Low carbonization path and market opportunities for environmentally friendly decorative materials

Keywords: building decoration materials, environmentally friendly materials, low-carbon

With the promotion of the "dual carbon" goal, environmentally friendly decorative materials have become the focus of the industry. Traditional materials such as plywood and flooring contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, posing a threat to human health. The penetration rate of green building materials such as low-carbon gypsum board and prefabricated walls continues to increase, and the market share is expected to exceed 35% by 2025.

The core advantages of environmentally friendly materials lie in low VOC emissions and renewability. For example, bamboo wood composite materials are based on bamboo fibers and combined with resin bonding technology, which combines strength and environmental friendliness, and are widely used in indoor partitions and furniture manufacturing. In addition, recycled metals can be melted and processed into decorative lines or artistic installations, reducing resource consumption.

Policy driven and market demand jointly promote the development of environmentally friendly materials. The "Unified Green Building Identification System" proposed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development requires that the proportion of green building materials used in new buildings exceed 70%, driving the growth of functional product markets such as formaldehyde decomposition coatings and antibacterial countertops. For example, a certain brand of wall paint has upgraded its testing standards, resulting in a 20% -30% increase in product unit price and forming an 80 billion yuan segmented market.

In the future, environmentally friendly materials will be extended towards full lifecycle management, achieving a low-carbon closed-loop from raw material procurement to waste recycling. Enterprises need to strengthen technology research and development and standard setting to seize market opportunities.
