Product Definition:
Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made of wood fiber/wood flour and thermoplastic(s) In this type of decking, the plastic may be virgin or recycled.
Base Resin PE:
Base resin PE is a thermosetting polymer, which contains an amorphous and semi-crystalline core embedded with a network of cross-linked polyethylene fibers. It is produced by the reaction of ethylene and propylene in the presence of catalysts or heat. The product has high tensile strength, flexural modulus, low water absorption and good abrasion resistance.
Base Resin PVC:
Base resin PVC is a thermoplastic elastomer, which contains polyvinyl chloride as a main component. It has high flexibility and softness, low heat distortion temperature and good surface gloss. These properties make it suitable for use in wood plastic composites (WPCs). WPCs are used in various end-use industries such as construction, furniture & flooring, automotive interiors & exteriors and packaging.
Application Insights:
Based on application, the global market is segmented into outdoor deck floors, railings, fences, landscaping timbers, cladding & siding park benches molding & trim window and flooring indoor furniture others. The outdoor deck floors segment dominated the overall market in terms of revenue share in 2017. Wood plastic composites are increasingly being utilized for manufacturing decks as they offer superior strength and durability at a lower cost when compared to conventional wood products.
The product is also eco-friendly as it reduces the consumption of raw materials by 50%. Furthermore, increasing awareness among consumers regarding sustainable building materials has resulted in a surge in demand for WPCs-based outdoor decks which will further fuel growth over the forecast period.
The railings and fencing segment followed closely behind with a significant revenue share of 24%in 2017 due to high product demand from Europe where both wooden privacy fences.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to witness moderate growth over the forecast period owing to stringent government regulations regarding wood usage coupled with rising consumer awareness regarding environment protection. Europe accounted for a significant share of global revenue in 2017, on account of rapid urbanization and increasing construction activities due to growing population.
Asia Pacific is projected to be one of the fastest-growing regional markets from 2018 to 2030 owing to high product demand from residential applications in emerging economies such as China and India. In addition, rising disposable income levels among consumers are anticipated boost product demand further driving industry growth across this region at a CAGR exceeding 6% during the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from construction and automotive industries: The global construction industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2016 to 2020, while the global automotive industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the same period. This will result in an increase in demand for WPCs from these industries, as they offer several advantages over traditional materials such as metal and plastic.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of WPCs: The benefits offered by WPCs such as durability, low maintenance requirements, and environmental friendliness are increasingly being recognized by consumers worldwide. This is resulting in an increase in demand for WPC products across various applications segments.
- Technological advancements: The development of new technologies that can improve the properties of WPCs is aiding their growth prospects globally. For instance, recent advancements have led to the introduction of wood-plastic composites that are resistant to fire and insects, which has opened up new opportunities for this market segment .
