Sustainability is the Latest Trend in the WPC Decking Market

WPC decking is usually made up of recycled wood fibers coupled with thermoplastics. Hence it aligns with the growing need for a sustainable building material. They are easy to install and remove and can be easily recycled and used again. This creates less wastage and carbon footprint. It is also an eco-friendly alternative to the traditional wood or plastic building material. Hence sustainability of WPC decking is the latest trend in the market.

GLOBAL CRISIS IMPACTING THE WOOD PLASTIC COMPOSITE (WPC) DECKING MARKET

US TARIFF IMPACT

The imposition of tariff on the WPC decking industry results in the increase in the cost for the consumer. As the cost of the raw materials or components needed for making WPC decking increases it leads to an increase in the cost of the end product to the users. Tariff also affects the construction, automotive and other industries that might use WPC decking as a raw material. This in turn will affect the growth of these industries. If the tariff prolongs manufacturers might also seek alternate materials as substitutes which then will result in the decline of the WPC decking market.
