The major players in the global cross laminated timber market are Mayr-Melnhof Holz (Austria), Stora Enso (Finland), Binderholz GmbH (Austria), Hasslacher Holding GmbH (Austria), and Schilliger Holz AG (Switzerland). These players opted for inorganic growth through mergers & acquisitions, agreements, and partnerships. For instance, in October 2022, Stora Enso’s new production site for cross-laminated timber (CLT) in Ždírec, the Czech Republic, was inaugurated today. Following a Euro 79 million (USD 82 million) investment, the new CLT site is one of the most modern in the world, supporting Stora Enso’s strategy of growth within wooden building solutions. With the new site, Stora Enso’s CLT production capacity will grow substantially to meet the increasing demand for sustainable, cost-effective, and renewable building materials. There is high demand for cross laminated timber in the emerging markets of Asia Pacific due to the significant growth of the construction industry. Environment-friendly characteristics, durability, and better aesthetic appearance drive consumption in various applications. Growing investment in emerging markets and less regulated regions is a key factor providing growth opportunities for the market players. However, stringent and time-consuming regulatory policies are major challenges for the market players.
