WPC Explained:

Governments across the world are trying to minimize the use of wood so as to safeguard the environment and ecology from further degradation. And the WPC-based solutions perfectly fit the billing as they can be the perfect replacement for the woods. And if the global market growth measured in the last four decades is to be considered then the WPCs can be the appropriate alternative to the woods in near future.
According to a recent study by a leading market research firm Mordor Intelligence, the global WPCs market is likely to register a Compound Average Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5 per cent on a year-on-year basis from 2022 to 2027. And the Building & Construction sectors are going to be the biggest market for WPCs. In another study by Allied Market Research, the global WPCs market is set to register a CAGR of over 12 per cent. The overall market value was estimated at $2,551 million in 2016 and is likely to hit $6,584 million by 2023.
The WPC is a wood and polymer composite composed of a major chunk of green virgin polymer granules mixed with wooden or saw-dust. The composites are so formed and offer higher flexibility to the material with respect to shape, colour and texture. Furthermore, a reduction in the need of a higher amount of material can be obtained through the engineering of special shapes. The ratio of wood, plastic, and additives in WPC depends on the manufacturing process and desired properties of the end product. The WPC commercial products are increasingly replacing several products in various structural applications, especially in the construction sector.
