The growth anticipated in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing use of wooden materials in landscaping, rising demand for upscale outdoor amenities, expanded use of wood in commercial construction, growth in residential infrastructure projects, and heightened awareness of sustainable wood products. Key trends during this period include advancements in pressure-treated wood technologies, progress in sustainable forestry practices, innovations in wood-plastic composite decking, improvements in fire-resistant wood coatings, and development of weather-resistant wooden materials.

The rise in renovations and house repair activities is expected to drive growth in the wooden decking market. Renovations and repairs involve upgrading or restoring residential homes for better functionality or aesthetics. This surge is mainly due to increasing homeownership, where owners invest in enhancing their properties to boost comfort, usability, and long-term value. Such activities fuel demand for wooden decking, as homeowners often seek durable, attractive outdoor materials that elevate property appeal and expand living spaces. For example, in 2023, Houzz Inc. reported that median spending on kitchens and primary bathrooms increased by 33% and 50% respectively in 2022 compared to 2021, reaching $20,000 and $13,500. Therefore, the growth in home renovations is propelling the wooden decking market.

Leading companies in the wooden decking market are innovating with materials such as thermally modified wood, which enhances durability and weather resistance while providing an eco-friendly option compared to chemically treated lumber. Thermally modified wood undergoes high-temperature treatment in oxygen-free conditions, improving resistance to moisture, rot, insects, and warping - ideal for outdoor decking, siding, and railing. For instance, in June 2024, Spartan Forest Products Inc. introduced ThermaPro Wood, a portfolio of prefinished, weather-resistant decking and siding products designed for commercial and residential applications. These products offer sustainable, chemical-free durability with minimal maintenance, enhancing natural wood aesthetics.

In June 2024, Arbor Wood Co. LLC partnered with SaferWood LLC to launch a line of Class A fire-retardant, ignition-resistant wood decking and siding. Combining Arbor Wood’s thermal modification expertise with SaferWood’s Thermex-FR fire-retardant treatments, the products provide durable, attractive, and fire-safe wood solutions that meet international and California building codes. SaferWood LLC specializes in exterior fire-retardant wood treatments for residential and commercial uses, enhancing safety without compromising appearance.

The quick escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting strain in trade relations in spring 2025 are considerably influencing the Paper, Plastics, Rubber, Wood And Textile sector by inflating costs for imported pulp, resin, synthetic rubber, lumber, and cotton key inputs with limited domestic substitutes. Packaging manufacturers, for example, now pay more for plastic films and corrugated materials, squeezing margins in an already price-sensitive market. Textile producers face similar challenges, as tariffs on imported yarns and dyes compound pressures from rising labor costs. Some firms are shifting to recycled materials or biodegradable alternatives, while others consolidate suppliers to negotiate bulk discounts.
