THE ATTITUDES OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE CHAIN OF WOOD PRODUCTS USE

Faced with increasing market globalization and liberalization, the Croatian wood processing and furniture industry is constantly seeking ways and methods to survive or improve its position. It is therefore necessary to stimulate the creation of higher use value of wood and its products as renewable and organic materials. The objective of this paper was to examine the opinions and views of experts on the Croatian wood processing and furniture industry. The experts included architects, investors, designers, journalists and sellers. Being directly or indirectly involved in the chain of wood products use, they exert an important influence on the final result. According to the research results and expert opinions, the Croatian wood processing and furniture industry is a promising sector that could help Croatia in the current economic crisis. However, there is insufficient investment in the development of this sector. As a result, the Croatian wood industry lags behind other global timber industries
