Abstract
Demand to register doubledigit gains through 2011
Demand for windows and doors in China is projected to rise 11 percent per
annum through 2011 to 195 billion yuan, outpacing growth in most other parts
of the world. Growth will be driven by healthy gains in building construction
activity as industrialization efforts continue and income levels rise.
Increasing demand for larger living space, further privatization of home
ownership, sustained strength in foreign investment, and a rapidly expanding
domestic consumer market will also contribute to fenestration product market
gains.
Plastic will outpace metal and wood
Plastic windows and doors will continue to make inroads at the expense of
metal and wood products through 2011. Plastic materials have rivaled both
metal and wood in the residential market, primarily benefitting from their
high energy efficiency, low maintenance requirements and relatively low cost.
Plastic' s rapid rise in the Chinese fenestration market is also partly due to
strong support from the government. Demand for metal products will post slower
yet still healthy growth. Despite market share loss to plastic, metal will
remain as the dominant window and door material in China.
