Global Glue-Laminated Timber Market Report and Forecast 2023-2028


Market Outlook

According to the report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the global glue-laminated timber market reached a value of USD 2,927.2 million in 2022. Aided by the rising demand for sustainable construction materials and the versatile applications of glue-laminated timber in multiple industries, the market is projected to further grow at a CAGR of 5.06% between 2023 and 2028 to reach a value of USD 3,572.0 million by 2028.

Glue-laminated timber, often abbreviated as glulam, is a structural timber product formed by bonding individual timber laminations together with a durable adhesive. This composite material blends the natural aesthetic of wood with enhanced strength and structural integrity. It is prevalently utilised in both residential and commercial construction for beams, columns, bridges, and other structural elements. Due to its strength, dimensional stability, and design flexibility, glue-laminated timber has emerged as a preferred choice among architects and builders.

A significant force driving the global glue-laminated timber market growth is the global shift towards green and sustainable building practices. With heightened awareness about the environmental implications of construction materials and methods, there's a robust movement towards adopting materials like glulam that have a reduced carbon footprint and are derived from renewable sources.

Additionally, the mounting appreciation for aesthetic architectural designs which incorporate natural elements has further fuelled demand. Glue-laminated timber, with its ability to be moulded into varied shapes and its natural wooden appeal, fits seamlessly into contemporary architectural designs, thus experiencing heightened demand in modern infrastructural projects.

The versatile applications of glue-laminated timber significantly contribute to global glue-laminated timber market expansion. In residential construction, glulam is increasingly favoured for its ability to span large distances, providing open, column-free spaces, a design aspect much sought after in contemporary homes. In commercial spaces, including arenas, auditoriums, and other large public structures, glulam's strength and aesthetic appeal are being capitalised upon.

Within the industrial sector, the unique properties of glue-laminated timber, such as its resistance to fire and its capacity to bear substantial loads, make it an invaluable material for applications like bridge beams and utility poles. Moreover, advancements in adhesive technologies have further elevated the performance and reliability of glulam, broadening its applicability which is further augmenting the glue-laminated timber market growth.
