[198 Pages Report] The Wood Plastic Composites Market size was estimated at USD 6.30 billion in 2022 and expected to reach USD 7.17 billion in 2023, at a CAGR 14.21% to reach USD 18.25 billion by 2030.
Wood-plastic composites (WPC) are materials that integrate wood fibers or wood flour with thermoplastics, including polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, or other plastics. They can contain additives such as colorants, coupling agents, stabilizers, blowing agents, reinforcing fibers, or foaming agents. The WPCs encompass various applications due to their advantageous properties, such as low maintenance requirements, durability, and resistance to rot, decay, and marine borer attacks. The rising demand for sustainable and low-maintenance building products, the expanding global construction sector, and technological advancements in composite manufacturing increase WPCs adoption. However, issues related to mechanical strength and the weight of WPC products for certain applications pose significant challenges. Nevertheless, the development of more eco-friendly resins and bio-based polymers, improvement in the material’s strength-to-weight ratio, and advancements in composite processing methods are expected to create potential market growth opportunities.
