AMA Research’s 10th report on the door and window fabricators market, has an in-depth analysis of 8 product types including a range of materials. The fabricator assembles the completed window or door system, and there is an attempt to quantify the market at trade prices excluding installation costs.

This report covers fabricators of full external door and window systems including residential and commercial windows, conservatories, entrance and patio doors, ground floor treatments, curtain wall and roof glazing. The market is complex with companies involved in various stages of production and installation, using materials including PVCu, aluminium, timber, steel and composites. The market structure also differs depending on the product and materials used, and a detailed breakdown of materials and product subsectors is given, along with major players for each.

The residential window market is the largest subsector and is known for being extremely competitive, with few national operators and thousands of local companies. This is further exacerbated by the fact over 85% of homes are now fully double glazed, meaning firms are now looking to other selling points to market their products, as well as offering a wider range. Design features for doors and windows can offer improved security and energy efficiency as well as aesthetics. In contrast, large commercial projects such as curtain wall for high rise buildings usually go to major foreign companies, and projects can run over 18-24 months.
