Abstract
This research is a continuation of a long-term effort of systematically monitoring developments in the global CLT industry launched by the PI in 2011 and since 2017 partially funded by an ARS/TDI grant.
Introduction/Background
To date, we have created and populated a unique database covering more than 116 manufacturing plants (including more than 60 CLT lines) across the globe. The database includes information on MTP manufacturers within and outside the MTP industry cluster, including changes in production capacity and dominant technologies in global MTP production; key success factors and constraints determining the emergence and growth of production; differences in perception of opportunities, risks, challenges and constraints; related business models, strategies, contextual policies, and; the role of innovation systems.
