The global Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 800 million in 2025 to US$ 1305 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2025 to 2031.
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is an innovative engineered wood product made up of multiple layers of solid wood boards stacked crosswise and bonded together using adhesives or mechanical fasteners. The cross-laminated structure significantly enhances the material's rigidity, dimensional stability, and overall mechanical properties. These characteristics make CLT suitable for a wide range of structural applications, including walls, floors, roofs, and even entire building systems. Its versatility allows it to be used in various building types, from residential homes to large commercial buildings.
The technology for producing CLT was first developed in Germany and Austria in the early 1990s, marking the beginning of a new era in sustainable construction. Over the past few decades, CLT has gained immense popularity, particularly in Europe, where it is viewed as a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional construction materials like concrete and steel. In 2018, European CLT sales reached 712.1 thousand cubic meters, accounting for more than 80% of global CLT production. Europe remains the leading region in CLT manufacturing, with significant production hubs in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
The global CLT market is dominated by several major players, including Stora Enso, Binderholz, KLH Massivholz, and Mayr-Melnhof Holz. Stora Enso, in particular, has emerged as the largest CLT producer in the world. The company operates several key CLT production facilities, including those at Ybbs and Bad St. Leonhard, which became operational in 2012 and 2008, respectively, and the Gruvön facility, which opened in 2019.
Trends: The CLT market is expected to experience continued growth, driven by increasing demand for sustainable building materials and the ongoing development of green building practices. Europe is expected to maintain its leadership in both production and innovation, with ongoing research and development efforts aimed at improving CLT's performance and expanding its applications. Additionally, the adoption of CLT is expanding beyond Europe, with North America emerging as a key market for this technology. The growing awareness of CLT's environmental benefits, such as its low carbon footprint and the use of renewable materials, is also contributing to its global expansion.
Moreover, advancements in CLT technology are enabling the construction of taller and more complex buildings, further demonstrating its potential as a viable alternative to traditional construction methods. As sustainability becomes increasingly central to the construction industry, CLT is likely to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of architecture and building design.
