Market tightness
• European production affected by weather conditions
• Solutions to better anticipate/communicate/coordinate?
2016-2017 heating season allowed the industry to recover
2017-2018 heating season rather disappointing
EU sales of stoves encouraging: very dynamic market
EU sales of boilers recovering but not fully
Commercial market promising and underexploited
