The global wood plastic composites market size is expected to reach USD 15.41 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is attributed to the rising demand for the product as a replacement for plastics on account of their sustainable properties. Presently, a substantial number of consumers prefer WPC products as interior automotive components including showpieces, glove compartments, and sandwich boards.
Increasing wood plastic composites demand in the automotive industry is propelling the market growth over the forecast period. Increasing fuel prices have triggered the need for fuel-efficient vehicles. WPC products are most widely used as a replacement for plastics on account of their sustainable properties. Presently, a substantial number of consumers prefer WPC products as interior automotive components including showpieces, glove compartments, and sandwich boards.
The designing and manufacturing of wood plastic composite is remarkably like manufacturing of traditional plastics. There are some additional variables, though, that designers and manufacturers should be aware of when a material is being selected for manufacturing wood plastic composites. For manufacturers, understanding the effects of different tooling configurations on the wood-plastic composite manufacturing process will help ensure a smooth project from start to finish.
Moreover, regulations and standards significantly impact the wood plastic composites industry by ensuring product quality, safety, and environmental sustainability. Compliance with stringent environmental regulations encourages manufacturers to use recycled materials and adopt eco-friendly production processes. Standards related to mechanical properties, durability, and performance help maintain consistency and reliability in wood plastic composites products, boosting consumer confidence and market acceptance. Additionally, adherence to building codes and industry certifications enables wood plastic composites products to be used in a wider range of applications, further driving market growth.
However, emergence of natural ?ber composites as a substitute for wood plastic composites is expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period. Natural fiber composites are low-cost, lightweight, and environmentally superior alternatives to wood plastic composites.
