The global wood plastic composite market is expected
to reach USD 9.77 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View
Research, Inc. Increasing demand for wood plastic composites in construction
industry particularly in decking, fencing, and molding & siding
applications is expected to be the key driver for the market growth. Superior
mechanical strength, low maintenance and weight reduction offered by these
products are expected to propel demand in the construction industry over the
next eight years.
Rising
automakers focus towards making every automotive part biodegradable, and
recyclable is expected to open new avenues for the material over the next eight
years. The product is used in door panels, seat cushions, cabin linings,
backrests, and dashboards. The most commonly used wood species for commercial
wood plastic composite products include maple, oak, and pine. Product cost and
regional availability of raw material are expected to be a key factor for wood
plastic composites manufacturers over the projected period.
Rising
application scope for wood plastic composites for manufacturing various other
products including musical instruments, shoe soles, toys, and trays is expected
to have a positive impact on the market growth. Growing demand for bio-plastics
in niche applications such as household electronics and edge protection for
packaging is expected to propel demand over the projected period.
