5 Door and Window Fittings Market Trends: How the Industry is Growing

The Door and Window Fittings Report from AMA Research reviews the major market trends in the door and window markets with emphasis on developments in both the residential and non-residential sectors for windows, hinged doors and sliding doors.

Here are 5 key takeaways from the 2023 edition of the Door and Window Fittings Market Report.

Analysis on New Products Within the Door and Window Fittings Market

The report has been refreshed since the last edition, now including smart and electromechanical locks and segmenting hardware for doors and windows.

The major hardware product sectors – locks, handles, door closers and hinges – are assessed in terms of market size, structure, trends, distribution and major suppliers, while smaller product sectors are also reviewed in relation to their individual market size.

Fitting Replacements Outperform the Door and Window Market

The fittings market performed better than the overall door and window market during the lockdown period, with hardware able to be replaced both as part of a door or window system or replaced separately.

This concurs with the trend seen across the Home Improvement market during the COVID-19 lockdowns, with RMI activity soaring due to home owners’ disposable income being spent on their homes rather than traditional holidays.

Assa Abloy Expand Their Reach Across the Market

Assa Abloy increased market share in 2022 with the acquisition of Arran Isle (including Mila and Carlisle Brass) as well as Caldwell UK.

This adds to Assa Abloy’s strong presence in the UK market and beyond, with their portfolio already including the well-known brands Yale and Union.

A full financial profile of Assa Abloy, its subsidiaries and several of its major competitors can be found within Chapter 5 of the report.

Locks Market has Continued to Grow in Range and Product Offering

Locks are the largest product category, followed by handles, door closers and hinges.

Market sizing for all of these product sectors, along with analysis on the factors that have most heavily influenced market activity during recent years can be found in Chapter 5 of the report.

Door and Window Fittings will Influence Building Regulations
