Timber Frames Market

Global Timber Frames Market: Overview

Wooden houses or timber frame houses have always drawn the attention of people, thanks to the comparatively low cost and highly aesthetic appearance of such houses. This factor is estimated to foster growth of the global timber frames market over the tenure of assessment, from 2020 to 2030. Traditional cement and brick buildings are usually more costly. However, the demand for timber frame is usually concentrated in certain parts of Europe and North America. Laminations and treatments of various types of wood have been able to prolong the life of timber frames. These treatments also enhance the durability of the frames of timber against rough weather conditions and any kind of physical impact. Popularity of timber frames is dependent on the condition of the weather, cost of land, and availability of timber logs and treated timber logs. These factors are estimated to foster development of the global timber frames market over the forecast timeframe, from 2020 to 2030.

The global timber frames market has been segmented on the basis of three important parameters, which are product type, distribution channel, and region.

Global Timber Frames Market: Notable Developments

The global timber frames market is a consolidated one with the presence of few leading manufacturers across the globe. However, the industry players are involved with continuous research and development activities so as to come up with novel innovations in the field.

Some of the leading companies in the global timber frames market include the following:

Global Timber Frames Market: Key Trends

The global timber frames market is characterized by the prevalence of the following challenges, market drivers, and promising opportunities.

Cost Effectiveness and Ability to Prevent Accumulation of Snow on Rooftop to Bolster Demand

The growth of the global timber frames market is estimated to be driven by the high demand for the product from territories that are characterized by heavy snowfall. The slope of the terrace of buildings with timber frames is able to lessen the accumulation of rice on the rooftop. In addition to that, wood is considered a good insulator of temperature, which keeps the temperature of such buildings comparatively higher than normal thereby keeping it comfortable and cozy inside. This factor is likely to propel growth of the global timber frames market over the timeframe of assessment, from 2020 to 2030.

Countries like Japan, New Zealand are extremely prone to earthquakes, which causes immense destruction and damage to brick and cement buildings as compared to buildings with timber frames. Timber frame buildings utilize much lesser amount of capital and it takes much lesser time to construct the same, which is estimated to foster growth of the global timber frames market in the years to come. However, increasing concern for deforestation and strict government norms regarding the cutting of woods is expected to pose challenges to the global timber frames market over the timeframe of prognosis, from 2020 to 2030. 

Global Timber Frames Market: Geographical Analysis

In the global timber frames market, it is estimated that North America is expected to observe considerable growth over the timeframe of analysis, from 2020 to 2030. Such growth of the market in North America is ascribed to the presence of several leading market players in the region. In addition, presence of large forest land is likely to come up as another important growth factor for the regional market. Europe is estimated to be another important region with the availability of substantial amount of timber in the region.
