The UK door and window fabrication market has turned from steady decline over several years to growth since 2013, with prospects of further growth over the next five years. According to a new report from AMA Research, the market for door and window fabricators increased by around 3% in 2015, following good growth of 5% in the previous year. The report reviews all sectors of the glazing market, including doors, windows, and entrance systems in both residential and commercial applications. According to AMA, general trends in the economy and construction in particular, all influence the sector, and it is important to emphasise the door and window fabrication sector is dependent on the performance of a number of markets, often moving in very different directions; private home improvement, public sector housing renovation, house building, and commercial new build and refurbishments etc. The company expect that the market will remain competitive for the next few years but expect capacity and demand to become more balance as demand from the house building sector continues to expand. Green building materials and thermal efficiency will continue to develop.
