The global engineered wood market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period 2023-2031. The market growth is driven by various growth factors such as growing demand for housing units & infrastructural facilities, growing urbanization, and stringent government regulations, among others. 

Growing demand for infrastructural facilities and housing units is attributed to increasing population globally coupled with improvement in the standard of living, placing increased demand on the supply of new housing. As per the studies, during 2019-2041, Europe is expecting an increase of 16% with household growth at the rate of 23%— a difference of 7% in demand. The demand for new housing is forcing governments around the world to push for innovations like 3D printing, prefabricated houses, and other construction methods to speed up the supply of new housing. Challenges with the availability of materials to fulfill the demand of constructing billions of new homes emphasize the requirement to resource material efficiently. Government policies encourage the sustainable design of new buildings to maximize future re-use, reduce carbon emissions, and management of resources efficiently will be essential. Countries are aggressively promoting policies to help sustain and increase new housing provisions. Hence, opening opportunities for the demand for engineered wood globally. 

The engineered wood market is majorly driven by growth in demand for substitute conventional wood for building materials. As engineered wood is an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to other building material products such as cement and wood, it becomes an economical substitute. Also, substituting emission-intensive materials such as aluminum, steel, or concrete with engineered wood is expected to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
