Smart Wood Preservatives Market Trend Evaluation & Future Forecast during the Period 2018-2025 || Key Players - BASF Wolman GmbH, Borax Inc., KMG Chemicals Inc., Koppers Inc., Among Others

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.
