The global wood coatings market (marché des revêtements pour bois) is expected to augment at a healthy CAGR of 5.9% throughout the forecast period from 2022 to 2032. The expansion of the wood coatings market is attributed to the growth of the housing market as spending on maintenance of decks, fences, flooring, and siding is rising. Furthermore, stringent regulations, increased competition, a rise in unique formulations, and new product advancements are some of the reasons driving the growth of the wood coatings industry.
Rapid urbanization in response to increasing development and population growth is predicted to increase housing demand on a huge scale. As a result, the demand for furniture such as chairs, tables, mattresses, sofas, shelves, and cupboards has risen exponentially, thereby surging the demand for wood coatings. Although, the availability of less expensive and higher-quality replacements, such as wood composites and plastic wood, may limit the wood coatings market’s growth. Furthermore, stringent regulations, rising competition, growth in unique formulations, and new product developments are some of the factors stimulating the growth of the wood coatings market.
In addition, the availability of cheaper and quality substitutes such as wood composites and plastic wood is likely to hamper the growth of the wood coatings market. Such alternatives are often more durable and require less maintenance in comparison to other wood products. Although several substitutes are available, wood is a primary choice for commercial and residential purposes for clear wood finish due to its wide availability in the market. Clear coat for wood accounts for most of the wood protection demand comprising paints and stains accounting for the largest shares. In contrast, preservatives, which are applied to lumber by wood treatment companies, account for a smaller portion of wood protection demand.
Key Takeaways
- Wood coating applications comprise interior wood, small furniture, panels, tables, cupboards, chairs, office furniture, kitchen furniture, doors, and staircases among others. Generally, there are three major types of wood coatings such as evaporative, reactive, and coalescing.
- It has been often observed that the wood’s color changes by staining, bleaching, or any other techniques. Once the wood surface is prepared and stained, the coating is applied. It usually consists of several coats of shellac, drying oil, paint, wax, or lacquer.
- In the final stages, the surface may be polished with the help of wool, steel, rotten stone, or other materials. It is also dependent on the shine desired by the customer. In addition to that, a final coat of wax is applied over the finish to add a degree of protection. Polyurethane finish is also associated with wood coatings.
- Furniture, decking, and siding are the three largest applications of wood coatings in value terms. However, smaller doors, windows, and cabinet applications are expected to achieve faster growth in the near future.
- Paint is considered a dominant wood coatings product utilized on siding, windows, and doors, but as compared to other products, stains and sealers are more widely utilized on cabinets, decks, furniture, and flooring. Polyurethane wood finish is predominately used in primers and sealers.
- Residential end-user is known as the largest market for wood protection products, driven by maintenance demand for various items such as fences, siding, and decks. Non-residential and non-building uses account for a much smaller market for wood protection products.
