Composite Decking and Railing Market Report 2025

The composite decking and railing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.89 billion in 2024 to $4.33 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing consumer preference for low-maintenance outdoor solutions, a rise in residential remodeling and renovation activities, heightened environmental awareness and demand for sustainable materials, expansion in urbanization and suburban housing developments, and greater adoption by professional contractors and builders.

The composite decking and railing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.58 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The growth projected for the forecast period is driven by a growing focus on climate-resilient construction materials, increased investments in smart homes and outdoor living improvements, rising demand for aesthetically customizable and color-retaining materials, more green building certifications and sustainable construction standards, as well as the expanding DIY culture and availability through e-commerce. Key trends in the forecast period include a move toward multi-tonal and textured finishes, growth in capped composite technologies, integration of lighting and smart railing systems, a preference for modular and easy-to-install systems, and the development of bio-based composite materials.

The growing trend of home renovations is expected to drive the expansion of the composite decking and railing market. Home renovation involves upgrading, restoring, or improving a residential property by modifying its design, structure, or functionality to boost its comfort, appearance, or overall value. This increase in renovation activities is largely influenced by heightened interest in interior aesthetics, as more homeowners pursue personalized, visually appealing, and modern living spaces that reflect their tastes and improve comfort. Composite decking and railing contribute to home improvement by offering durable, low-maintenance, and attractive outdoor living solutions that enhance a property’s long-term value and contemporary appeal. For example, according to Houzz, a US-based software development platform, in 2022, approximately 28% of homeowners upgraded kitchens and 25% renovated bathrooms, slightly up from 27% and 24%, respectively, in 2021. Consequently, the surge in home renovation is contributing to the growth of the composite decking and railing market.

Leading companies in the composite decking and railing market are emphasizing the development of innovative products, such as modular decking tiles, to simplify installation and improve durability in modern outdoor spaces. Modular decking tiles are preassembled, interlocking units designed for quick and easy installation on surfaces such as gravel, concrete, or existing decks. For instance, in February 2024, MoistureShield, a US-based composite decking manufacturer, introduced InstaDeck, along with two new railing systems: Fathom Steel Railing and Navigator Composite Railing. InstaDeck is a lightweight, durable decking tile system crafted from high-strength composite material with integrated interlocking edges for efficient DIY installation on surfaces such as balconies or patios. It offers resistance to moisture, fading, and warping, making it suitable for both residential and commercial outdoor use. The Fathom steel railing blends modern aesthetics with powder-coated steel durability, while Navigator provides a classic wood-look finish with minimal maintenance needs. These product innovations enhance the style, safety, and ease of installation in outdoor projects.

In July 2022, Oldcastle APG, a US-based provider of building materials, acquired Barrette Outdoor Living for $1.9 billion. This acquisition is intended to expand Oldcastle APG’s portfolio of outdoor living solutions and reinforce its standing as a key supplier of integrated building materials across North America. Barrette Outdoor Living Inc., also based in the US, manufactures and supplies composite decking and railing 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 rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

Composite decking and railing are outdoor building materials made from a blend of wood fibers and plastic, created to provide a durable, low-maintenance substitute for traditional wood. These materials resist rot, splintering, fading, and insect damage, making them well-suited for long-lasting outdoor use.

The primary categories of composite decking and railing are capped composites and uncapped composites. Capped composites are composite decking products with a tough, protective polymer layer (cap) attached to the core, offering improved resistance to moisture, fading, staining, and scratches. The product lineup includes decking boards, railing systems, fencing panels, and related accessories. These products are utilized in both residential and commercial settings and are sold through multiple channels, including direct sales, wholesale distributors, online stores, and specialty retailers. They cater to a diverse group of end users such as contractors, homeowners, architects, and landscapers.
