Executive Summary
Summary:
The global market for wood-plastic composites (WPCs) is expected to grow from $4.7 billion in 2024 to $6.9 billion by the end of 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1% from 2024 through 2029.
WPCs are known as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional composites. To combat the rise in carbon emissions, governments are enacting strict regulations against traditional composites, polymer production and consumption. This has led producers of traditional composites to enter the WPC market.
The growing green infrastructure activities and furniture industry further drive the WPC market in the global economy. The rising number of greenfield projects and increasing investment in decking, fencing, and landscaping and outdoor products further increase demand for renewable raw materials and WPCs.
