Global Cross-Laminated Timber Market

The global cross laminated timber market is growing at a healthy rate as they are environment-friendly and can be easily installed. Owing to this, cross laminated timber is now being increasingly used in the construction industry which has further given impetus to the market.

Cross laminated timber (CLT) is a panel of wood, designed by gluing together layers of solid-sawn timber. The process offers improved dimensional stability to the product, in-plane and out-of-plane strength, stiffness and increases the splitting resistance. Over the years, cross laminated timber has replaced other concrete alternatives such as steel and masonry due to their cost effectiveness, easy and faster installation, high strength, etc. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Cross Laminated Timber Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, estimates that the market was worth US$ 564 Million in 2017.
