概要

処理木材の市場規模と動向:

世界の処理木材市場規模は2023年に58億6,000万米ドルと推定され、2024年から2030年にかけてCAGR 6.7%で成長すると予測されています。

処理木材は、腐朽、昆虫、湿気に対する耐性が評価され、デッキ、フェンス、海洋構造物などの屋外用途に適しています。このような環境劣化に対する耐性により、木材製品の寿命が延び、長期的には費用対効果が高くなります。その結果、特に気候の厳しい地域や湿度の高い地域では、未処理の木材はすぐに劣化してしまうため、消費者や産業界は未処理の木材よりもこの木材を好みます。

世界の建設ブーム、特にアジア太平洋とラテンアメリカの新興経済圏が、処理木材の需要を大きく牽引しています。都市化と人口増加により、住宅や商業施設のニーズが高まっており、構造部材や屋外スペース、造園に処理木材が使用されることが多いです。さらに、処理木材はインフラ・プロジェクト、特に橋梁、電柱、鉄道枕木のような長寿命が重要な屋外用途で好まれる材料です。

環境への意識が高まるにつれ、処理木材はプラスチックや金属のような合成素材に代わる持続可能な素材として注目されています。最新の治療プロセスでは、環境に優しい化学薬品が使用されているため、治療木材は建築や屋外での使用において、より環境に優しい選択肢となっています。また、木材は再生可能で、生分解性があり、非再生可能な材料に比べて二酸化炭素排出量が少ないです。これは、特に北米や欧州のような環境規制の厳しい地域で、環境に優しい建築を目指す世界の動向と一致しています。

木材処理技術の進歩は、処理木材の美観を向上させ、その用途を拡大することで、処理木材の魅力を高めています。新しい治療プロセスは、木材が自然な外観を保つことを保証し、美観が重要視される住宅や商業プロジェクトにとってより魅力的なものとなっています。さらに、こうした技術改良によって治療の安全性と有効性が向上し、処理木材が建築業者や消費者に人気のある選択肢であり続けることを保証しています。

住宅改修プロジェクトの増加に伴い、特にCOVID-19の大流行時には、屋外の居住空間を充実させる傾向が強まった。住宅所有者はパティオ、デッキ、パーゴラ、庭造りに投資しており、屋外環境での耐久性で知られる加圧処理木材の需要を牽引しています。この動向は特に北米で顕著であり、住宅建設や改築プロジェクトが力強い成長の原動力となっています。

Treated Wood Market Size & Trends:

The global treated wood market size was estimated at USD 5.86 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2024 to 2030. Treated wood is valued for its ability to resist decay, insects, and moisture, which makes it suitable for outdoor applications such as decking, fencing, and marine structures. This resistance to environmental degradation extends the lifespan of wood products, making them more cost-effective in the long run. As a result, consumers and industries prefer this wood over untreated wood, especially in regions with harsh climates or high humidity, where untreated wood would quickly deteriorate.

The global construction boom, particularly in emerging economies in Asia-Pacific and Latin America, is significantly driving the demand for treated wood. Urbanization and population growth are leading to an increased need for residential and commercial buildings, which often incorporate treated wood for structural elements, outdoor spaces, and landscaping. Moreover, treated wood is a preferred material in infrastructure projects, especially for outdoor uses such as bridges, utility poles, and railway sleepers, where longevity is crucial.

As environmental awareness grows, treated wood is seen as a sustainable alternative to synthetic materials like plastic or metal. Modern treatment processes use environmentally friendly chemicals, making treated wood a greener choice for construction and outdoor use. Wood is also renewable, biodegradable, and has a lower carbon footprint compared to non-renewable materials. This aligns with global trends towards eco-friendly building practices, especially in regions with strict environmental regulations such as Europe and North America.

Advances in wood treatment technologies have made treated wood more appealing by improving its aesthetic qualities and expanding its use. New treatment processes ensure that the wood retains its natural appearance, making it more attractive for residential and commercial projects where aesthetics matter. Furthermore, these technological improvements enhance the safety and efficacy of treatments, ensuring that treated wood remains a popular choice for builders and consumers.

With the rise in home improvement projects, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a growing trend toward enhancing outdoor living spaces. Homeowners are investing in patios, decks, pergolas, and garden structures, driving the demand for pressure-treated wood, which is known for its durability in outdoor environments. This trend is particularly notable in North America, where residential construction and renovation projects are strong growth drivers
