Al doors, windows, frames and thresholds market in Denmark

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, production of aluminium doors, windows, frames and thresholds in Denmark fluctuated, starting at 139.8 million USD in 2018. The growth in 2018 was driven by the emergence of new segments for high-efficiency fenestration products, prompted by EU energy performance directives, and increased consumer preference for energy-efficient and prefabricated systems. After a decline in 2019, production recovered to 140.6 million USD in 2020. A significant rise to 148.2 million USD in 2021 coincided with a 34% increase in imports of aluminium doors and windows in Europe, which improved product availability on the Danish market, and continued demand for sustainable products under EU Green Deal initiatives.

Market volume peaked at 168.3 million USD in 2022, then decreased to 146.1 million USD in 2023 and stabilized at 143.3 million USD in 2024. This decline occurred amid US Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminium, which raised component costs and affected supply chains. Simultaneously, European exports of aluminium doors and windows fell by 25.3% by 2024, limiting export opportunities. Regulatory requirements such as the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive continued to drive demand for high-performance products, while leading manufacturers including VELUX Group implemented emissions reduction and circular economy pilots.
