Plastic Lumber & Wood-Plastic Composite Market

The collection of Construction Material market explore reports has a new addition of Wood- elastic Composite & Plastic Lumber to 2018 on Aromatherapies. Com. US petition to rise up more than% annually US demand for wood-plastic entangled and plastic baseball bat Is expected to Increase quartette billion pounds of plastic. A rebound In new hold completions from the low 2013 level and gains In residential Improvement and repair expenditures impart generate Increases In demand. Demand gains will also be wage hikeed by Increased market penetration In decking applications, the predominant use for composite and plastic tone.Decking to remain constitute application Decking applications will account for more than two-fifths of composite and plastic lumber demand by 2018. Homeowners will increasingly choose decks made from substitute(a) lumber because it has greater subway system to degradation by moisture, changes in humidity, insect attack, and time, and because it requires mini mal maintenance over its long service life. Ongoing changes to manufacturing technologies that will improve the color-fade resistance and the resemblance to natural wood, particularly expensive hardwoods much(prenominal) as pipe and redwood, will further boost composite and plastic decking demand.Further gains will result from efforts by manufacturers to increase the scope of decking accessories offered. Among other applications, molding and kept up(p) applications ar also expected to advance at a strong pace through 2018. Wood-plastic composite and plastic lumber use in molding and trim will benefit from renewed housing activity and performance characteristics such as resistance to moisture and ease of shaping that are blue-ribbon(prenominal) to those of lumber and engineered wood.

Wood-plastic composite lumber to surmount plastic Increases In overall construction act ually will support demand gains for both types of alternative lumber through 2018, barely wood-plastic composite demand will rise at a quick pace than demand for plastic lumber, albeit from a smaller base. As nearly two-thirds of composite and plastic lumber demand Is generated by the residential market, expansion in that market will boost composite lumber demand. In large, increasingly preferred to plastic lumber.Several factors will support its rapid growth. For instance, composite lumber includes celluloses fibers and is founder able to assemble the look and texture of traditional wood, an appealing trait to consumers looking for attractive but low maintenance decks. Furthermore, because composite lumber frequently is manufactured using recycled materials including consumable plastic such as grocery bags and stretch film, and wood scraps from mills and other lumber operations it is often marketed as an environmentally friendly building material.Company Profiles Profiles for US industry competitors such as Axial, CAP International, Fiber, Headwaters & steer Read more on Wood-plastic Composite & Plastic Lumber to 2018report below. Additional Information This accept examines the US market for two types of materials serving as alternatives to wood in construction composites of cellulose fiber and plastic referred to in the study as wood-plastic composite lumber or composites and plastic resins referred to as plastic lumber. some(prenominal) materials are manufactured using techniques primarily extrusion but also injection molding common land to the plastics industry. Applications for these materials covered in this study include decking, molding and trim, fencing, landscaping and outdoor products, windows, doors, and assorted applications such as spa cabinets, marine decks, and railroad ties.This study does not address applications for plastic lumber in which plastics (primarily vinyl) are not in competition with wood or in which they have alread y attained pregnant market share. Applications falling under these categories include plastic siding, extruded plastic windows and doors, plastic playground equipment not competing with traditional lumber, vinyl patio furniture, and vinyl flooring. Cellulose-resin products, such as plywood, starboard, and oriented strand board, are also excluded from demand considerations for composite lumber.
