Composite Decking and Railing Market Expected to Reach $9.2 Billion by 2030

According to a recent report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Composite Decking And Railing market by Type, Application, Resin Type, Composite, Product Type, and Region: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030,”

The composite decking and railing market size was valued at $2.6 billion in 2020, and is expected to reach $9.2 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 12.6% from 2021 to 2030. Decking & railing is the process of installation of flooring and safety rails, generally outside the house, using materials, such as polypropylene and polyethylene, to enhance the beauty of buildings.

The composite decking and railing is driven by factors such as increase in trend for beautification of buildings and rise in spending capacity of people and living a luxurious life. In addition, advancement in material has led to use of strong and durable materials to build the decks and railing. However, harsh weather, such as high heat and storm, can loosen the integrity of the composite material as well as the frame it is installed on, which, in turn, fails to last long and breaks earlier. This acts as a restraining factor for the growth of the composite decking and railing. Moreover, outbreak of the COVID-19 has led to a halt in logistics and manufacturing activities across the globe, which, in turn, led to interruption of supply chain, thereby hindering the composite decking and railing market growth. However, this situation is expected to improve as governments have started relaxing norms around the world for resuming business activities.

Furthermore, emerging countries in Asia-Pacific and LAMEA such as Brazil, India, China, and others are rapidly urbanizing and a lot of new construction is being carried out. Moreover, the spending capacity on beautification of buildings is gradually rising in these countries. This acts as an opportunity for the growth of composite decking and railing market share during the forecast period.
