Global Heat-treated Wood Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Heat-treated Wood market size is predicted to grow from US$ 434 million in 2025 to US$ 578 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2025 to 2031.

Heat-treated wood is the wood or limber that has been exposed to high temperatures.

The first one is based on the recommendation of the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) 15, the wood that is used to package materials, such as pallets, require a less intense temperature for treatment. Generally, the temperature is around 133°F (56°C), and the duration is about 30 minutes. In this case, HT wood can stop the spread of insects and disease through international trade.

The second one is thermal modification of the wood. It needs to treat the wood for a certain period of time in a low oxygen environment of 160°C ~ 230°C. This time periods can reach to 96 hours. This heat treatment can improve the dimensional stability of the wood, remove or slow down the internal stress of the wood, and at the same time improve the preservative properties of the wood.

This report focus on the second type of heat-treated wood. For this type of HT wood, several heat treat processes have appeared on the market. Among them, the ThermoWood process, which comes from Finland, has achieved a great breakthrough in business, and it is also the most widely used process.
