The growing level of renovation and home repair activities is expected to drive the expansion of the wooden decking market in the coming years. Renovations and home repairs involve modifications, upgrades, or restorations undertaken in residential properties to improve functionality or visual appeal. The rise in renovation and repair activities is mainly fueled by increasing homeownership rates, as property owners are more inclined to invest in maintaining and enhancing their homes to improve comfort, usability, and long-term value. Renovation and home repair projects stimulate demand for wooden decking, as homeowners frequently look to enhance outdoor areas with durable and visually attractive materials that increase property value and improve outdoor living spaces. For instance, in November 2025, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), a US-based organization representing the housing industry, private residential construction spending increased by 0.8% in August, continuing the upward trend seen since June 2025, largely driven by higher investments in multifamily developments and home renovation activities. Therefore, the rising level of renovation and home repair activities is contributing to the growth of the wooden decking market.

Major companies operating in the wooden decking market are focusing on developing innovative building materials such as thermally modified wood to increase durability, improve weather resistance, and offer eco-friendly alternatives to treated lumber. Thermally modified wood is natural wood that has been heated at high temperatures in a controlled, oxygen-free environment to improve its durability and stability without using chemicals. This process makes the wood more resistant to moisture, rot, insects, and warping, making it ideal for outdoor applications such as decking, siding, and railing. For instance, in June 2024, Spartan Forest Products Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, launched ThermaPro Wood, a new portfolio of thermally modified, prefinished building materials designed for commercial and residential use. The product line includes weather-resistant decking, siding, and rainscreen components that are pre-sealed and ready to install, offering a sustainable and chemical-free alternative to traditional treated wood. The prefinished decking in the thermapro wood line is specifically engineered for outdoor durability, making it ideal for use in decks, porches, pool surrounds, balconies, and walkways, while enhancing natural wood aesthetics with minimal maintenance.

In June 2024, Arbor Wood Co. LLC, a US-based manufacturing company that specializes in providing thermally modified wood decking, partnered with SaferWood LLC to launch a new line of ignition-resistant, Class A fire-retardant treated wood siding and decking. With this partnership, Arbor Wood Co. LLC and SaferWood LLC aim to combine arbor wood’s thermal modification expertise with saferwood’s thermex-FR fire-retardant treatment to deliver durable, aesthetically appealing, and fire-safe wood solutions compliant with international and California building codes. SaferWood LLC is a US-based company specializing in exterior fire-retardant wood treatments for use in residential and commercial applications.
