Coverage: (Product/service)
Non-Residential Wooden Construction and Non-Residential Construction Markets
Research Target:
Leading developers, general contractors home builders, construction method/technique and component suppliers, as well as lumber and wood-based structural materials manufacturers
Research Content:
This report surveys the non-residential wooden construction market, which is transitioning from an emerging phase to a more widespread one. The report analyzes the market by construction objective, scale, structure, and player category.
The Act on Promotion of Use and Distribution of Legally Harvested Wood and Wood Products, effective since October 2021, has expanded the promotion of wood from public structures to overall construction, including private structures. Additionally, decarbonization and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives have increased interest in wooden construction and renovation with wooden interiors.
The report provides insight into future and growth areas. It also covers the business strategies, technological developments, and order and supply statuses of major players in the medium-sized non-residential wooden construction market, including developers, general contractors, home builders, construction method/technique and component suppliers, and lumber and wood-based structural materials manufacturers.
