Segment Analysis

Building & Construction segment is expected to remain the growth engine of the market during the forecast period. Recovering North American housing starts, high residential activities in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, and a focus on the use of green materials are likely to drive the market segment during the forecast period. Decking, siding, and fencing are the major applications of wood-plastic composites in the building & construction industry, together accounting for more than 90% of the wood-plastic composites market in the building & construction industry in 2021.

The automotive segment is expected to experience the highest growth over the next five years. The automakers’ push to build lightweight vehicles for achieving the government’s stringent regulations, such as CAFÉ standards and EU Carbon emissions, and demand for recycled materials are likely to drive the demand for WPC in the automotive industry. WPCs are mainly used in interior applications, such as rear shelves and trims for trunks and spare wheels, and interior trims for vehicle doors. The wood-plastic composite stakeholders are continuously working on the development of new wood-plastic composite applications in the automotive industry.

Polyethylene is expected to remain the largest resin type during the forecast period because of its overall higher performance than other resin-based wood-plastic composites.  Polyethylene is widely preferred for manufacturing decking, fencing, furniture, wall cladding, hollow boards, and profiles.

The extrusion process is expected to remain the most dominant process type in the market during the forecast period. Building & Construction, the largest end-user industry of the market is heavily relied on the extrusion process to manufacture key applications, such as decking, siding, and fencing. The injection molding process is likely to exhibit the fastest growth for the same period driven by the automotive and consumer goods segments. Wood-plastic composites are increasingly used to produce furniture, consumer goods, and household electronics using the injection molding process. WPC granulates for injection molding are now produced by global players and are becoming more attractive for clients that manufacture consumer goods, automotive, and other parts.

North America is expected to remain the largest market in terms of region, over the next five years. More than 60% of the WPC manufacturers are located in the North American region, serving primarily construction and consumer goods industries. Asia-Pacific is likely to witness the fastest growth rate during the same period driven by growing economies, mainly China and India. Europe is the largest market for the automotive industry.
