Summary
US demand to rise 5.3 annually through 2018 US
demand for wood protection coatings and
preservatives is expected to expand 5.3 percent
per year to 5.1 billion in 2018. Growth in this
industry is primarily driven by trends in key
wood protection product applications such as
furniture, decking, and siding. Because many of
these applications are closely tied to
construction activity levels, rebounds in both
new and improvement and repair construction
spending will propel sales of wood coatings and
preservatives. The ongoing adoption of higher
priced versions -- e.g., combined paint and
primer or stain and sealer coating products --
will also boost value gains. Even faster growth
for wood protection products will be restrained
by pressures on the market base of wood products.

For instance, wood faces competition from
alternative materials, such as wood plastic
composites and plastics, which are often more
durable and require less maintenance.
Additionally, newer types of wood protection
products last longer and are effective with fewer
coats or less initial treatment, further
restraining volume gains. Coatings to remain
dominant over preservatives Coatings (e.g.,
stains, paints, sealers, primers) account for the
majority of wood protection product demand, with
stains and paints holding the two largest shares.
Re-coatings for maintenance projects account for
the larger share of the market than do coatings
used on new products. Maintenance uses helped
support sales of coatings during the recession
and slow recovery between 2008 and 2013, even as
demand for new coatings fell over that period.

Through 2018, improvements in new construction
and consumer spending trends will boost increases
in demand for wood protection coatings,
particularly for new uses. Preservatives, which
are applied to lumber by wood treatment
companies, account for the smaller portion of
wood protection demand. Although alkaline copper
quaternary (ACQ) was initially the most popular
substitute for chromate copper arsenate (CCA) in
residential end uses, copper azoles share of
demand grew to account for the largest share of
preservative sales by 2013. Sales were fueled in
particular by the availability of micronized
formulations, which are less corrosive than
conventional versions.

Windows doors, cabinets to lead gains by
application Among applications, paint is the
dominant wood protection product used on siding
and windows and doors, but stains and sealers are
more widely utilized on decks, cabinets,
furniture, and flooring. Additionally, outdoor
applications are more likely to use pressure
treated or otherwise preserved wood. In 2013,
furniture, decking, and siding were the three
largest applications in value terms. However, the
smaller windows and doors and cabinets
applications will achieve faster growth through
2018.

Manufacturing to be fastest growing
market Residential end uses make up the largest
market for wood protection products, driven
primarily by maintenance demand for items such as
decks, siding, and fences. Manufacturer applied
coatings and preservatives also account for a
significant share of demand, with nonresidential
and nonbuilding uses holding much smaller shares.
The manufacturing market will grow the fastest
through 2018, boosted by the recovery in
construction activity and consumer spending.
