Growth Factors of Wood Plastic Composite Market
The wood plastic composite market size was valued at USD 4.77 billion in 2019, and the market is now projected to grow USD 9.03 billion in 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.57% during the forecast period of 2020-2032.
The wood plastic composite market analysis has identified that the COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in supply chain and manufacturing of the wood plastic composite. Nonetheless, a higher market for home improvement and the products associated with outdoor living during the lockdowns supported the wood plastic composite decking and other applicative segments. When others shifted architectural accomplishment to improving homes, wood plastic composite became popular for durability, low maintenance, and sustainability. Market is expected to gather growth post pandemic once construction work along with renovation projects regain pace.
Wood plastic composite is becoming increasingly important to the building and construction industry because of the combination of aesthetic properties of wood and durability of plastic. wood plastic composite has better characteristics that include; It is immune to weather conditions; It has flexibility features It has ease in maintenance and can be used in construction of bridges, roofs as well as garden products. This material is long-lasting, easy to maintain, and can tremendously avoid fading or warping making its demand to be higher. For this reason, the construction segment is likely to fuel market growth in the future due to its high demand.
Wood plastic composite is having more versatile application hence they are gaining acceptance in the market since they can replace many products from decks, doors, vehicle interiors and furniture among others. Since they are relatively easy to manufacture and can be used with existing plastic processing equipment, they are a steadily expanding segment of plastic additives. By providing greater length of service, better sustainability, and expense reductions, WPCs are embraced in numerous consumer segments. WPCs will then continue to adapt with future product development challenges as innovations come up with new applications.
