The Austrian Timber Industry Association reports a sawdust price index of 379.5 % for November 2024 (base: January 2001 = 100%) and thus a minimal month-on-month decrease of 0.8 points. Year on year, the index value fell sharply by 160.5 percentage points. In November 2023, the sawdust price index was still at 540%.
A much more stable development can be observed when it comes to wood chips. Compared to October, the price index of this sawmill byproduct even increased by 2 points to 208.6%. The year-on-year comparison is also much less extreme than in the case of sawdust. Compared to November 2023, the price index for wood chips decreased by 29.2 percentage points.
