The global cross laminated timber market size is expected to reach USD 3.56 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 14.9% from 2023 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to the growing adoption of cross laminated timber, as solid wood construction of cross laminated timber has a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it superior for usage in structural flooring systems as it can withstand both, compressive and tensile stress and has an extremely high static load-carrying capability.

Cross laminated timber market has been continuously witnessing expansion across the world. It is characterized by partnerships among major players to ensure their profitability and competitiveness in the market. For instance, in 2020, Stora Enso Oyj announced an investment worth USD 96.1 million in a new production line for manufacturing cross laminated timber at its sawmill in Ždírec, the Czech Republic. The investment is expected to enhance the market positioning of the company as a global provider of cross laminated timber panels and wooden products.

The cross laminated timber market is strengthened by technological advances, new prefabrication systems, and a series of processes that increase its sustainability, safety, and efficiency. Methodologies and tools, including virtual reality, BIM, and 3D printing and modeling have intertwined the design and construction process. Acton Ostry Architects & Hermann Kaufmann Architekten designed the UBC Tallwood House at Brock Commons project using the BIM tool and technologies provided by CadMakers.
