By: Sunil Nair Decking to become largest market by 2011 Among the major product categories window and door applications for woodplastic composites are anticipated to post the most rapid gains through 2011 (albeit from a small base). As with other applications, wood-plastic composite window and door components are making inroads because of their lower maintenance requirements, durability in exterior applications and similarities to wood. Decking applications are projected to see strong gains through 2011, continuing to increase its relative share of the composite and plastic lumber industry. By 2011, decking will be the largest end use for these alterantive building materials, accounting for 44 percent of demand. Molding and trim will remain a key market for composite and plastic lumber, but will exhibit below-average growth through 2011. Increasing market maturity in the plastic lumber segment will limit growth, as will a weak new housing environment going forward. Fencing applications will see below-average gains through 2011, due to increasing market maturity in the plastic lumber segment. All other applications are projected to see rapid growth over the forecast period from small bases. Playground equipment and site and leisure furniture applications are expected to register strong gains through 2011, driven by the environmentally friendly profile of composite and plastic lumber, as well as their performance and maintenance characteristics. US industry highly fragmented The US wood-plastic composite and plastic lumber industry is highly fragmented, consisting of hundreds of companies ranging from small, regional producers to large, national concerns. Manufacturers typically specialize in one type of material, although some companies offer both composite and plastic lumber. In 2006, the leading composite and plastic lumber firms were Louisiana- Pacific, Royal Group Technologies, Tapco International and Trex. Study coverage Composite & Plastic Lumber is a new Freedonia industry study priced at $4500. It presents historical demand data (1996, 2001 and 2006) plus forecasts for 2011 and 2016 by material, application and market. This study also considers US market environment factors, evaluates market share and profiles 33 competitors.
