This market growth is estimated to grow on account of the growing need for cross laminated timers to cope with the increasing pollution around the world. The use of CLT helps in the reduction of carbon emissions from the overall construction process and promotes the use of renewable resources. Contribution of each form of renewable energy to the total primary energy consumption in the United States in 2022, 13.1% of the total energy came from renewable sources. Therefore, the growing demand for renewable sources is also driving the market growth.

Cross laminated timber, which is usually produced from sustainably harvested forests, is an environmentally friendly construction material. About 39% of yearly worldwide CO2 emissions originate from the built environment. Buildings activities account for approximately 26% of those total emissions every year, with infrastructure development and materials and construction (often referred to as embedded carbon) accounting for an additional close to 12% of the overall emissions annually. Hence, the implementation of CLTs is a major growth factor for the market development, since they help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the entire construction process and encourage the use of renewables.

Growth Drivers

  • Growing demand for eco-friendly buildings: The rapidity of domestic applicability in the cross laminated timber market will be driven by increasing demand for more innovative wooden residential buildings with greater design freedom and aesthetic appeal such as multigenerational flats and single-family homes these demands for eco-friendly homes are friendly to nature and drives the market growth. The green building sector all across the globe is expected to have the potential to cut energy consumption by about 49% by 2050. When compared to non-green buildings, green buildings see an asset value rise of approximately 6%.
  • Ongoing surge of construction according to trend: As a result of increasing awareness about the product's advantages, for instance, design flexibility, fire resistance, greater thermal performance, cost efficiency, and some others, cross laminated timber has become increasingly popular in construction applications. Also, by replacing materials like steel or concrete with CLT, building and construction are becoming more and more energy-efficient, with a correspondingly less environmental impact. Businesses have also come to see the value of implementing sustainable or green practices. Furthermore, this demand has been supported by the use of a clean & noise-free construction method, reduced building time, and low costs.
  • Increasing Demand for Clean Labelled Products – Consumers have exhibited a strong concern for product integrity and functionality, which is a major deciding factor in their decision to buy these goods. Businesses can rely on clean labels and natural certification, which demonstrate the product's genuineness. The validity of the raw materials used in the finished product, which were supplied by an authorized body, is further increased by these labels. Manufacturers of cross-laminated wood who invest in this certification label should see a large rise in demand.

Challenges

  • Limited End-Use Industries in Cross Laminated Timber Market - There are just a few end-use industries for cross-laminated timber, and each of them has its own set of rules for using the timber. To comply with the rules, manufacturers cannot change the product's specs. Each industry receives products of nearly identical quality from many manufacturers. As a result, there is no room for product differentiation in the market for cross-laminated timber, which is a significant hindrance to the industry's expansion internationally.
  • Fire and moisture resistance May Become a hindrance to the Growth of the Market
  • High Initial Cost of the Cross Laminated Timber May Hamper the Market Growth

Cross Laminated Timber Market Segmentation:

Application Segment Analysis

The non-residential segment in the cross laminated timber market is expected to hold the largest share of 54% by the end of 2035. Building construction has an influence on the environment, including the use of water and electricity. Cross laminated timber is in great demand among construction businesses for non-residential areas because of its mechanical, stiffness, and cosmetic advantages. Because of the benefits in design and following environmental requirements required in the office, public, institutional, and hotel segments, the non-residential building industry provides major prospects for cross laminated timber. The value of non-residential construction completed in the United States in 2027 is predicted to be around 646 billion US dollars based on planned construction development over the following few years. As a result, the non-residential sector provides enormous prospects and is likely to account for a significant part of the future market.

End-Use Segment Analysis

Cross laminated timber market for the structural segment is expected to hold a share of 52% during the forecast period. Cross laminated timbers of the structural grade are utilized in engineering construction. Currently, structural-grade cross-laminated timber is mostly used in commercial structures. As global new construction and restoration operations have increased, so has the use of hardwood floor beams. The industry is also being driven by the rising demand for eco-friendly dwellings. Design flexibility, thermal properties, fire protection, acoustic performance, and seismic performance are all benefits of structural cross laminated timber. When evaluating buildings and their applications and aims, architectural adaptability is crucial given how the housing market is changing. It permits greater spans and fewer interior support components when compared to steel and concrete constructions; this can be done by thickening the panel. All these factors are driving the growth of the segment.
