Composite Decking and Railing Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report, by Type, Application, Resin Type, Composition and Product Type : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2030

The composite decking and railing market size was valued at $2,633.8 million in 2020, and is expected to reach $9,185.5 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 12.6% from 2021 to 2030. Decking is wooden boards that are fixed to the ground in a garden or other outdoor area for people to walk on. Railing is a guard rail to prevent people falling from decks of buildings. Over time, many different styles of decking and railing have been developed. Decking and railing are made of composite materials such as polypropylene and polyethylene. These composite deckings and railings are generally installed on the outdoors of residential and non-residential buildings.

Composite decking and railing offer covering and safety while serving the purpose of an embellishment for a home and business. Composite decking and railing are available in a variety of material, colors, designs, and patterns. They have been popular in the commercial sector where beautification of the outdoor space is required while adding a personal touch to the building backyard as well as the front. Moreover, PVC coated fabric composite deckings and railings are expected to be of a higher quality and pattern that have been introduced in the market to attract customers. These factors act as drivers of the composite decking and railing market.

However, composite decking and railing are unreliability in harsh weather conditions. Composite decking and railing can be vulnerable in heavy storm, rain, and snow and can suffer frame damage. This acts as a restraining factor to the composite decking and railing.

Furthermore, during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, construction, manufacturing, hotel, and tourism industries were majorly affected. Manufacturing activities were halted or restricted. Construction and transportation activities along with their supply chains were hampered on a global level. This led to decline in manufacturing of composite decking and railing as well as their demand in the market, which restrains the growth of the market. Conversely, industries are gradually resuming their regular manufacturing and services. This is expected to lead to re-initiation of composite decking and railing companies at their full-scale capacities, which is expected to help the composite decking and railing market to recover by end of 2021.

Furthermore, use of composite decking and railing and rapid urbanization in developing countries have given rise to construction activities. Growth in demand for construction & infrastructure developments is expected to largely drive the composite decking and railing market growth. Therefore, this is anticipated to open new avenues for the composite decking and railing during the forecast period.

The composite decking and railing market is segmented into type, application, resin type, composition, product type, and region. By type, the market is segregated into capped and uncapped. By application segment, it is divided into residential sector and non-residential sector. On the basis of resin type, the market is bifurcated into polypropylene and polyethylene.
