The Global Wood Plastic Composites Market size is expected to reach $12.5 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 9.6% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 4,332.8 kilo tonnes, experiencing a growth of 7.1% (2019-2022).
The North American region experienced a resurgence in construction and building activities, particularly in residential and commercial sectors, following the economic recovery post-recession. Therefore, the North America segment captured $2,323.0 million revenue in the market in 2022. WPCs found extensive application in decking, railing, fencing, and other outdoor structures, as they offered durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal, catering to the demand for high-performance materials in construction projects. Also, the Mexico market would consume 266.3 killo tonnes in the market in 2030.
WPCs exhibit high durability, allowing them to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including moisture, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations. Unlike natural wood, which is susceptible to fungal decay and insect infestation, WPCs offer long-lasting protection against these common threats, ensuring structural integrity and longevity in outdoor applications. Thus, owing to these factors, there will be increased demand for wood plastic composites in the coming years.
Additionally, Rapid urbanization and population growth in developed and emerging economies have increased demand for residential, commercial, and industrial construction. As per the Agencia de Noticias of the Government of Brazil 2021, the construction sector generated R$377.8 billion in value in 2021, with R$355.8 billion in works and/or services and R$22.0 billion in developments, works, and/or services (5.8%). Hence, owing to these factors, there will be enhanced demand for wood plastic composites.
However, fluctuations in the availability and pricing of raw materials directly impact WPC manufacturers' production costs and profitability. Rising raw material costs can inflate production expenses, squeezing profit margins and reducing overall profitability. Conversely, periods of raw material shortages or price spikes may force manufacturers to absorb higher costs or pass them on to consumers through price adjustments, potentially affecting market competitiveness and demand for WPC products.
