Wood-plastic Composites Market by Type (Polyethylene, Polyvinylchloride, propylene), Application (Building & construction Products, Automotive Components, Industrial & Consumer Goods), & Region (North America, Europe, APAC, MEA) - Global Forecast to 2028
The wood-plastic composites market is projected to grow from USD 7.5 billion in 2023 to USD 11.9 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period. Polypropylene with higher MFR fills the plastic mold more easily, during the injection or blow-molding production process. However, as the melt flow increases, some physical properties, such as impact strength, decrease. Polyethylene is classified into several different categories based mostly on density and branching. The mechanical properties of polypropylene depend significantly on variables, such as the extent and type of branching, the crystal structure, and the molecular weight.
‘‘In terms of value, automotive components application accounted for the second-largest share of the overall wood-plastic composites market.’’
Increasing awareness about environment-friendly products is boosting the demand of wood-plastic composites from automotive industry. Automobile manufacturers are focusing on the production of biodegradable or recyclable components. Recyclable wood-plastic composites help to enhance the mechanical strength and reduces the material weight that helps to improve fuel consumption and production cost of the automobiles. Wood-plastic composites gets widely used to manufacture interior parts as they helps to improve passenger safety along with biodegradability of the components.
