Opportunity:
Emerging technologies for wood preservation
The major market players are laying constant efforts to develop the new chemicals such as borates, ACQ, copper naphthenate, copper azole, copper-HDO (Bis-(Ncyclohexyldiazeniumdioxy-copper)) and polymeric betaine which will be in compliance with the rules and regulations of environmental agencies and which will be more effective for the wood preservations. New products such as micronized copper azoles and other water-based products are coming into the market which presents growth opportunities in the market.
Threat:
Creating awareness about the advantages of wood preservatives in developing markets
For wood preservatives consumption the African and Asian countries have a great potential. The huge populations in these provinces provide ample opportunities to cater to the demand for the market. The amount of wood used in the emerging countries is high, but the use of wood preservatives is comparatively lower. Therefore, the awareness about the benefits of wood preservatives is necessary in these provinces. The increase in such awareness is the primary challenge for the market players in these provinces.
