How do you see the demand for doors and windows in modern construction?
The fenestration market is growing rapidly due to the rising awareness amongst builders and consumers, rapid urbanisation, growth in residential units and increased adoption of eco-friendly and energy conserving products to comply with government’s initiative of Energy Conservation Building Code. Strong outlook in residential as well as commercial sectors including new constructions and renovation projects will drive the demand for windows and doors. Increasing construction accompanied by economic growth particularly will support the fenestration demand. Necessity for privacy and improved sound insulation due to changing lifestyles will fuel the product demand. Changing demographic and income trends along with the growing population are among major factors supporting the product demand.

How is market looking this year?
The windows and doors market is projected to rise this year, driven by the strength in new housing activity and commercial building construction. The new residential market is forecast to outpace all other segments. Wood holds the highest market share, however the durability and lower cost of uPVC profiles continues to spur demand, particularly in home remodeling. In the commercial market, swift growth is expected for office, retail, lodging, and institutional buildings, boosting sales of windows and doors, including automated products that adhere to universal design principles. Sales will also be spurred by building owners investing in high performance fenestration products to reduce utility bills.
