Freedonia Market Research Blog Vinyl Fencing: Passing Trend or New Standard?

Vinyl Fencing: Passing Trend or New Standard?

by Bethan Davis

October 24, 2023

Vinyl fencing continues to make gains as other innovations affect future fencing trends.

Vinyl fencing has gained significant popularity in recent years, with homeowners and commercial property owners alike turning to this modern alternative to traditional materials like wood or metal. One of the primary reasons for this surge in popularity is its low maintenance requirement. Vinyl fences are known for their durability and resistance to rot, corrosion, and pests. They are also available in a wide range of styles and colors, providing consumers with the flexibility to match their fence to their unique aesthetic preferences. Vinyl fencing is relatively easy to install and does not require frequent painting or staining, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run.

However, it's not without its drawbacks. Some consumers might find the upfront cost of vinyl fencing to be higher than other options, and extreme temperatures can cause vinyl to become brittle or warp over time. Additionally, some people prefer the natural look of wood, which vinyl may not fully replicate. Nevertheless, for those seeking a low-maintenance and visually appealing fencing solution, vinyl continues to be an attractive choice.

Vinyl’s Competitors

The vinyl fencing industry has significant competition, including materials such as:

  • Composite Fencing: Composite fencing, made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastic, offers the natural appearance of wood with the durability of plastic. It is low-maintenance, resistant to rotting, and comes in various styles and colors.

  • Metal Alloys: Advancements in metal alloys have led to more durable and weather-resistant options for metal fencing. Corrosion-resistant materials like galvanized steel and aluminum alloys have become increasingly popular.

  • Sustainable Materials: Eco-friendly fencing options made from sustainable materials like bamboo, reclaimed wood, or recycled plastics have gained attention. These materials are both environmentally responsible and visually appealing.

Plastic fencing market value is expected to increase by only $1.2 billion by 2027, with supply chain issues and raw material costs significantly impacting growth or decline year by year. Demand is expected to increase, but only slightly. High interest prices are currently delaying consumers who are planning to build new homes or renovate. Advancements in material durability and attractiveness will help to push demand forward.
