North America has established itself as the dominant region in the global wood preservatives market over the past few decades with 38.7% share in 2024. With a well-established wood industry catering to both commercial and residential construction needs, the region accounts for the largest consumption of wood preservatives. Stringent environmental regulations regarding the use of toxic wood preservatives have led to increased adoption of eco-friendly alternatives like micronized copper and ACQ preservatives.

The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing market for wood preservatives globally in recent years. Rapid urbanization and industrialization across developing nations such as China, India and Indonesia have driven tremendous growth in the construction industry. Huge government investments in infrastructure projects related to housing, rail, road and commercial construction have boosted wood consumption. The region is also a major exporter of treated wood products to developed markets. While China dominates Asia Pacific consumption currently, other Southeast Asian countries are witnessing double digit annual growth. Cost competitive domestic production along with increasing structural wood imports are propelling the wood preservatives market in the region upwards.
