Cross laminated timber Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Adhesive Bonded and Mechanically Fastened), By raw Materials (Spruce, Fir, Pine and Larch), By Press Type (Hydraulic, Vacuum, Pneumatic, Nails and Other press types), By Application (Walls, Ceilings, Roof Structures, Beams and Other Applications), By End User (Residential, Commercial and Institutional) and Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Cross Laminated Timber Market is accounted for $983.5 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $2446.2 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 16.4% during the forecast period. Cross-laminated timber is a wood panel product made by sticking layers of solid-sawn lumber. It is a sustainable product with a lesser carbon footprint. The system is made up of multilayer panels made of solid wood planks that have been stacked crosswise and joined together. The cross-laminated arrangement enhances mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and rigidity. Cross-laminated timber panels have structural performance that is comparable to concrete or steel and can be used for walls, floors, roofs, and other applications. CLT panels can be used in a variety of applications because they are strong and rigid. This growth is attributed to the growing demand for lightweight, durable, and sustainable construction materials in residential, institutional, and commercial applications
According to statistics from the European Union, Sweden uses 84% and Germany 20%, respectively, of prefabricated materials when building homes, which are primarily made of wooden structures. By 2025, about 6 lakh new homes will be built in Sweden and 3 lakh new homes will be built in Germany to meet the rising demand from the expanding population. This is anticipated to greatly expand the market for cross-laminated timber.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rising Demand for Environment-Friendly Construction Materials
Due to growing consumer awareness of environmental harm caused during the production of cement and bricks, cross laminated timber, an environmentally sustainable construction material, is in higher demand. As a result, both consumers and professionals are focusing more on using sustainable materials like wood to build structures and other infrastructure. Many governments encourage the use of Cross-laminated timber in construction because it is made from wood and offers financial and spatial benefits to the user. To boost the local economy, India's Public Works Department lifted the ban on using timber in building and habitat projects. The use of harmful materials like glass wool and foamed plastics for building insulation is reduced as a result of the timber's superior thermal and acoustic insulation when compared to conventional building materials.
Restraint:
Higher production costs and less utilisation
Cross-laminated wood has not been used in many construction projects because it is a relatively new material. It has been the subject of extensive technical research, but because the construction industry has a path-dependent culture that discourages deviating from accepted practises, it takes time to implement new techniques and insights. Because cross laminated wood is a relatively new material, it is not frequently produced.
Opportunity:
Require shorter period of construction time
Buildings made of cross-laminated wood take less time to construct than those made of common building supplies like concrete and bricks. This is in part because of its light weight and quick and easy installation. Due to its quicker construction process and lower built-up costs, Cross-laminated timber offers a more affordable alternative to other common construction materials like precast concrete. Any combination of walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs may be constructed using Cross-laminated timber. It is suitable for a variety of projects, designs, and site circumstances, such as soft soils or close proximity to existing structures, due to its light weight and other features. Additionally, Cross-laminated timber components can be combined with other building materials, giving architects more options for form, style, and finish.
Threat:
Flammability and moisture resistance impeding the market growth
Cross-laminated timber, a wood-based substance, shares similar drawbacks like mediocre fire and moisture resistance. While many businesses assert that wood has a good fire-proof capability and can burn for up to two hours in the event of a fire, it falls short of the performance of traditional building materials. The wood-based material is also vulnerable to moisture-related harm. Additionally, mold and bacteria could develop as a result of water buildup in walls, floors, and buildings, which could be harmful to the infrastructure. These aspects are hampering the market growth.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the supply chain by reducing demand from the construction industry and affecting the supply of wood, but the global boom for the material has not yet been halted. On the contrary, the pandemic has increased demand for eco-friendly building supplies. The medium- and long-term growth rate of the materials demand is now anticipated to be higher. However, the pandemic has only slightly impacted the market's performance. Lockdowns and a lack of skilled labour frequently resulted in the postponement of numerous large construction projects based on the material. In addition to North America and Europe, other regions are also gradually opening up to timber construction, increasing the proportion of timber-based construction.
The hydraulic press segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The hydraulic presses held more than 60% of the market, and it is predicted to hold largest share throughout the projected period. The most often used presses in CLT production facilities are hydraulic ones. Moreover, the demand for CLTs from residential construction is on the rise, and significant companies in the industry are boosting their production capacity, both of which are contributing to the segment's growth.
The Residential segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
During the forecast period residential segment is anticipated to register highest CAGR over the forecast period. The outstanding structural strength and recyclable properties of cross-laminated wood are expected to drive market growth in the residential sector. Moreover, the market is anticipated to be further boosted by increasing investments made by governments in a number of nations, including the USA, Canada, India, China, Japan, Germany, the UK, and others, for the adoption of environmentally friendly practises to reduce the construction industry's carbon footprint. Such aspects are expanding the segment’s growth.
Region with largest share:
The Europe region dominated the market with a 57.9% revenue share and is estimated to hold largest share during the forecast period. The majority of the world's markets are in Europe. Cross-laminated timber is being used more frequently in the region as a result of the expanding building industry in nations like the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and France. Additionally, the UK government announced that it has set aside US$4.87 billion to build 150K new homes by the year 2022, with timber serving as a crucial component. Furthermore, the market for cross-laminated wood products in the region is projected to be supported by strong demand from applications including residential homes in the single-family and multi-family sectors.
Region with highest CAGR:
During the projection period North American region is anticipated to witness highest CAGR. Cross-laminated timbers are becoming more and more well-liked in North America. A surge in demand for housing is expected in both Canada and the United States, which will benefit the cross-laminated timber market. Additionally, the region is developing an increasing number of tall wooden structures, which is boosting regional demand and production. Due to this demand for mass timber in construction is increasing, which will spur the regional growth.
