Wood doors, their frames and thresholds market in Ireland

Earlier Report Observations

The wood doors market in Ireland grew from $91.3 million in 2018 to $99.2 million in 2019, supported by rising European demand for wooden doors which strengthened Ireland's position in regional imports. This expansion was interrupted in 2020 when the market contracted to $72.8 million.

A recovery followed, with the market peaking at $106.0 million in 2022 before moderating to $102.9 million in 2023 and $94.9 million in 2024. The latter year saw the implementation of major regulatory updates, including the Building Regulations (Part B Amendment) 2024 and the revised Technical Guidance Document B, which introduced stricter fire safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency standards for doors. These changes, along with growing consumer preference for sustainable products, influenced market conditions during the period.
