Wood doors, their frames and thresholds market in Italy

Earlier Report Observations

The Italian wood doors market began the period at a high of 944 million USD in 2018, supported by a recovery in the construction sector which boosted demand. However, market volume contracted sharply to 618 million USD in 2019 and then stabilized around 617 million USD in 2020.

Following a significant rebound to 931 million USD in 2021, the market experienced fluctuations, declining to 737 million USD in 2022, growing to 892 million USD in 2023, and decreasing to 741 million USD in 2024. The 2023 expansion was aided by the adoption of innovative materials such as WPC (wood-plastic composite) and high-quality glued laminated timber frames, which offered durable and sustainable solutions. In 2024, the contraction was linked to an 8-16% drop in residential building orders and a reduction in tax incentives for construction, although public infrastructure investments under the PNRR plan provided some offset. Throughout these years, shifting consumer preferences towards natural and sustainable materials like MDF continued to influence the market.
