Cross Laminated Timber Market Report 2025

The cross laminated timber market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.6 billion in 2024 to $1.91 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to sustainable construction practices, green building certifications, cost-effective construction solutions, rising awareness of climate change, architectural flexibility and design freedom, urbanization and population growth.

The cross laminated timber market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.77 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to regulatory support for timber construction, focus on carbon-neutral construction, demand for energy-efficient buildings, resilience in seismic zones, adoption in affordable housing projects, consumer preference for natural materials. Major trends in the forecast period include sustainability and environmental benefits, advancements in CLT manufacturing, integration with building information modeling (BIM), use in hybrid construction systems, code and standards development, education and training initiatives, financial incentives and support.

The rise in construction activities is anticipated to drive the growth of the cross-laminated timber market in the coming years. Construction activity refers to any work related to building at a site. Timber is commonly used in the construction of doors, windows, cabinets, cupboards, shelves, tables, and railings, among other applications, leading to increased use of cross-laminated timber in construction projects. For example, in June 2023, Construction Digital, a UK-based company that connects construction brands, reported that the construction industry in the UK is expected to grow by 12% in 2024, with an additional 3% growth in 2025. Therefore, the increase in construction activities is expected to boost the cross-laminated timber market.

The surge in infrastructure investment is set to further propel the cross-laminated timber market's growth. Cross-laminated timber, known for its durability and versatility, is increasingly favored in infrastructure projects for its ability to reduce air infiltration and enhance building thermal efficiency. Notably, in June 2022, the U.S. federal government allocated significant funds, spending $36.6 billion primarily on infrastructure and providing $94.5 billion to provinces. This substantial investment in infrastructure development positions cross-laminated timber as a preferred material, driving growth in the market.

Leading companies in the cross-laminated timber market are upgrading their production facilities to enhance efficiency, boost output, and cater to the growing demand for sustainable building materials. For instance, in March 2024, Timberlab, a US-based manufacturer specializing in engineered wood products, announced the launch of a new cross-laminated timber (CLT) facility in Oregon. This facility aims to increase the production capacity of CLT panels to meet the rising demand for eco-friendly building materials. The initiative is part of Timberlab's broader strategy to promote sustainable construction practices and fulfill the expanding needs of the construction industry.

Strategic partnerships are becoming integral to the cross-laminated timber market, with major companies opting for collaborations to enhance local supply chains. Setra Group AB, a UK-based manufacturing and distributing company, announced a partnership with Vasakronan AB in January 2023. This collaboration aims to deliver locally made cross-laminated wood and glulam for Uppsala's Lumi district project. The initiative includes the use of cross-laminated wood beams for additional floors, innovative footbridges connecting buildings, and glulam for the atrium's roof structure. Such partnerships leverage each company's strengths, fostering mutual benefits and contributing to the growth of the cross-laminated timber market.

In February 2022, Mayr-Melnhof Holz, an Austria-based company specializing in timber and laminated timber processing, acquired Bergkvist Siljan for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Mayr-Melnhof Holz aims to increase its lumber production capacity by around 50%, reaching over 2.7 million cubic meters of sawn timber annually, with the goal of generating 1 billion Euros ($1.02 billion) in sales. Bergkvist Siljan is a Sweden-based company that operates within the cross-laminated timber market.

Cross-laminated timber is an engineered wood material comprising layers of kiln-dried dimension lumber arranged at sharp angles to each other and bonded together to create structural panels. It finds applications in both load-bearing and non-load-bearing structures, including walls, floors, and roofs. The panel gains structural strength in multiple directions due to the bonding at different angles.

The main types of cross-laminated timber are adhesive bonded and mechanically fastened. Adhesive bonding involves joining two surfaces together, typically forming a smooth bond. Various applications include residential, institutional, commercial, and other uses, catering to different end-users in both structural and non-structural contexts.
