The size of the worldwide treated wood market was valued at $6.21 billion back in 2023, and is now currently at $10.1 billion in 2025 according to a new report, “Global Treated Wood Market Outlook to 2032,” by Archive Market Research. Builders, homeowners, and architects continue seek out new and better ways to enhance materials for protection, performance, and safety. Additionally many of these same end-users are also looking at new innovations in treatments are eco-friendly, reduce health risks, and most importantly, do not jeopardize the stability or performance of the end product lumber.
Overall, the treated wood market is growing due to the increased demand for durable, weather-resistant, and long-lasting wood products in construction, landscaping, and furniture manufacturing. Additionally many end-users are also looking for new innovations in treatments that are eco-friendly, reduce health risks, and most importantly, do not jeopardize the stability or performance of the end product lumber. The industry is slowly shifting from the long-perceived notion that pressure-treated is the only option for protection. This realization is now giving way to exploration and interest in more innovative treatment solutions that offer better protection, without the restrictions or hazards of traditional treated materials.
Treated wood is a term used to describe wood that has been chemically or thermally processed to enhance its resistance to decay, insects, fungi, and weathering. This makes it suitable for outdoor and high-moisture environments as well as for use in structural applications where durability is a major factor. The construction industry, especially for residential and commercial buildings, is one of the significant drivers for the treated wood market.
Treated wood is extensively used for decks, fences, landscaping, and exterior wood structures where exposure to the elements requires wood to be resistant to rot and pests. In addition to this, the increased market demand for sustainable and environmental-friendly building materials is adding more growth in the market because the products of treated wood are usually from renewable materials.
As the demand continues to grow, TechWood will continue to innovate and meet the needs of the industry. TechWood products, while offering warrantied protection against mold, rot, decay, termites and fire, additionally are eco-friendly and non-hazardous to humans, animals and vegetation. The treatments actually reduce VOC’s and improve indoor air-quality, providing valuable solutions not only during construction, but for homeowners after construction is completed. Applicable to both residential and commercial construction projects, TechWood is currently being utilized by builders, contractors, architects and engineers throughout all phases of development.
