Aluminium Door and Window Manufacturing in Australia - Industry Research Report

Pane in the neck: Rising input costs and import competition have limited revenue growth

Manufacturers derive the majority of demand from construction markets, as most of these projects require windows and doors. Commercial, industrial and institutional building construction markets experienced a boom in demand over the two years through 2019-20, which significantly boosted revenue for the industry. The rising price of aluminium spiked in 2020-21, dampening industry performance. Manufacturers were able to partially pass rising costs on to consumers. The threat of import penetration has constrained industry performance, driving revenue to fall by an annualised 3.9% over the past five years to an estimated $4.1 billion through 2022-23, including an anticipated 5.7% fall in the current year. This fall in 2022-23 stems from plummeting demand from the residential and commercial construction sectors as rising costs weigh on their budgets.

Industry manufacturers primarily produce architectural aluminium products, including doors; railings; and aluminium-framed windows, doors and shower screens (complete with glass).
