Report: Decking and Railing Market to Grow Through 2017

Trend to Higher Priced Composites Widens the Price Spread Compared to Lumber
The middle of the overall decking materials market is not growing, leaving a more polarized and distinctly-defined market with treated lumber at one end and mid- to high-end composites and cellular PVC at the other end. This price spread between composites and treated lumber has been an inhibitor in composite products ability to gain share. With this trend towards the price spread increasing and becoming more sharply defined, the outlook is tempered for composites to be able to take notable market share from treated wood.

Home Centers and Direct Purchases are on the Rise
With nearly 4,500 stores in the US and Canada, home centers make it easy for customers to shop and purchase decking and railing products. In addition, home centers have developed digital marketing platforms to increase online and in-store sales. This strategy is working for the home centers as evidenced by the increasing share of distribution for decking and railing products.
