Market Summary
The Door and Window Fabricators’ market is highly complex, comprising a number of relatively separate sectors, covering both residential and non-residential aspects of the construction industry.
Recently, the market has experienced sluggish trading conditions, largely due to a slowdown in construction activity and macroeconomic challenges.
As a maturing market, the sector continues to face challenges, particularly against a backdrop of oversupply. Notable ongoing changes within the market include advancements in products, materials, distribution methods, and competitive structures, which also present opportunities.
Market Size
The UK Door and Window Fabricators market has experienced volatility in recent years. The market declined sharply due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 but showed solid growth between 2021 and 2022, reaching a value of £2,480m.
Since then, the market has declined, reflecting a slowdown in construction activity and adverse economic conditions affecting RMI activity. The market fell by 3% in 2023 and by an estimated 5% in 2024, to reach £2,290m, which is only 7% higher than the level recorded in 2020.
Market Analysis
Many of the companies involved in the market specialise in particular sectors of the non-residential category, while in the residential market, most firms offer a wide range of home improvement services, including driveways, roof trims, soffits and so on, as well as windows and doors.
While RMI work accounts for the largest share of demand for domestic windows and doors, the housebuilding sector is also a significant market. New construction is expected to gain importance due to the government’s commitment to accelerate housebuilding.
Forecast
The market is estimated to remain broadly static in 2025 at £2,285m, given the sluggish growth expected in the UK economy, ongoing uncertainty in the global economy, and a relatively muted forecast for the construction sector. Growth is anticipated to pick up starting in 2026, with annual increases of between 2% and 3% anticipated up to 2029. By 2029, the market value is expected to reach £2,550 million, indicating cumulative growth of 11% compared to 2024.
