Decks are flat, elevated surfaces typically built outdoors, often using wood or composite materials, and are attached to buildings like houses. They are primarily used as recreational areas for seating, dining, or entertainment in both residential and commercial spaces.
The primary materials used for decks include metal, wood, plastic, composites, and concrete. Metal decks, which are made from materials like steel or aluminum, are robust, durable, and fire-resistant, making them ideal for commercial and industrial use due to their low maintenance and resistance to rot and pests. Common fastening methods include face fastening, hidden fastening, and edge fastening. These methods are applied in a variety of uses such as railings, walls, and floors, serving both residential and non-residential end users.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

The decks market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.70 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth projected for the forecast period is driven by several factors, including a rising preference for outdoor offices and workspaces, growing demand in emerging economies fueled by urban expansion, heightened awareness of weather-resistant deck materials, an increasing need for multi-functional outdoor areas, and a stronger emphasis on energy-efficient outdoor structures. Key trends during this period include the use of technology-driven composite decking, the development of eco-friendly materials, integration with outdoor living spaces, innovation in deck understructures, and advancements in multi-level deck designs.
The growth of the decks market is expected to be driven by the expansion of the construction industry, fueled by rising urbanization and the increasing demand for residential and commercial spaces. The construction industry encompasses the planning, design, development, and building of residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Its growth is primarily due to urbanization, which drives the need for more residential, commercial, and infrastructure development to support expanding urban populations. Decks contribute to the construction industry by enhancing outdoor living spaces, adding value to properties, and improving their appeal, thus supporting the growth of both residential and commercial projects. For example, according to the Australia Bureau of Statistics, the number of dwellings under construction increased from 240,065 units in 2022 to 240,813 units in 2023, reflecting the ongoing expansion of the construction industry and, in turn, the growth of the decks market.
Leading companies in the decks market are focusing on innovations such as concealed fastening systems to improve both the aesthetic appeal and installation efficiency of decks. Concealed fastening systems are hidden connectors that secure deck boards without visible screws or nails, resulting in a smooth, clean surface. For example, in March 2024, Trex Company Inc. introduced the Trex Hideaway Fastener Collection, an advanced fastening system designed for composite and grooved deck boards. This collection includes hidden fasteners with stainless steel screws set in durable glass-filled nylon connectors, ensuring quick installation, long-lasting durability, and a sleek, fastener-free surface. The system is engineered for precise board spacing and full compatibility with all Trex-grooved decking products, providing an attractive finish with easy maintenance.
