North America is expected to remain a key market for decking as demand for outdoor living spaces, residential remodeling, and new construction continues to support industry growth, according to a new market analysis from Fact.MR.
The report projects the global decks market will grow from $16.2 billion in 2026 to $29.0 billion by 2036, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The market was valued at $15.3 billion in 2025 and is expected to create an estimated $12.8 billion growth opportunity through 2036.
For the U.S. market, Fact.MR forecasts a 5.3% CAGR through 2036, supported by established contractor networks, continued remodeling activity, and steady new residential construction. The report cites homeowner investment in outdoor living spaces, deck replacement cycles, and demand for residential property upgrades as key factors driving continued market growth.
Residential construction is expected to account for 66% of global decking demand in 2026, making it the industry’s largest end-use segment. New deck installations are projected to represent 58% of the market, while raised decks are expected to account for 38% of all construction activity. Wood and timber decking are forecast to remain the largest material category with a 44% market share, although composite decking continues to gain traction because of its lower maintenance requirements.
The report identifies several manufacturers leading the competitive landscape, including Trex Co., TimberTech (AZEK Building Products), Fiberon, Deckorators (UFP Industries), West Fraser Timber, and Barrette Outdoor Living. According to the report, manufacturers are competing through product innovation, production capacity expansion, sustainability initiatives, and channel partnerships, with companies that maintain strong contractor relationships, broad distribution networks, and premium product portfolios expected to strengthen their competitive positions through 2036.
Internationally, India is projected to be the fastest-growing decks market, posting a 7.8% CAGR through 2036. Fact.MR attributes that growth to expanding housing programs, urban development, and increasing residential construction activity. China is forecast to grow at 7.1%, followed by Australia at 5.8%, the United Kingdom at 5.5%, Germany at 5.0%, and Japan at 4.7%.
Across all regions, the report says demand is being driven by continued investment in outdoor living spaces, accelerating deck replacement cycles, renovation activity, adoption of composite and polymer decking materials, and expanding commercial and hospitality outdoor spaces. At the same time, the industry continues to face challenges from lumber and resin price volatility, permit and structural compliance requirements, skilled labor shortages, housing market slowdowns in some regions, and rising project costs.
