Al doors, windows, frames and thresholds market in Belgium

Earlier Report Observations

The Belgian market for aluminium doors, windows, frames and thresholds began the period with active network expansion by key players like Kioneo, Tryba, and Grosfillex Fenêtres in 2018, supporting market activity. After a slight contraction in 2019, both production and market size recovered in 2020, initiating a sustained growth phase.

Growth continued through 2021 and 2022, and by 2023 the market was notably driven by energy-efficient renovation projects, which boosted demand for aluminium windows despite the dominance of PVC. Aluminium products consolidated their position as the second most used material by volume and the leader in value, supporting a rise in production to $784.1 million and market size to $798.7 million.

In 2024, production and market value declined to $716.7 million and $707.7 million respectively. This shift was influenced by regulatory tightening on carbon footprint and budget constraints that slowed new construction, while renovation remained the primary market driver. Innovations in smart technologies and products like Steellook aluminium frames continued to evolve, reflecting ongoing industry adaptation.
