2020 has passed, long live 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

The young wood pellet heating industry has grown rapidly since its inception some twenty years ago. In 2020, production reached 1.7 million tonnes. Since 2008, it has experienced a relatively linear increase of around 125,000 tonnes per year. Thanks to a dry, dense and homogeneous fuel manufactured locally and to the evolution of devices which have succeeded in meeting the many expectations of consumers in terms of comfort, reliability and performance, the fleet has grown rapidly. Today there are 1.2 million French households who heat themselves with wood pellets.<\/p>\n

In 2020, despite a difficult context, boiler sales increased by 2.5%, after having achieved incredible scores in the first half of the year. Reinvesting one’s home seems to have become one of the major concerns of many French households.<\/p>\n

Sales of stoves and other independent appliances declined. The number of parts sold still reached more than 127,000, or -19% compared to 2019. The year was more complicated for sales of independent devices because the \u201cstarters\u201d were unable to open their doors during the period. 1st and 2nd containment.<\/p>\n
