The global mass timber market is projected to grow from $1.5 billion in 2020 to $3.7 billion by 2032, driven by sustainable construction trends in the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. 

Mass timber ecosystems combine sustainable forestry, advanced manufacturing, and innovative construction to create local value chains, benefiting economies, the environment, and regional industries. 

Key advantages include cost savings, carbon sequestration, job creation, sustainable forestry, and reduced reliance on international supply chains.

Regions like Bhutan, East Africa, Boston, and Detroit are fostering hyperlocal mass timber markets, with Detroit spearheading research and manufacturing initiatives. The Great Lakes region holds untapped potential to lead in this sustainable construction sector.
