables and graphics portable.

The e-paper editions reproduce the weekly print publication digitally, with recent issues (such as edition 38/2026) available online for subscribers to read on any device, wherever their working week takes them. A weekly newsletter provides an overview of current topics and the most important news. The markets section organizes the price reports by product group, with reminder functions and comparison tools. Free trial access offers a non-binding impression of the full information service.

Through its combination of a weekly print edition, a continuously updated market-data portal, personalized dashboards, e-papers and newsletters, EUWID Holz und Möbel serves as the information manager of its industry – the service that the wood and furniture business consults when it needs to know what its materials are worth today, and why. In markets where margins are thin and price movements fast, that independence and speed are not luxuries but the working tools of the trade.
