According to UnivDatos analysis, the rising demand for sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials, combined with government policies promoting low-carbon construction, are the major factors driving the growth of the Glue Laminated Timber market. As per their “Glue Laminated Timber Market” report, the global market was valued at USD 7,081.50 million in 2024, growing at a CAGR of about 4.35% during the forecast period from 2025 - 2033 to reach USD million by 2033.

Glue-laminated timber (Glulam) is a high-tech engineered wood product developed by gluing several layers of dimensioned timber using high-quality and moisture-resistant compounds to structure powerful and diverse structural components. Glulam is known to be an incredibly powerful material with design flexibility and aestheticism that has been extensively applied in beams, columns, trusses, and arches in residential, commercial, and infrastructure construction. In comparison with steel and concrete, Glulam has a much lower carbon footprint, and it is therefore a better option when it comes to sustainability.

Automation and CNC machining are improving design accuracy and cost efficiency

The application of automation and CNC machining is an emerging trend in the glue-laminated timber (Glulam) market, which is enhancing design precision and saving costs in a significant way. The sophisticated CNC machines also allow one to cut, shape, and join Glulam products with precision, and the architects and assist building constructors to achieve complex and customized designs with minimal waste. Automation also makes production processes leaner, cheaper, and scalable, allowing Glulam to compete better with traditional materials. Technology also reduces the time taken to complete a project through prefabrication and modular construction. All these benefits of using automation and CNC machining in the glulam industry are driving the market growth.

Investments, Strategies such as Acquisitions, and Expansions are Driving Growth in the Glue-Laminated Timber Market

Acquisitions and expansion as investment strategies are booming Glulam market, which leverages industry experience to boost output and expand internationally. Competitive acquisitions enable firms to incorporate superior technologies, enhance supply chains, and diversify product bases, and this renders Glulam more competitive compared to traditional materials. The introduction of new facilities in new locations increases accessibility and helps in responding to the increasing demand for green construction solutions. The benefits of these investments include economic development, reduced cost of production, and innovation in the development of environmentally friendly adhesives and prefabrication. Together, both acquisitions and expansions are striving to make the market grow faster and introduce Glulam as a player in the green building trends.

For instance, in May 2024, the glulam manufacturer American Laminators, based in Oregon, was acquired by Timberlab Holdings, with the facilities in Drain and Swisshome expected to be under Timberlab’s operation effective from 10 June 2024. An annual capacity of 20 million board feet, using Douglas Fir and Alaskan Yellow Cedar, is set to be optimised through operational upgrades. The acquisition is being positioned as a strategic expansion of Timberlab’s engineered wood offerings, with expectations of enhanced service quality, craftsmanship, and market reach in the mass timber sector.
