Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) flooring, also known as wood-plastic composite flooring, is flooring made of WPC materials. WPC flooring has similar processing characteristics to wood; it can be sawed, drilled, and nailed using ordinary tools, making it very convenient and usable like regular wood.


Industry Chain Overview

Upstream: The major raw materials include wood fibers (wood powder, bamboo powder, wood chips, straw, etc.), thermoplastic polymers, and processing additives.

Midstream: This stage involves the manufacturing of WPC flooring, where raw materials and additives are thoroughly mixed, then heated and extruded through mold equipment to produce WPC flooring products.

Downstream: The application areas include construction, home decoration, landscaping, and more.

Key Features and Applications

WPC flooring combines the wooden texture of wood with the water-resistant, anti-corrosive properties of plastic, making its applications vast and diverse. Specifically:


Construction Sector: Accounts for the highest consumption at 40.2%, mainly because WPC flooring as a construction template significantly improves construction efficiency and shortens construction time.

Home Decoration: Follows with a consumption percentage of 20.5%.

Environmental and Aesthetic Benefits

WPC flooring’s rise to mainstream popularity in the template industry and its acceptance among businesses and consumers are closely linked to its unique environmental benefits and aesthetics. Beyond its superior performance:


Safety: WPC flooring contains no hazardous chemicals and does not release harmful substances such as formaldehyde or benzene, ensuring consumer safety.

Environmental Impact: It is green, low-carbon, and biodegradable, playing a crucial role in environmental protection.

According to incomplete statistics from the China National Forest Products Association, China’s WPC flooring sales reached 73 million square meters in 2022.


Global Market Outlook

As global environmental awareness continues to rise, WPC flooring, as an environmentally friendly and recyclable product, has gained favor both domestically and internationally. In China, many mainstream WPC flooring companies have achieved world-class product quality and technical processes, earning widespread recognition from international clients. The primary products are sold to numerous countries and regions worldwide. In 2022, exports accounted for approximately 70% of China’s WPC flooring market, with domestic sales making up the remaining 30%.
