UPVC Doors and Windows Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The UPVC doors and windows market is growing at a faster pace, with substantial growth rates, over the last few years, and the market is estimated to register a CAGR of more than 6% during the forecast period, 2021-2026.

The UPVC doors and windows manufacturing units have suffered losses due to COVID-19 but still maintained a relatively optimistic growth. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the market has been under pressure from mid-February 2020, which restricted the construction of housing and building projects, and the lockdown restrictions have halted the manufacturing of UPVC products and reduced the purchasing of UPVC products, which resulted in a decline in the overall global market.

UPVC is called rigid PVC due to its hard and inflexible characteristics. The high preference for this material can be attributed to its high resistance to chemicals, water, corrosive environments, and weather. As a framing material, UPVC provides unparalleled quality, has low maintenance, and can be opted in various colors. Apart from being low maintenance and highly resistant to the surrounding environment, UPVC offers a plethora of benefits. The UPVC material offers insulation against rain, is recyclable, offers UV protection, sound insulation, resistant to saltwater, and impact resistance, and has several other commercial applications. The unplasticized PVC does not have any additive material added to it during production like the normal PVC, and hence, it requires less energy input during production. The development and upgradation of this material have expanded its use in windows, building materials, doors, shutters, and automobile body parts. UPVC products are recyclable and environment-friendly, making them more suitable for the construction industry.

UPVC doors and windows are aesthetic, long-lasting, fire, wind, and moisture resistant, and thermally and acoustically insulated. They can be customized according to the customer or individual requirements. This material grade exhibits low thermal conductivity, and it prevents loss of energy by 30-35%. It avoids the condensation taking place, which prevents thermal bridging as well, and this material grade never flakes, fades, pits, peels, peels, rusts, or corrodes. The only thing that it needs is the check of the seal for maintenance and light soapy wash. UPVC has low cost, and it exhibits properties such as high stiffness, aesthetic in nature, flame retardant. UPVC is FDA compliant as the residue of vinyl chloride gets restricted and is suitable for transparent applications. It also offers better chemical resistance compared to flexible PVC. It is used as good electrical insulation as it provides better vapor barrier properties. Wood in construction can be replaced with this material grade similar to that of the double-glazed window frames and windowsills, which is also known as vinyl siding. This material is versatile and can be manufactured in different colors, or it can be made to look like other materials.

Key Market Trends

The Industrial and Construction Segment is Witnessing a Surge in the Market Share

UPVC doors and windows are a very useful and fitting solution for the industrial and construction sector. They have many properties and benefits that are aptly suitable for both segments. UPVC doors and windows are long-lasting, fire, wind, and moisture resistant, and thermally and acoustically insulated. UPVC cannot change shape under normal weather conditions, but it can be easily reshaped at high temperatures. Windows made of this material grade of PVC are more energy-efficient than those with wooden or metal frames. This material grade exhibits incredible resistance to chemical erosion and has smoother inner walls that help facilitate the water flow. It operates well in a wide range of temperatures and operating pressure. Pipes made of this material are incredibly reliable, stiff, and cost-effective and often have applications in exterior drainage pipes and sewage lines. They also offer better chemical resistance as compared to flexible PVC. This material is used as good electrical insulation as well as provides better vapor barrier properties.

The Asia-Pacific Region is Anticipated to Grow at a High Rate

Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest-growing market, with a significant growth rate over the forecast period, led by rapid urbanization and rapid industrialization. Increasing awareness of the benefits of UPVC and elements, such as rapid urbanization, regulatory framework, and rising concerns for energy saving, is expected to positively influence the use of this material in doors and windows in the Asia-Pacific region. The Asia-Pacific region is leading the industry, owing to rapid industrialization, an increasing number of automotive industries, and developments in electric and electronic industries. Advancements in technology, coupled with increased product innovations, are among the key factors supporting the demand for UPVC doors and windows in this region.
