Global Glue-Laminated Timber Market

The global glue-laminated timber market has experienced a healthy growth over the past few years. This can be accredited to the low-cost and eco-friendly nature of glue-laminated timber along with surging applications.

Glue-laminated timber is a structural lumber product which is used for both residential and commercial projects. It is made by bonding thin layers of timber together with superior wood adhesives. The laminating process eliminates the natural variations in the performance of solid timber, thereby resulting in consistent performance. Owing to this, glue-laminated timber has rapidly gained prominence as a green building solution in the recent years. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Glue-Laminated Timber Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, estimates that the market was worth US$ 3.4 Billion in 2017, growing at a CAGR of nearly 5% during 2010-2017. The report further anticipates the global glue-laminated timber market value to cross US$ 4.1 Billion by 2023. 

Global Glue-Laminated Timber Market Drivers/Constraints:

• The growing preference for wood-based construction materials due to their advantages including high thermal performance, chemical resistance, durability, light weight, etc. are expected to influence the growth of the global glue-laminated timber market.
• The governing authorities across various nations are encouraging the use of wood-based products due to growing sustainability concerns. This, in turn, is catalysing the demand for glue-laminated timber.
• As glue-laminated timber offers design flexibility, cost-effectiveness and ease of construction, it is extensively being used in applications ranging from flat, large roof systems to complex arches. This is anticipated to propel the growth of the market across the globe.
• Poor acoustic performance, high maintenance costs, rise in the price of raw materials and transportation costs are some of the factors that can hamper the demand for glue-laminated timber.

Application Insights:

On the basis of application, the market has been segmented as new construction and replacement applications. Amongst these, new construction applications dominate the market, holding the majority of the global share. This can be attributed to the increasing usage of glue-laminated timber in the industrial, recreational, commercial and residential construction projects.
