Last updated:
Source: UN Comtrade, annual series summed across included reporters.
Source description: Annual exports of woodworking machinery to North America (US, Canada, Mexico), aggregated across all included EUMABOIS-method reporters and summed to EU level. Trade data from UN Comtrade. Values are nominal USD and net weight in kg. If the latest year is marked preliminary, it is estimated from YTD YoY growth extrapolated to a full year.

Key findings:
- In 2025, EUMABOIS Machinery Exports to North America decreased versus 2024, pointing to softer annual demand for European woodworking machinery in North America.
- The latest three-year average is above the prior three-year period, suggesting a stronger investment cycle than earlier in the series.
- Compared with Asia, North America is the smaller reported destination in 2025, showing relatively weaker European machinery export demand.

Methodology: EUMABOIS Machinery Trade Methodology
This indicator presents annual exports of woodworking machinery from EUMABOIS-reporting countries to North America. The series is compiled using the EUMABOIS trade-analysis framework and aggregates exports across a harmonised group of woodworking-machinery HS codes. It provides a long-term perspective on how European machinery suppliers participate in equipment markets serving the North American wood processing and furniture manufacturing industries.
Market Context
Trade flows of woodworking machinery offer insight into investment activity within the furniture manufacturing and wood-processing sectors. When machinery exports increase, it often reflects rising capital expenditure by manufacturers expanding production capacity or upgrading technology. Because European producers play a major role in supplying industrial woodworking equipment globally, exports to North America can signal shifts in industrial investment cycles in one of the world’s largest furniture and construction-related manufacturing markets. The EUMABOIS-method reporter scope includes Türkiye where source coverage supports inclusion. Related indicators include the EUMABOIS Machinery Exports to Asia, which tracks export flows of woodworking machinery from European producers to Asian markets.
