Market Overview:
Wooden decking refers to flooring made from timber that is installed outdoors, usually adjacent to a house or other building, and generally directly on the ground or on joists. Wooden decking is primarily made from various types of wood such as redwood, cedar, tropical wood, and composites. Wooden decking provides a sturdy yet beautiful outdoor flooring surface. Wooden decking offers natural beauty, durability, high load bearing capacity, and low maintenance. Its natural texture provides safety and slip resistance. These advantages have led to increased demand for wooden decking from residential as well as commercial sectors for landscaping and outdoor recreational areas.
Market Key Trends:
Technological advancements in wooden decking material are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Manufacturers are developing durable and sustainable wooden decking materials using various wood treatment technologies, protective coatings, and composites.

Composite decking materials blend wood fiber or wood flour with plastic to produce a low-maintenance and highly durable decking alternative to traditional wood. These technological advancements are increasing the longevity and reducing the maintenance needs of wooden decking, thereby fueling their adoption.
