Wood fibres and plastic resins are combined to create Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) flooring, a form of hybrid flooring material. Together, these elements produce a resilient and water-resistant flooring choice that mimics the look of hardwood floors while offering improved sustainability and durability. WPC flooring is a flexible option for both home and commercial applications since it comes in a variety of designs, colours, and finishes. When compared to traditional flooring choices, WPC flooring is more aesthetically pleasing and requires less installation and upkeep.
Global Wood Plastic Composite Flooring Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Driving Factors: The market for wood-plastic composite (WPC) flooring is expanding as a result of various causes. The need for environmentally friendly materials has surged due to the global emphasis on sustainability, leading to the popularity of WPC flooring, which is made of recycled plastic and wood. The demand for contemporary flooring solutions is being created by the global construction boom, which is being driven by fast urbanisation and infrastructure development. Lastly, WPC flooring's natural longevity and resilience make it perfect for high-traffic areas in both residential and commercial settings, enhancing its standing as a worthwhile choice in the market.
Challenges: The sales of wood plastic composite floors are being impacted by government limitations on emissions related to health and environmental implications from the production of wood plastic composite sheets and other products. Furthermore, wood-plastic composite flooring is more susceptible to deformation and abrasion damage from heavy loads or impacts. Proper installation techniques, extended exposure to heat, ultraviolet light, moisture, and additional elements can cause damage to wood plastic composite flooring or WPC decking. The efficiency and longevity of wood-plastic composite flooring are all called into question by all of these issues.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Wood Plastic Composite Flooring Market
Global building operations have been abruptly stopped as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, which quickly evolved into a pandemic of never-before-seen proportions. Like many other applications that depend on infrastructure development, the market for WPC flooring has experienced a sharp downturn. As a result, among other risks posed by the pandemic, the market's expansion is being negatively impacted by a shortage of labour, disruptions in the supply chain, and the unavailability of raw materials.
