The global cross laminated timber market size is projected to grow from USD 1.4 billion in 2023 to USD 2.6 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 13.7%, between 2023 and 2028. The cross laminated timber market is mainly characterized by two main types: adhesive bonded, and mechanically fastened. Cross laminated timber has significant use in residential and non-residential end-use industries. The demand for environment-friendly materials from the construction industry and the rising need to improve performance, durability, and aesthetics are the key factors contributing to the growth of the cross laminated timber market. The growing investment in emerging markets is expected to create growth opportunities for the market players globally, driving the demand for cross laminated timber during the forecast period. However, stringent and time-consuming regulatory policies act as a challenge for the market players.

Adhesive bonded segment is expected to account for the largest share in 2023
Cross laminated wood is creating significant disruption in the mass timber market. With its incorporation in the International Building Code, cross laminated wood is expected to disrupt the mass timber sector globally by aiding builders and architects in the building and design of taller structures. The application in the non-residential sector is expected to be critical on a global scale. The bulk of the adhesives used in cross laminated timber is PU adhesives, making it an even more enticing option because they are formaldehyde-free and have VOC content that is below legal limits. As regulatory standards tighten, demand for PU adhesive products is expected to climb.
The DACH nations (Germany (D), Austria (A), and Switzerland (CH)) have been driving forces in CLT growth, not only as originators of CLT goods but also as prominent CLT producers. Austria has seven CLT manufacturing sites, Germany has three, and Switzerland has two. Smaller manufacturing sites exist in Finland, Italy, Norway, Spain, and Sweden, and new CLT plants are being built in Finland, France, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Structural segment in end use is expected to account for the largest share in 2023
Prefabricated buildings or concurrently created structures can be employed in modern construction to save time. There are standards for headers above doors and window apertures when building walls. These headers support the load of the roof from the top and prevent the wall framework from drooping. Headers increase the strength and stability of constructions. As a result, the header gives an extra layer of security to structures and improves the functionality of windows and doors for extended periods of time.
