The global wood and timber products market size is anticipated to reach USD 1,251.26 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising demand for wood and timber products is a result of multiple interlinked factors, from population-driven housing needs to sustainable product innovations. While the market continues to expand, challenges such as deforestation concerns, trade restrictions, and climate change impacts must be managed to ensure long-term sustainability. The shift toward certified and engineered wood products will likely shape the industry's future growth, with key players focusing on balancing economic and environmental priorities.
The timber industry is also benefiting from technological improvements that increase yield and efficiency. Precision forestry, AI-driven sawmills, and improved adhesives for engineered wood products are helping maximize wood utilization while reducing waste. These innovations enable companies to meet growing demand more sustainably.
Beyond traditional uses, wood and timber are also gaining traction in bioenergy and biomaterials. Wood pellets and biomass energy are being adopted as alternatives to fossil fuels in Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. Meanwhile, wood-derived chemicals, textiles (such as lyocell and viscose), and bio-based plastics are finding new applications, expanding the overall demand for timber resources.
The shift towards sustainable and biodegradable materials is increasing the demand for paper-based packaging solutions. With many governments and corporations pushing for eco-friendly alternatives to plastic, wood-derived products such as kraft paper, cardboard, and linerless labels are gaining traction. The direct thermal paper industry, for example, relies heavily on wood pulp, and growing logistics, e-commerce, and food packaging sectors are further driving its expansion.
