The market circumstances for the door and window manufacturing industry are rather gloomy. The housing crisis has been further exacerbated by Fed rate hikes, supply-chains disruption and increasing construction costs, wrecking the windows-and-door-manufacturers’ balance sheets.
The year 2022 saw low existing stock for residential inventory. However, unaffordability proved to be an obstruction in the potential rise of demand for new residential properties. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, the sale of new homes was down 15.3% in November, 2022 relative to November, 2021.
“Buyers are facing sticker shock due to deteriorating affordability conditions and a lack of existing home inventory.”
Danushka Nanayakkara-Skillington, NAHB
Rising interest rates, combined with increasing construction costs, which are up more than 30%, and supply-chains disruption have all led to builder confidence dropping to 31 in December 2022, below the industry forecast of 34.
While builders are trying to use incentives like mortgage rate buy-downs and price reductions, inflation is making it harder to sustain them. In December, 2022, only 35% of builders offered discounts on new houses, down from 36% in November.
Industry Trends and Key Players
Several industry trends are expected to shape the market in 2023 and beyond. For instance, the Biden administration’s move to end tariffs on steel and aluminum being imported from the UK is expected to cushion the industry from the current headwinds’ impact, providing some relief in manufacturing costs.
The industry is also experiencing significant levels of consolidation, driven primarily by private equity and corporate boards. The trend was at its most visible with the acquisition of Cornerstone Building Products Inc. by the private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC.
A manufacturing trend in the industry that has recently come into the limelight is the use of Wood Plastic Composites (WPC), which are more environmentally sustainable than traditional composites, and also more cost-effective.
The market for WPCs is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.38% during the period of 2022-2030, per the Precedence Research forecasts.
As far as key players go, JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (NYSE:JELD), Masonite International Corporation (NYSE:DOOR) and PGT Innovations, Inc. (NYSE:PGTI) are some of the most prominent public companies in the door and window manufacturing industry.
Outlook: 2023 and Beyond
The beginning of the pandemic saw a fall in demand for commercial entry doors, but the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance expects 0.3% in recovery for 2023.
The commercial windows market, on the other hand, lost a market share of $300 million in 2020, and was valued at $2.5 billion in the year. It is projected to grow by a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period of 2020-2027, reaching a valuation of $3.6 billion in 2027, according to the report of Grand View Research.
The new commercial segment is the primary market for windows, accounting for 78.2% of the market share, with the rest going to the refurbishment segment.
The vinyl segment was the dominant subsector, accounting for a market share of 54.3% of the overall windows market in 2019. The segment is estimated to be valued at $2 billion in 2027, growing at a CAGR of 3.6% during the 2020-2027 forecast.
