This study examines the global window and door market by product, material, market, and geographic region in value terms at the manufacturers’ level (i.e., excluding the value of features and services added between the manufacturer and end user, including door hanging and finishing operations not offered by the door slab manufacturer).

For the purposes of this study, the value of installed glazing is included in the demand numbers for all window products. Windows with multiple openings (e.g., bay and bow types) that are sold as one unit are considered to be one window.

For doors, the value of installed glazing, sidelites, and/or transoms is included if these features are sold by the manufacturer as part of the framed system.

Major window products included in the study are:

• single- and double-hung windows
• casement windows
• sliding and swing windows
• architectural and stationary windows

Major door products include the following types:

• interior – including panel (e.g., stile-and-rail, and French), flush, and molded
• entry (manually opened)
• sliding patio (including multislide types)
• swinging patio (including multifold types)
