The Europe Doors and Windows Market was valued at USD 58.75 billion in 2023, and is expected to reach USD 71.05 billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 3.22%.
The European doors and windows market is highly fragmented, with over 5,000 manufacturers across major markets. The market has long been steered by customer demand. The key players in the Europe doors and windows market are JELD-WEN, Internorm, Inwido, and VKR Group.
Furthermore, following the regional trend for energy conservation, vendors are integrating high-efficiency doors and windows in their product portfolios, which enables consumers to improve the thermal efficiency of their dwellings and thereby save on energy expenses, causing innovations and investments in the market to incline toward this direction.
On a broader level, the European market saw developments across zones, with some spilling over to the local level and allowing vendors to create some degree of pull demand for new and innovative products. Vendors try to keep up with the ongoing market trends and have readied themselves to cater to local and national markets.
The Europe doors and windows market is mainly driven by their installation in new non-residential buildings or by renovating or replacing existing structures. Countries like Germany, France, the UK, and the Nordics are making it common practice to implement fire-rated doors and windows in all commercial buildings. In line with innovations taking center stage, doors and windows made with fiberglass have gained popularity in the market. Rapidly developing infrastructure and construction output drive the growth of the doors and windows market in emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe. However, fluctuating raw material prices can be a primary challenge for the market’s growth during the forecast period.
Furthermore, there is a high demand for doors and windows with multiple glazed options and variants that promise high thermal efficiency by eliminating heat loss through building doors and windows. As a step toward meeting energy targets, EU member states have attempted to adopt unconventional energy conservation methods, particularly for harnessing solar energy and reducing total heat loss from buildings. The government has aimed to improve the energy performance of buildings in the region.
MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS
Increasing Demand for Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
The doors and windows industry has significantly reduced its environmental footprint by adopting sustainable practices. A key initiative is using recycled materials, such as wood, aluminum, and composites, to manufacture eco-friendly doors and windows. Additionally, there has been a notable rise in the adoption of energy-efficient glazing solutions, including triple-pane and vacuum-insulated glazing units. These advanced technologies provide excellent thermal performance, reduce noise, and significantly enhance energy efficiency.
Furthermore, sustainability and energy efficiency are now predominant in innovation in the Europe doors and windows market, reflecting a collective dedication to environmental stewardship and resource conservation. Using recycled materials and energy-efficient glazing represents a shift towards comprehensive sustainability, considering both product performance and ecological and social impacts. As these trends progress, they transform the industry, underscoring the significance of sustainable design and construction in fostering a more environmentally responsible future.
Rising Home Improvement Activities
Homeowners are increasingly choosing to renovate and improve their existing properties rather than moving to new ones. This trend is driven by the rising costs of new construction, the desire to personalize existing spaces, and a growing emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability. The surge in home improvement activities across the region is expected to continue driving growth in the Europe doors and windows market, affecting both the replacement and new installation segments.
Also, most homes and buildings in the EU are several decades old and require renovation to meet the EU’s goal of achieving a zero-emission building stock by 2050. Enhancing Europe’s building stock can be supported by independent service hubs that provide property owners and residents with technical advice and funding information for renovations. An EU-funded project developed hubs, known as one-stop shops, in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and Valencia, Spain.
INDUSTRY RESTRAINTS
Subdued Market Expansion in Europe
In recent years, the Europe doors and windows market has faced significant challenges originating from economic factors impacting construction activity, particularly in Europe. High interest rates and soaring building costs have reduced demand for new buildings across the region. While ongoing projects and a focus on sustainability have mitigated the decline thus far, clear signs indicate that construction volumes are expected to shrink, posing a challenge for manufacturers and suppliers in the doors & windows market.
Furthermore, the economic landscape, characterized by high interest rates and increased building costs, has dampened demand for new buildings globally. Homebuyers and firms hesitate to invest in new premises due to economic uncertainties and higher construction costs. This reduced demand directly affects the doors and windows market, as fewer new construction projects result in lower requirements for such solutions.
