Some of the key trends aiding the Europe cross-laminated timber market development include the demand for cross-laminated timber by the building and construction industry, and packaging sector. Europe is considered the world's largest manufacturer of cross-laminated timber, with buildings constructed using this material experiencing high demand across North America and Europe.

CLT is increasingly being used in residential buildings due to its excellent thermal insulation performance, which has resulted in the growth of the residential segment as Europe accounts for 65% of the global timber-based wood material production. In Austria, the HoHo Wien project in Vienna is a prime example of the increasing adoption of CLT in residential buildings.

Additionally, companies are carrying out research to develop Xlam from lumber obtained from trees and plants such as bamboo, which can reduce the cost of the product, making it more affordable compared to conventional building materials. In Germany, the H7 Office Building constructed using state-of-the-art CLT manufacturing techniques, showcases the structural integrity and design flexibility of CLT.

As per the Europe cross-laminated timber market analysis, PUR adhesive is widely used in CLT production in Europe due to its superior bonding strength, durability, and resistance to temperature fluctuations. It is approved by EN 16351 standards, making it a preferred choice for manufacturers in the region. Meanwhile, PRF adhesive offers excellent bonding performance and is suitable for structural applications in CLT production. It provides enhanced fire resistance and stability, making it a reliable choice for manufacturing CLT panels in Europe.

MUF adhesive is commonly used in CLT production in Europe for its ability to provide strong and durable bonds, especially in humid environments. It is approved by EN 16351 standards, ensuring quality and performance in CLT manufacturing.
