Engineered Wood Global Market Report 2026

Engineered wood is a manufactured product created by bonding layers of wood strands, veneers, or fibers with adhesives to form durable composite materials. It is specifically designed to improve strength, stability, and resistance to warping or shrinking. Engineered wood provides excellent versatility and cost-effectiveness, optimizing raw material use while promoting eco-friendly construction practices.

The main types of engineered wood include plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), cross-laminated timber (CLT), laminated veneer lumber (LVL), oriented strand board (OSB), glue-laminated timber (glulam), and particleboard. Plywood is produced by cross-layering thin wood veneers to enhance strength, durability, and resistance to warping, making it suitable for construction and furniture applications. It is used across various sectors such as construction, flooring, furniture, packaging, transport, and others, serving end-users in non-residential, residential, and industrial markets.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the engineered wood market by increasing costs of imported timber, adhesives, resins, and wood processing machinery used in plywood, MDF, and CLT production. Construction and furniture sectors in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported raw materials, while Asia-Pacific faces export cost pressures. These tariffs are increasing material prices and affecting project budgets. However, they are also encouraging domestic timber utilization, regional manufacturing expansion, and investment in sustainable wood processing facilities.

This engineered wood market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The engineered wood market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $293.23 billion in 2025 to $313.08 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of residential and commercial construction, improved wood processing technologies, increased use of composite wood panels, availability of plantation timber resources, growing demand for cost-effective building materials.

The engineered wood market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $402.31 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable construction materials, rising adoption of modular and prefabricated buildings, expansion of green building certifications, growing use of engineered wood in infrastructure, increasing innovation in wood composite technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of engineered wood in construction, rising use of cross-laminated timber structures, growing demand for lightweight structural panels, expansion of prefabricated building components, enhanced focus on material strength and stability.

The growth of the engineered wood market is being driven by the increase in residential construction, which is fueled by rising urbanization and housing demand. Residential construction refers to the building or renovation of living spaces such as houses, apartments, and condominiums. This increase is largely due to the ongoing urbanization trend, where more people are moving to cities, thereby creating a higher demand for housing. Engineered wood is well-suited for residential construction because of its strength, durability, and stability, making it ideal for applications such as framing, flooring, roofing, and paneling. It also resists warping better than solid wood, offering a more cost-effective and long-lasting solution. For example, in June 2024, the United States Census Bureau reported that privately owned housing completions reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,514,000 in May, marking a 1.0% increase from 1,499,000 in May 2023. As a result, the rise in residential construction is contributing to the expansion of the engineered wood market.

Leading companies in the engineered wood market are increasingly developing eco-friendly engineered wood products in response to environmental regulations and rising construction needs. These sustainable alternatives to solid wood are made using recycled materials and low-emission adhesives, produced through efficient manufacturing processes. Such products help conserve natural resources, reduce waste, and provide durable and adaptable solutions for both construction and furniture. For instance, in May 2025, SPAN FLOORS, an India-based premium wood flooring manufacturer, introduced a high-end line of engineered wood flooring specifically designed for staircases. This new line offers a refined alternative to traditional materials such as marble and combines the natural beauty of real wood with advanced multi-layered construction, delivering improved stability, durability, and safety. It is suitable for heavy foot traffic and changing environmental conditions. Made from responsibly sourced wood, this collection aims to enhance the look and feel of modern Indian homes while promoting environmentally conscious living.

In June 2025, Atlas Engineered Products, a Canadian company known for designing, manufacturing, and selling engineered roof trusses, acquired Truss-Worthy Construction Systems Inc. for $1.575 million. This acquisition is intended to expand Atlas's manufacturing presence across Canada, increase its operational capacity in Eastern Ontario, reach new customers, grow its production abilities, and strengthen its role in the engineered wood market. Truss-Worthy Construction Systems Inc. is a Canadian manufacturer that produces engineered wood products and roof trusses.
