The size of the worldwide treated wood market was valued at $6.21 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow 6.7% annually to reach $9.78 billion by 2032, according to new report, “Global Treated Wood Market Outlook to 2032,” by Archive Market Research.
The treated wood market is growing due to the increased demand for durable, weather-resistant, and long-lasting wood products in construction, landscaping, and furniture manufacturing.
Treated wood is a term used to describe wood that has been chemically or thermally processed to enhance its resistance to decay, insects, fungi, and weathering. This makes it suitable for outdoor and high-moisture environments as well as for use in structural applications where durability is a major factor. The construction industry, especially for residential and commercial buildings, is one of the significant drivers for the treated wood market.
Treated wood is extensively used for decks, fences, landscaping, and exterior wood structures where exposure to the elements requires wood to be resistant to rot and pests. In addition to this, the increased market demand for sustainable and environmental-friendly building materials is adding more growth in the market because the products of treated wood are usually from renewable materials.
There is a rise in treated wood demand in furniture segments also due to their application to manufacture furniture and cabinetwork for outdoors that are withstanding water and temperature cyclic changes.
