Wood Preservatives

Wood Preservatives Market Research
Report, 2025
Wood preservatives such as copper azoles, synthetic pyrethroids, creosote and
various other preservatives, are the chemicals applied on wood to preserve it
from fungi, insects, termites, ants, and other microbes. These preservatives also
prevent the wood from decomposition, degradation and decay, and provides a
longer life, thereby increasing its durability.
Growth of wood preservatives market is fueled by the use of wood in marine
piling, utility fencing, decking, and in infrastructure. The U.K. government
invested US$ 7.09 Bn on infrastructure development in 2016, which in turn led
to high demand for wood, thereby, propelling growth of the wood preservatives
market.

Demand for wood preservatives is increasing owing to shifting preference of
consumers towards using eco-friendly wood preservatives. For instance,
Ammonium Copper Quaternary (ACQ), a new generation compound, is
extensively being used as an alternative to Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA),
which are wood preservatives. ACQ is being used for treatment of wood used in
agriculture poles and structural timber. It aids in improving the durability of the
wood being treated. However, limited availability of wood and stringent
government regulations on the usage of synthetic wood preservatives, are some
of the major factors restricting growth of global wood preservatives market. For
instance, in 2003, manufacturers of chromated arsenical stopped the residential
use of Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA), and the wood products that are
treated with CCA, including children’s play sets and decks in North America, as
they were harmful to humans as well as environment. CCA is being rapidly
replaced by copper azole (CA) and copper quaternary (ACQ).
Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest growing region in the wood
preservatives market, witnessing a CAGR of 7.56% during the forecast period.
Growth in this region is attributed to rising standard of living, increasing
commercial housing activities, and increasing industrial construction. Moreover,
growing investments in premium furniture backed by rising standard of living,
especially of the middle class population are other factors expected to drive
growth of the market in the region.
