Growth in the chipboard sector will be higher than average with 7.5%
would be may way to work arroun "überproportional"; I wouldn't hesitate to forget about "beteiligt" all together; but an alternative could be:
"A larger than average part of this growth is taken up by the chipboard sector with 7.5% growth".
