Windows and Doors Market Analysis

Product Segment Analysis

The doors segment is anticipated to dominate the market with a share of 59.0% during the forecast period, owing to the growing need for residential doors and commercial security systems. It comes in functional diversity, such as sliding and folding, smart, and fire-rated doors. In May 2024, Andersen Corporation released a new type of retractable screen system specifically for patio doors that combines the look of a screen door with the functionality of a regular door while also providing adequate ventilation and keeping off insects. The innovation is aligned with consumers’ desire for continuity between interiors and exteriors and enables ongoing product expansion across segments.  With climate zones established, doors are being built to address both insulation and structural standards, particularly in areas prone to hurricanes and earthquakes. Further advancements in lightweight materials and touchless access solutions will further strengthen their position in new construction and renovations.

Material Segment Analysis

UPVC is expected to dominate with a share of 47.1% in the global door and window market by 2037 due to factors such as low cost, thermal efficiency, and recyclability. It is immune to drastic changes in weather conditions and is not easily affected by rust or fading of colors. In December 2023, Aparna Enterprises introduced its UPVC brand, Okotech, in the Southeast Asian market owing to the increasing demand for high-quality, long-lasting window products around the world. Thus, UPVC is used in both luxury and affordable housing segments due to its performance, regardless of the price range. As the regulatory authorities keep raising the bar in terms of energy efficiency, UPVC proves to be a solution for achieving low U-value and thermal transmittance values. These characteristics make the material suitable for use in double or triple glazing, acoustic insulation, and low-E coatings. In terms of foiling, coloring, and structure reinforcement, UPVC is gradually improving on the high-end aesthetics without the high costs or maintenance issues.
