The global window and door industry comprises establishments engaged in the manufacturing of windows and doors made of metal, wood, plastic, and fiberglass. These products are used in residential and non-residential buildings for new construction and in replacement/remodeling. The industry is forecast to reach $170.7 billion by 2018. Asia Pacific (APAC) is estimated to represent maximum growth potential during the next five years. Substantial opportunities are expected for this industry as new concepts such as energy efficiency and green buildings are being realized.
Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has conducted a competitive analysis on the window and door market and presents its findings in “Global Window and Door Market 2013-2018: Trend, Profit, and Forecast Analysis.” The report studies manufacturers of windows and doors, providing a five-year annual trend analysis that highlights market size, profit and cost structure for North America, Europe, APAC, and the Rest of the World (ROW). The report also provides a forecast, addressing market opportunities for the next five years for each region.
The report analyzes that population control plans in India and China have suppressed the global population growth rate. Declining population growth rates had a negative impact on global productivity, specifically in Europe and Japan. The low GDP growth rates adversely affected the manufacturing, retail, and transport industries. The emerging nations in ROW such as Brazil and Argentina experienced weak growth due to slowdown in exports to the major countries in 2012.
The report studies the key drivers of the industry. Rising living standards, consumer spending power, environmental awareness, and sustainable development boost demand for windows and doors. Improvement in economic conditions are reflected in the employment rate, which further enhances per capita spending on home remodeling and replacement, encouraging growth.
This market report is an indispensable reference guide for materials suppliers, product manufacturers, investors, executives, distributors, and many more operating in this market. Industrialization and urbanization in developing countries provide good prospects for window and door manufacturers. Increasing popularity of fiberglass, composites, and vinyl-based windows and doors provide good scope for the industry.
