Joinery Installation in Germany industry analysis

The carpentry and joinery sector has been in decline since 2019. At the beginning of the last five-year period, historically low interest rates favoured positive development in the construction industry, which was also boosted by rising average incomes and the influx of people to the country's urban centres. Since the increase in the European base rate in summer 2022, however, there has been a continuous decline in construction activity, which is also having a negative impact on the industry. As a result, turnover fell at an average annual growth rate of 1.5% between 2019 and 2024. For 2024, IBISWorld is forecasting total turnover of €18 billion, which corresponds to a slight increase of 0.2% compared to the previous year.In the current year, the carpentry and joinery sector is likely to benefit from rising net household incomes. If private individuals have more income at their disposal, they can make larger investments in the purchase of new furnishings and hire professional help. In June 2024, the base rate was also lowered for the first time since 2022 to make construction loans more affordable and encourage investment in new builds and renovations. The slight improvement in the business climate should also lead to companies spending more and renovating or refurbishing their office space in future.The carpentry and joinery sector is expected to develop positively again over the next five years due to the reduction in the base rate and the revival in demand from the construction sector. IBISWorld expects an average annual growth rate of 2.8% per year and a total turnover of 20.6 billion euros in 2029. The shopfitting sector, among others, is seen as a growth market. In addition, sales in the fit-out sector are likely to grow due to the increased integration of online and offline retail and the high demand for storage systems. Nevertheless, competition between the players is likely to remain intense.

Trends and Insights

  • In recent years, the industry has benefited from the trend towards refurbishments and renovations. Instead of building new flats and houses, many households have extended or renovated their own homes.
  • The installation of kitchens and home furniture accounts for the majority of the industry's sales. Due to the trend towards complex kitchen furnishings, demand in this segment is likely to increase further in the future.
  • The distribution of companies is relatively closely aligned with the population distribution. The most populous federal state, North Rhine-Westphalia, is home to the largest number of sector companies. Construction activity is particularly high in urban centres due to increasing urbanisation, which is boosting demand for sector services.
  • Private individuals take on many of the industry activities themselves. The installation and assembly of kitchens in particular is often carried out independently.
