The global wood fencing market size is expected to reach USD 11.41 billion in 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2025 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to environmental awareness among the masses. Wood, composite fences, and organic recycled materials are a few examples of environment-friendly materials that are used for developing fences. Wooden fences are preferred in residential applications owing to their organic appearance.
The surge in residential construction activities across the globe, along with the rise in demand for fences for usage in industrial and agricultural applications, is fueling the growth of the market. If maintained properly, wooden fences remain untouched for many years. For security reasons, these fences are used in both, residential and agricultural applications thus propelling the industry growth over the forecast period.
A large number of buyers are present in the wood fencing market and there is considerable diversification among these buyers. For instance, the bargaining power of buyers from the industrial sector is high as they make bulk purchases from manufacturers at competitive prices. The bargaining power of buyers from the residential sector is medium due to their small and single purchases. Therefore, it can be concluded that the overall bargaining power is expected to be moderate due to the surging residential construction.
Picket fences are commonly employed for residential applications such as gardens and pools primarily for security purposes. Moreover, the rise in residential construction activities and the surge in institutional construction expenditures around the world are expected to fuel the growth of the picket segment of the wood fencing industry in the region in the coming years.
Players in the market are focused on innovative strategic activities with the help of collaborations with leading research institutes. For instance, Bekaert, a galvanized wire company offers American-made fencing products in different varieties and continuously invests in R&D for product development and innovation. Bekaert has research and development partnerships with the Slovak University of Technology (Slovakia), the Belgian Technology Industry Research Center, and the Fraunhofer Institute (Germany).
