Hurricane Protection Products Market Report 2026

The hurricane protection products market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.02 billion in 2025 to $2.2 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising hurricane frequency and severity, growing residential coastal construction, increased adoption of reinforced building materials, expansion of commercial infrastructure in storm-prone areas, rising government regulations on building resilience.

The hurricane protection products market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.05 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable storm protection products, growth in automated production of shutters and panels, rising investment in smart impact-resistant solutions, development of high-performance protective materials, expansion of regional manufacturing capabilities. Major trends in the forecast period include development of AI-assisted storm impact simulations, adoption of sustainable hurricane-resistant materials, integration of smart manufacturing for storm products, use of robotics in product testing and installation, expansion of connected hurricane protection systems.

The increasing frequency of storms is expected to drive the growth of the hurricane protection products market in the years ahead. Storms are powerful weather events characterized by strong winds, heavy rainfall, and sometimes thunder and lightning. As global temperatures rise due to climate change, more moisture accumulates in the atmosphere, leading to the formation of more severe storms. To reduce the risk of damage, hurricane protection products are employed to safeguard buildings from high winds and flying debris, thereby protecting structures and ensuring the safety of occupants. For example, in March 2024, the Environment Agency - a UK-based organization responsible for environmental protection - reported 14,318 storm overflow incidents in 2023, an increase from 13,313 events in 2022. Consequently, the growing number of storms is contributing to the expansion of the hurricane protection products market.

Leading firms in the hurricane protection products sector are investing in the development of innovative building access solutions, such as entrance and storefront systems, which enhance safety while allowing natural light into buildings. These products are architectural elements designed to provide secure and visually appealing access points for commercial and public facilities. For instance, in September 2024, Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope (OBE), a U.S.-based manufacturer of architectural hardware, introduced the StormMax Level E product range, featuring the FG-5750 and FG-5750T StormMax Storefront systems along with Rugged StormMax Entrances. These systems are engineered to comply with ASTM Large Missile Level E standards and use impact-resistant glass to deliver strong protection against severe storms and hurricane-force winds. Recognized as offering the highest level of industry safety certification, they are approved for critical facilities in Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zones and wind zones 3 and 4 along the southeastern and southwestern coastlines. In addition to their durability, the StormMax Level E systems are designed to optimize natural daylight and provide wide, open views while maintaining high resistance to storms. They also support the use of laminated insulating glass, which boosts impact resistance and thermal performance through multiple durable layers.

In October 2024, MITER Brands, a U.S.-based manufacturer of high-performance windows and doors, completed the acquisition of PGT Innovations for $3.1 billion. This acquisition was intended to broaden MITER Brands’ product portfolio and reinforce its position in the hurricane protection products market. PGT Innovations is a U.S.-based company specializing in impact-resistant windows and doors designed to safeguard homes and buildings from extreme weather events such as hurricanes.

Major companies operating in the hurricane protection products market are Ply Gem Holdings Inc., Andersen Corporation, MITER Brands LLC, Custom Window Systems Inc., YKK AP America Inc., Eco Window Systems LLC, Storm Smart Building Systems LLC, QMI Security Solutions Inc., Assura Windows and Doors LLC., Armor Screen Corp, Roll-a-way Storm and Security Shutters Inc., Croci North America Inc., Alufab USA LLC, Eastern Architectural Systems LLC, A&A International, Alutech United, Flood Panel LLC, Hurricane Fabric LLC, Atlas Armor Hurricane Screens Inc., and Rollshield LLC.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the hurricane protection products market by increasing costs for imported aluminum, steel, polycarbonate panels, and high-strength fabrics used in shutters, panels, and impact-resistant windows and doors. Residential, commercial, and government buildings in hurricane-prone regions such as North America, the Caribbean, and Asia-Pacific are most affected. However, tariffs are promoting local material sourcing, regional manufacturing of storm protection systems, and innovation in high-performance and sustainable products, strengthening supply chain resilience and product availability.
