The seductive simplicity of simply switching from concrete to wood is hard to resist, but it starts to lose its luster as larger scales of interaction come into focus. While most industry advocates admit that the carbon saving potential for mass timber is predicated on rigorous sustainable forestry management practices, most fail to emphasize the gargantuan effort enacting such practices would take. This convenient omission is crucial, reminiscent of other sustainability-oriented design innovations championed for their revolutionary and disruptive potential, yet challenge very little about the system they propose to revolutionize.
Green and other equally enthusiastic wooden skyscraper advocates ignore that if mass timber technology exists simply to offer powerful real estate interests and tech giants an easy alternative to concrete and steel in their well-funded projects, it will almost certainly increase carbon emissions through rapid deforestation as demand for wood products goes up. Unless the rise of mass timber is accompanied with a strong demand for forest protections and bans on harmful practices, it cannot be claimed as a proper solution to ecological degradation. Through its passive attachment to the industrialized market of lumber harvesting and construction, CLT will devolve into technocratic material solutionism.

Excerpt from this story from Inside Climate News:
The mass timber industry’s promise of low carbon emissions through state-of-the-art laminated wood products has resulted in steady adoption across a construction industry long bogged down by high emissions and habitat destruction. 
But its growth prospects in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where hardwood trees predominate, have been less certain because cross-laminated timber (CLT), a type of mass timber used in place of concrete and steel, has traditionally been sourced almost entirely from softwood lumber. Over the next few years, that could change through research being done at Michigan Technological University into new resins that will allow hardwoods to be used in making cross-laminated timber. 
“I couldn’t put a number on when it is going to be on the market,” Mark Rudnicki, the director of the Hardwood Mass Timber Institute at Michigan Tech, said of hardwood cross-laminated timber. “But I don’t think it is good to characterize it as competing with softwood. I see this just as a diversification of wood as a building material. The point is that we want to use all of the biobased material that we can to replace carbon-intensive materials like concrete and steel.”
CLT is a form of mass timber, an artificially produced construction component made from layers of wood and resin that sticks them together. Making CLT is a relatively straight-forward process. Timber sheets are set out in one direction on a press, resin is added, then another sheet of wood is turned 90 degrees on top of it and set down. Repeat this process multiple times until you have a lasagna of wood held together with resin; the pressing machine squeezes it all together, producing a brick or panel. 
This process is ideal for creating large scale, prefabricated buildings at a fraction of the carbon emissions compared with traditional techniques. A 2022 review in the journal Sustainability cited studies which showed that replacing concrete or steel with CLT in mid-rise buildings can reduce manufacturing, transportation, and installation emissions by 13 to 26.5 percent, depending on how the project is designed. 
“The issue on hardwood versus softwood CLT is getting the manufacturing process right so that we develop a panel that can be certified as being a structurally sound panel,” said George H. Berghorn, a professor of construction management and sustainable wood construction at Michigan State University.

cross laminated timber Market: Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2036
Research Nester’s recent market research analysis on “cross laminated timber Market: Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2036” delivers a detailed competitor’s analysis and a detailed overview of the global cross laminated timber market in terms of market segmentation by layer, structure and by application.
Growing demand for the eco-friendly to Promote Global Market Share of cross laminated timber market.
The global cross laminated timber market is estimated to grow rapidly because of domestic applicability in the cross laminated timber market and will be driven by increasing demand for more innovative wooden residential buildings with greater design freedom and aesthetic appeal such as multigenerational flats and single-family homes these demands for the eco-friendly homes are friendly to nature and drives the market growth.
Request Report Sample@
Additionally, greater economic activity in developing nations, greater infrastructure spending, stricter environmental regulations, rising disposable income, and rising consumer demand for eco-friendly goods are all driving factors in the growth of the cross laminated timber (CLT) market. Growing consumer awareness of the beneficial qualities of cross laminated timber in the building industry is anticipated to propel the cross laminated timber (CLT) market expansion.
Some of the major growth factors and challenges that are associated with the growth of the global cross laminated timber market are:
Growth Drivers:
Surge in construction of new infrastructures
Rising reduction in greenhouse gas emission
Challenges:
CLT-based prefabricated homes is positively affecting the cross laminated timber market overview. The high costs of the cross laminated timber as well as their significant early costs have been a major limiting factor to market growth. For example, according to a study published in the Forest Products a mass timber building has 26% higher front-end costs than its concrete alternative.
By layers, the global cross laminated timber market is segmented into 5ply cross laminated wood segment, which is projected to grow at an increasing rate of 70% over the forecast period, would have a dominant market position on the Cross Laminated Wood Market. Dominating the market share in terms of revenue, Among the most cost effective CLTs, the 5-ply CLT offers a perfect balance between cost and strength. It's made of a number of layers, which makes it lighter and easier to deal with during construction. In addition, the device may be able to support much higher gaps and more heavy loads.
By region, the Asia Pacific cross laminated timber market is to generate the highest revenue by the end of 2036. Rapid growth is occurring in the CLT market, driven by factors such as urbanization, population growth and a demand for sustainable building solutions.
