The cross laminated timber market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been a swift expansion in the size of the cross laminated timber market. The market which was worth $1.6 billion in 2024 is expected to grow to $1.91 billion in 2025, experiencing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9%. Factors contributing to this growth during the historic period include sustainable construction methods, acknowledgement of green building certifications, cost-friendly construction alternatives, heightened consciousness around climate change, flexibility and liberty in architecture and design, as well as urbanization and population increase.
The Cross Laminated Timber market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of cross laminated timber is anticipated to experience swift expansion in the upcoming years. It is projected to surge to $3.77 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.5%.
The surge during the forecast period can be associated with a variety of factors such as regulatory backing for timber construction, concentration on carbon-neutral construction, rising demand for energy-efficient buildings, resilience towards earthquake-prone zones, its use in cost-effective housing projects, and consumer's inclination towards natural resources. Noteworthy trends during this period comprise conceptualizing sustainability and environmental advantages, technological breakthroughs in CLT production, amalgamation with building information modeling (BIM), deployment in hybrid construction systems, formulation of codes and standards, initiatives in education and training, along with financial stimuli and backing.
The cross-laminated timber market is poised for expansion as a result of the surge in construction activities. Construction activities, which involve any tasks related to construction at a locality, often utilize timber for building items such as doors, windows, cabinets, cupboards, shelves, tables and railings, thereby elevating the demand for cross-laminated timber. For example, Construction Digital, a UK based firm linking all construction brands, reported in June 2023 that the UK's construction sector is anticipated to experience a 12% growth in 2024, with an additional 3% boost in 2025. As such, the escalating construction activities are likely to fuel the development of the cross-laminated timber market.

Leading enterprises in the cross laminated timber market are updating their manufacturing units to elevate efficiency, boost production, and satisfy the escalating demand for environmentally-friendly construction substances. For example, in March 2024, Timberlab, an American company specializing in fabricated wood products, revealed the launch of a new cross-laminated timber (CLT) facility in Oregon. The purpose of this facility is to amplify the manufacturing potential of CLT panels, fulfilling the rising need for sustainable construction products. This initiative aligns with Timberlab's plan to encourage green construction methods and satisfy the growing requirements of the construction sector.
