Market Dynamics

What Are the Driving Factors for the Global Fire-Rated Doors Market?

The market growth for construction products such as doors and entrance systems is highly dependent on residential and commercial construction investments. The demand for the construction of residential buildings and commercial complexes is on the rise owing to the increase in disposable income of individuals and new product launches. In addition, in the past few years, the government has formulated initiatives to design, build, and operate structures following the green building concept, in which the total energy utilized by the building annually is approximately equal to the renewable energy generated on-site. The growth in the residential and commercial construction sector has positively impacted the market growth and is expected to further fuel the demand for doors.

One of the driving factors of the doors market is increased investment in interior design. Homeowners, office owners, and proprietors globally hire interior designers to plan, design, and supervise the interiors of their construction projects. They have been focusing on renovating their houses and offices corresponding to their own functional needs, style preferences, and finances. In addition, the rise in consumer spending on home remodeling globally has driven market growth in recent years. The annual growth in homeowner remodeling expenditure was over 7% in 2018. Hence, an increase in expenditure on home remodeling, with a visible focus on replacements of doors, is expected to supplement the market growth.

What Are the Restraints for the Global Fire-Rated Doors Market?

High initial costs are one of the major challenges restraining the automatic door market growth. In addition, the predictive maintenance technique utilizes the data collected in real-time through detection or optical sensors installed in the automatic doors and subsequently analyzes it for predictive maintenance. In addition, continuous up-gradation of software and application programs to improve the overall performance of automatic doors involves high costs, thereby restricting their usage. Moreover, the lack of skilled operators and technicians for the maintenance and service of automatic doors restrains the growth of the market among fast-emerging economies and price-sensitive markets.

Doors are majorly made up of raw materials such as wood, metal, glass, plastic, and others. Raw materials prices have been fluctuating for the past few years owing to a range of economic and speculative aspects. Government-led stringent laws, tariffs, and regulations against deforestation, metals, and other materials used in doors have declined the revenues and profits of the manufacturers to a great extent. Hence, the unstable and rising prices of wood and other materials are anticipated to restrict the doors industry growth during the forecast period.

What Are the Future Opportunities for the Global Fire-Rated Doors Market?

Safety and security are the major concerns in the residential and commercial sectors, which has increased the deployment of systems such as voice-activated devices, video intercom systems, and smart outlets in homes. This factor is a substantial contributor to the growth of the automatic door market. In addition, intense competition has been witnessed between start-ups and large corporations, owing to the profitability of automatic door systems.

The government has taken several initiatives associated with infrastructure progress. Augmented investment in the real estate sector propels the demand for the doors market in infrastructural projects across numerous sectors. In 2016, the Government of Canada implemented The Investing in Canada plan, which is a comprehensive, enduring plan for building an affluent and comprehensive country through historic infrastructure investments. Through the 12 years of the Investing in Canada plan, the Government of Canada is expected to invest more than USD 180 billion in five areas that include public transit projects, green infrastructure projects, social infrastructure, trade and transportation projects, and infrastructure projects; thereby, doubling the current federal funding.
