Overview of the global outdoor flooring market

According to Technavio's analyst, the global outdoor flooring market is anticipated to grow at a steady rate and will post a CAGR of close to 7% during the forecast period. The growing popularity of thermo-treated woods will drive the growth prospects for the global outdoor flooring market until the end of 2021. One of the major factors responsible for the growing use of thermo-treated woods in various application such as outdoor flooring is its human and pet-friendly property, zero chemical presence, water repellent property, good appearance, increased dimensional stability, and a higher life cycle of 25 years. Also, slash pine thermo-treated woods have increased extractives and soluble and have reduced holo-cellulose content that provides the wood increased dimensional stability. Similarly, Caribbean pine thermo-treated woods have a reduced galactose, mannose, and xylose content that reduces decay in wood processing. Furthermore, since thermo-treated woods have a greater life cycle and offer more features at the same price as traditional woods, the market is witnessing an increased revenue generation.

The growing demand for epoxy flooring will drive the growth prospects for the global outdoor flooring market for the next four years. Some of the benefits of epoxy outdoor flooring are environmental friendliness, non-toxic nature, versatile nature, non-repeating textures, and long lasting characteristics, which are suitable for outside flooring and balcony flooring.
