Description

The cross-laminated timber (CLT) market was valued at USD 1.60 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 3.59 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 14.68% during the forecast period.

“Increasing adoption of adhesive-bonded CLT to drive the cross-laminated timber market”

The adhesive-bonded cross-laminated timber (CLT) segment is the largest category in the CLT market and is expected to maintain the largest market share through 2030. Meanwhile, the mechanically fastened segment is steadily developing. The dominance of adhesive-bonded CLT in the market can be attributed to its high structural strength, smooth finish, and precise prefabrication. Adhesive bonding refers to a construction method that permanently joins perpendicular layers of timber using high-performance structural adhesives. This production process minimizes uneven distribution, reduces warping, and provides good resistance to fire, moisture, and vibration, making it highly desirable for construction projects such as walls, floors, and roofs. Adhesive-bonded CLT panels are particularly suitable for high-rise and mid-rise buildings due to their advantageous strength-to-weight ratio and their potential for clean architectural designs. Moreover, the introduction of bio-based and low-VOC adhesive formulations has improved the environmental performance of these panels, aligning with global trends in green construction. The flexibility of adhesive-bonded CLT in prefabrication, along with its straightforward construction, facilitates faster building processes with less on-site work, making it an ideal material for urban development. Given the increasing demands in the construction industry for speed, strength, sustainability, and design flexibility, it is anticipated that adhesive-bonded CLT will continue to lead the global market. Furthermore, leading manufacturers are capitalizing on research and development, automation, and green certification, reinforcing the position of adhesive-bonded CLT as the top-performing segment in the evolving mass timber construction industry.

“Structural applications continue to dominate the CLT market, by end use”

The structural applications segment is expected to hold the largest market share in the CLT market and will likely remain dominant throughout the forecast period. CLT panels are highly suitable for structures that must bear loads, making them ideal for residential and commercial walls, floors, roofs, and shear walls. Their cross-oriented lamella structure, composed of multiple layers, provides strength, dimensional stability, and fire resistance—qualities essential for structural constructions. With the increasing use of mass timber in sustainable buildings, CLT is increasingly viewed as a cost-effective alternative to concrete and steel due to its lighter weight, smaller carbon footprint, and ease of prefabrication. The dominance of the structural segment is further supported by the rise of mid-rise and tall wood buildings in Europe, North America, and some parts of the Asia Pacific. Construction codes in countries like Austria, Canada, and the US are now accommodating timber construction in taller structures, making structurally stable solutions like CLT increasingly popular. On the other hand, non-structural applications such as cladding, facades, and partitioning are gaining traction primarily due to the aesthetic and thermal properties of CLT, although they remain a small segment of the market. As the construction sector moves toward carbon-neutral practices, the use of CLT is poised to drive a significant shift toward more environmentally friendly buildings. Given its demonstrated effectiveness in managing seismic, thermal, and acoustic loads, the structural end-use segment is set to lead the CLT market.

“Residential sector to register the fastest growth in the CLT market”

The residential sector is the most rapidly growing niche within the CLT market. It is estimated to experience the fastest growth among industry verticals. While non-residential construction—such as schools, commercial buildings, and institutional structures—currently holds a larger market share, the residential segment is expanding quickly due to several factors, including increased urbanization, government housing initiatives, and a shift in consumer preferences toward eco-friendly homes. CLT is becoming increasingly popular in single-family homes, row houses, and low-to-mid-rise apartment complexes. This is largely because of its fast installation method, the mass customization possibilities of designs, and its energy efficiency, which leads to significant energy savings. The ability to prefabricate components off-site contributes to considerable reductions in construction schedules, minimizes on-site construction work, and decreases disturbances to neighboring properties. As a result, CLT is a practical choice for housing construction, particularly in urban and suburban areas. Additionally, buyers are placing more importance on aesthetics, which has led to a growing appreciation for the beauty of exposed timber structures. The influence of biophilic design is also gaining traction, prompting many architects and homeowners to select mass timber as their primary construction material. On the other hand, non-residential applications, such as educational facilities, healthcare buildings, office complexes, and retail spaces, will continue to be significant consumers of CLT, particularly for large-scale projects. Nevertheless, the rising interest in policies supporting sustainable housing, carbon-neutral building requirements, and subsidies for green buildings are creating new trends in residential construction.

“Europe dominates the CLT market, while Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region”

Europe currently holds the largest share of the CLT market, and this trend is expected to continue in the coming years. This dominance can be attributed to early adoption of CLT, advanced manufacturing ecosystems, and building codes that promote the use of engineered wood for structural applications. Countries such as Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and those in the Nordic region are leaders in mass timber architecture, supported by a strong cultural and industrial heritage in sustainable forestry and its application in construction. The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to experience even faster growth. This increase is driven by rising urbanization rates, sustainability requirements, and a shift toward more modular construction methods. Japan, China, South Korea, and Australia are making significant investments in mass timber buildings, spurred by government pilot programs and updates to building codes. Japan’s tradition of timber architecture and its focus on earthquake-resistant structures align well with the properties of CLT. Meanwhile, in China, interest in mass timber is growing due to a heightened awareness of environmental issues and the efficient use of resources.
