Plastic Decking Market Report 2025

The plastic decking market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.86 billion in 2024 to $6.5 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing popularity of outdoor living spaces, greater adoption in commercial applications, a surge in renovation and remodeling projects, enhanced availability of advanced composite materials, and improved cost-effectiveness compared to traditional wood.

The plastic decking market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.74 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing focus on sustainable construction practices, rising urbanization and housing developments, growing investments in infrastructure projects, increasing demand for aesthetically appealing outdoor solutions, and ongoing innovations in recyclable plastic materials. Key trends during this period include advancements in co-extrusion technology, development of fire-resistant plastic decking, innovations in textured surface finishes, improvements in ultraviolet-resistant materials, and the introduction of customizable color and design options.

The growth in residential construction is expected to drive the expansion of the plastic decking market. Residential construction involves building and developing housing units such as single-family homes, apartments, and condominiums. This sector is growing due to increasing urban populations, which heighten housing demand and push the expansion of residential infrastructure to meet shelter needs. Plastic decking supports this growth by offering a durable, low-maintenance solution that withstands harsh weather conditions. It resists rot, pests, and fading, making it ideal for outdoor spaces. For example, in June 2024, the United States Census Bureau reported that privately owned housing completions in May reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,514,000, marking a 1% increase from 1,499,000 in May 2023. Therefore, the rise in residential construction is fueling the growth of the plastic decking market.

Leading companies in the plastic decking market are leveraging innovative technologies such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to enhance visual appeal, durability, and reduce environmental impact. PMMA is an advanced thermoplastic known for its high clarity, strength, and resistance to UV light, weathering, and impact. For instance, in May 2025, UK-based Talasey Ltd. launched Pioneer, a next-generation high-definition composite decking range utilizing PMMA technology adapted from high-performance sectors such as aerospace. The Pioneer range features 4K high-definition wood imaging that replicates natural wood grains and textures with ultra-precision for a realistic hardwood look. Besides its visual appeal, the product offers benefits such as high durability, slip resistance, low maintenance, and quick installation.

In March 2025, US-based James Hardie Industries plc acquired The AZEK Company Inc. for $14 billion. This acquisition aims to create a one-stop shop for exterior and outdoor living products by combining AZEK’s expertise in timber-composite decking and railing with James Hardie’s leadership in fiber cement cladding and trim. The integration is expected to accelerate above-market growth and improve customer offerings in the North American construction industry. The AZEK Company Inc. specializes in plastic decking products.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

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.

Plastic decking consists of outdoor flooring boards made entirely from synthetic materials designed to resist moisture, fading, and insect damage. It provides a low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood decking, offering long-lasting durability and a consistent appearance over time.

The primary types of plastic decking are capped composite and uncapped composite. Capped composite decking features a protective polymer shell (cap) bonded to the core, enhancing durability, moisture resistance, and fade protection. Common resin materials used include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and polyethylene. These decking products are widely applied in both residential and non-residential environments and cater to various end-use sectors such as building and construction, marine, industrial, and others.
