Key Findings
* Private participants in the $22.2 billion US window and door industry are
most active in the wood segment, often supplying patio doors and a variety of
wood window styles.
* Three of the four top producers of windows and doors in the US in 2000
were private firms and, along with two other private leaders, controlled 25
percent of the market.
* In addition to the five leading private companies, two other private
firms had window and door sales in excess of $300 million, and 16 additional
private players posted related sales of over $100 million.
* Smaller private producers are able to compete by serving regional markets
and/or specializing in certain products such as garage doors, storm doors,
skylights, and window and door components.
* Reflecting the industry's consolidation trend, three leading private
companies expanded via acquisitions since mid-1999, and/or were involved in
divestitures that contributed to the industry's shift toward vinyl products.
* US demand for windows and doors is forecast to increase 2.1 percent
annually to $24.6 billion in 2005.
