Doors in the US by Material, Product, Market and Region

Report Overview

New Housing & Demand for High-End Exterior Doors Fuel Growth in US Door Market

Market growth will be driven by continued strength in new housing activity and expanding commercial building construction spending; increased demand for high-end, high-performance products with enhanced durability and energy efficiency; and rising sales of custom, more aesthetically pleasing doors sold at higher price points.

Key Findings in the Doors Market in the US Study:

Fiberglass Fuels Robust Gains for Plastic Doors

Fiberglass doors will continue to gain share as builders and homeowners increasingly recognize the material’s benefits -- including its superior durability, low maintenance, and good aesthetics. A bright outlook is also anticipated for vinyl doors, which will continue to penetrate the patio door segment due to their low cost and energy efficiency. Nonetheless, metal doors will retain the leading share of overall sales due to their dominance in the commercial market, as well as their top position in residential segments such as entry and garage doors.

New Housing Activity Spurs Stronger Growth for Interior, Entry, Garage, & Other New Residential Doors

The best opportunities are forecast for the new residential market, supported by continued gains in housing completions. In addition, builders will continue specifying high-value doors with good aesthetics (including wood garage doors or fiberglass entry types with specialty glazing) to attract buyers.

Healthy growth in construction spending for office, retail, lodging, and institutional structures will bolster sales of commercial doors through 2021, including automated types that improve the flow of foot traffic and adhere to universal design principles. In addition, building owners are increasingly investing in high-performance doors to improve energy efficiency and achieve green building certifications such as LEED.

Product Launches Target Indoor-Outdoor Living Trends

Leading door manufacturers are launching new products to take advantage of growth opportunities driven by popular design trends. The rising popularity of transitional indoor-outdoor living spaces and modern designs, for instance, has spurred several suppliers to launch series of multipanel patio doors that provide larger openings and improve access to natural light.
