Abstract

US demand to post doubledigit gains through 2011

Demand for wood-plastic composite and plastic lumber is projected to advance about ten percent per year through 2011 to $5.4 billion. These alternative lumber materials are expected to continue to penetrate the building materials market at a rapid pace, particularly in decking applications. Composite and plastic lumber will continue to benefit from their performance characteristics, such as durability, weatherability, low maintenance requirements and low life cycle cost. Demand for composite and plastic lumber will also be driven by increasing consumer and contractor familiarity, a widening distribution network, and product improvements that enhance appearance. Furthermore, ongoing interest in "green" building products will bolster use of composite and plastic lumber made with recycled content.

Plastic lumber has found significant use in agricultural fencing and molding and trim applications. Solid growth in decking, fencing and other end uses such as site and leisure furniture will continue to support demand going forward. However, wood-plastic composite lumber will see much faster growth through 2011, posting gains of 14.3 percent annually to reach $2.6 billion. Composite lumber demand will be fueled by strong demand for the material in decking applications. In addition, rapid growth in windows and door applications, as well as smaller niche end uses (e.g., porches, site and leisure furniture) will support demand going forward.
