Article by Gerd Ebner, Günther Jauk (translated by Eva Guzely) | 06.04.2023 - 10:16

What emerges from the Holzkurier’s most recent surveys is that prices for solid structural timber and glulam remained nearly the same compared to February. Year on year, however, they fell sharply.

In March, prices for solid structural timber ranged from €320 to €380/m³ in Germany and Austria (in bulk), according to the Holzkurier’s survey. The average price of all dimensions was €350/m³ and thus remained stable compared to February. In March 2022, it had been at €515/m³. Compared to the hype in mid-2021, the price has halved.

As for glue-laminated timber, the Holzkurier identified prices of €490 to €510/m³ in Germany. In Italy, glulam cost €510 to €550/m³, and the average price remained constant compared to February. In Germany, on the other hand, a decrease of €13/m³ was recorded. One year ago, glulam was sold for €635/m³ in Italy and €620/m³ in Germany.
