Market Overview

The wood plastic composite is a composite material composed of thermoplastic polymer matrix and wood-based fibers or particles, i.e, wood flour, sawdust, or other lignocellulosic byproducts. Wood-plastic composites are being used with increasing frequency to produce glass windows and roofing. Their longevity has made wood-plastic composites a favored material in developing countries when compared to traditional wood for roofing applications. Large-scale projects in the production of smart, sustainable cities are being supported by many of the world's largest IT brands, including Microsoft, Cisco, and IBM. The anticipated total investment in these cities, over the next two years, after accounting for other projects doing similar work, is USD 135.00 trillion. Additionally, various global megaprojects, including Masdar City and Hudson Yards, are providing opportunities for interior builders that can drive demand for wood-plastic composites into the near future, for further potential growth. Companies in the industry are acquiring one another as a means of gaining market share in the wood-plastic composite market. In May 2022, UFP Industries, Inc. announced it would purchase Cedar Poly LLC for the price of USD 17 million. UFP Industries, Inc. would vertically integrate its sourcing of raw materials, specifically recycled polymers, while enabling a shift towards greater use of post-industrial waste inputs with no compromise to the quality of products produced.

Governments are boosting demand for wood-plastic composites by enacting more incentives and regulatory frameworks to encourage sustainable and circular materials. The Circular Economy Action Plan, the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, and the plastics strategy are some of the EU initiatives that promote better product lifecycle design, more recycled material, and less usage of virgin plastics.

Driving factors

The wood plastic composite market is driven by the rising global expectations for sustainable and smart cities. WPCs meet the current circular economy and green construction requirements necessary for many large-scale restoration projects, given their low maintenance and recyclability. Based on 2023 city procurement documents, the Trex Transcend WPC decking is suggested as a park improvement in Vancouver, Canada, due to its 25-year residential guarantee and 95% post-consumer recycled plastic content. Alternatively, the National Parks Board's 2024 tender suggests using WPC benches and walkways will soon be installed in urban green areas of Singapore. It identifies the installation of composite benches with PVDF coatings that contain 80% recycled plastic and ground wood fiber, in addition to traditional wood-based and concrete options.

Restraining Factor

One of the main factors restraining the wood plastic composite market is the high upfront cost of WPCs, particularly in cost-sensitive markets and the low-income construction sector. At the point of sale, WPCs are typically priced 15–25% higher than traditional materials, such as softwood or virgin plastic.

Market Segmentation 

The global wood plastic composite market is divided into product and application.

Global Wood Plastic Composites Market, By Product:

• The polyethylene segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.  

Based on product, the global wood plastic composite market is segmented into polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylchloride, and others. Among these, the polyethylene segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The segment is driven by furniture for homes, offices, restaurants, holidays, and hospitals. Additionally, it is projected that the increased demand for polyethylene in the automotive sector, due to affordability, high rigidity, and biodegradability, will help fuel market growth in the coming years. The wood plastic composite products that are made of polyethylene have a low price, high rigidity, abundant raw materials, and biodegradability, which could provide cash for the growth of the market. 

The polypropylene segment in the wood plastic composite market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The growing market share can be attributed to the significant applications in specialty application areas such as high-temperature controlled wooden units and waterproof coatings for wooden furniture.
