Opportunities for structural engineered wood products In a very short time laminated veneer lumber (LVL), strand lumber (LSL), and I-beams, have developed a strong presence in the United States, where LVL, LSL and I-beams represent 35% of the material used for floor bearers and joists. Similarly, glue laminated beams (glulam) has developed a strong presence in Japan, where it represents over 60% of the materials used in posts and beams of traditional Japanese housing. These levels of market penetration in the United States and Japan have not yet been matched in any other country, which suggests that there is considerable scope for market expansion. The increasing acceptance of structural engineered wood products for use in heavy structural building applications such as floor bearers, floor joists, headers and beams, is driving demand and leading to an expansion of investment and trade in these products in the United States, Japan and recently in other regions. The rapid growth in consumption is also driving new product development.
In this environment it is important that producers, potential investors, users and distributors are aware of changing market conditions, market cost structures and competitor activity.
Report Objectives
This study aims to determine current and future trends in consumption, production, trade and prices of LVL, LSL, glulam and Ibeams in each of the main producing and consuming countries. The report will:
