WPC DECKING SPANISH MARKET IN 2015 How much has your business grown in Spain last year..?  

 As we  forecast  two  years  ago,  the  Spanish WPC 

decking market has  shown  significant  growth  for 

the  period  2013‐2014,  exceeded  50%  YoY.  The 

growth  has  been  one  of  the  most  dynamic  in 

Europe  during  2014,  considering  the  current 

average  growth  rate  in  other  main  European 

markets. 

 

Thus,  the WPC decking market has been growing 

steadily in Spain since the late 2000’s. 

 

Beyond  the  crisis  of  consumption  that  settled  in 

Spain in the last years, some drivers have propelled 

the  growth  of  the  WPC  decking  market.  The 

synchronization of some key factors like the growth 

of  investment  in  home  improvement,  the 

investment  in  the hospitality  sector and now  the 

recovery of the household spending, have been the 

main drivers of growth.  

  

 

SOME  USEFUL  INSIGHTS  ABOUT  THE SPANISH  MARKET  FOR  WPC  DECKING SECTOR BUSINESS EXECUTIVES.  

 •  The  sales  of WPC  decking  boomed  in  2014  in 

Spain  exceeded  50%,  opening  the way  for  some 

years of expansion and growth. Some international 

brands have managed to capitalize on that growth. 

 

•  US  brands  Fiberon  and  Timbertech  have 

reinforced  its dominance  in  the segment of high‐

performance  solid profiles. One of  them  reached 

record  sales  in  2014,  consolidating  its  market 

dominance in this segment.   

• The market share of Asian products (Std+Capped) 

exceeds 50%. 

 

•  The  WPC  capped  decking  continues  to  gain 

traction in the market. An Asian brand has gained 

significant  market  share  during  2014  due  to  its 

value‐for‐money and it is expected to grow in 2015.  

 

• B2B average price has fallen by around 10% in all 

product  segments  since  2012,  mainly  due  to 

product‐line extensions and the increase of cheap 

imports from Asia. 

 

• In Spain, as in the rest of Europe, the traditional 

wood flooring distribution channel remains as the 

main sales channel for WPC decking. 

 

•  In  Spain,  there  are  some  factors  such  as  the 

weather,  lifestyle and tourism  industry, that open 

new business opportunities  for  the WPC decking, 

which  do  not  exist  or  are  minimized  in  other 

European markets  

 

• Due  to different  indicators, we predict at  least 

three‐four years of significant growth for the WPC 

decking sector  in Spain, before  it will show some 

signs of maturity.  

 

• Imports of tropical wood grew over 10% last year 

after years of  stagnation,  confirming  the positive 

trend of the sector.  

 

• Some price/margin corrections would  lie ahead 

due  to  the  mix  and  evolution  of  USD/Euro 

exchange rate and/or oil prices.
