This paper deals with the wood biomass market in the Slovak Republic regarding the main industrial players such as pulp and paper industry, agglomerate wood based panels’ producers and energy sector. The demand for wood biomass has undergone significant changes. Behind of rapidly growing consumption are not only traditional industrial sectors as pulp and paper and agglomerate wood based panels’ producers, but also subjects of energy sector utilising wood biomass as an input. Production of energy from renewable energy sources is growing significantly due to the higher purchase price of electricity (made from biofuels = biomass fuels) and opportunity to co-finance “bioenergy projects” through the European Union structural funds. Moreover, lack of supply is magnified by export. The characteristics and consequences of recent wood biomass market conditions are analysed in this paper.
