1 Timber Industry Eng Future is Built with Wood

Описание: he global construction sector is being forced to transform in response to Net Zero 2050, and wood is increasingly recognised not merely as a material trend, but as a solution grounded in science, engineering and measurable performance.

This video provides an overview of the timber industry and wood construction, from the global context to the situation in Vietnam. From a technical perspective, multi-layer engineered wood products offer consistent material properties, predictable structural behaviour and performance comparable to concrete and steel, while providing advantages in self-weight, thermal performance and structural response.

A key topic explored in the video is the carbon mechanism of wood across its life cycle. Carbon absorbed during tree growth continues to be stored within wood products such as structural elements, floors and wall systems for decades. When assessed across the entire value chain — from forestry and manufacturing to use and end-of-life — wood construction shows clear potential climate benefits compared to steel and concrete.

In the Vietnamese context, the timber sector already has a strong foundation in terms of resources, production capacity and workforce. The question is no longer whether wood construction should be developed, but whether Vietnam can build sufficient technical capacity, reliable data and a supportive ecosystem to move into higher-value segments.

The core message of this video is:

Wood construction is not only about material substitution, but about upgrading industry capability and redefining Vietnam’s position in the sustainable construction value chain.
