Aluminium Door and Window Manufacturing in Australia industry analysis

Aluminium door and window manufacturers have faced numerous challenges over recent years, with the foremost being declining revenue. Even so, revenue spiked in 2021-22 as a low cash rate stimulated economic spending. Non-residential buildings and commercial industrial construction particularly drove this demand, offering a bright spot for manufacturers. The easing of COVID-19 borders restrictions in 2022-23 helped supply chains recover and simplified overseas procurement, boosting imports of aluminium doors and windows, particularly from countries that can offer products at lower prices. The return of price-based competition once again dampened revenue, offsetting the previous year's gains.
Crumbling sales to residential building construction firms, which represent a key market, have put pressure on aluminium door and window manufacturers. Even so, sales to construction firms involved in multi-unit apartments and townhouses, and commercial and non-residential building have expanded, providing some support for manufacturers. But greater demand from these markets has lifted overall performance, but not enough to return revenue to growth. Revenue is expected to decline at an annualised 2.4% over the five years through 2023-24, to $4.7 billion. Revenue is anticipated to continue to plummet by 4.0% in the current year, as demand from residential building construction weakens. Despite a surge in aluminium prices, manufacturers have preserved profit margins by passing on these costs to customers by raising aluminium door and window prices. Pandemic-induced supply shortfalls have also driven this trend.
Moving forward, the Australian economy will continue to recover, generating greater demand from downstream construction sectors. Rising demand from commercial, industrial and townhouse construction markets are influencing future growth for aluminium door and window manufacturers. Industry revenue is forecast to edge upwards at an annualised 0.6% through the end of 2028-29, to $4.9 billion. But competing imports are set to expand at the same time, as the strengthening Australian dollar makes imports relatively more affordable.

Trends and Insights

  • Downstream sales to industrial and commercial construction firms have been expanding. The commercial construction sector has been resuming normal operations post-pandemic, increasing demand for aluminium doors and windows.
  • Garage doors and shutters have been generating less revenue. Plummeting demand from house construction has heavily cut back sales of this product segment.
  • The states along the eastern seaboard are home to the largest number of aluminium door and window manufacturers. This is mainly due to their dense populations and proximity to major construction sectors.
  • Small manufacturers remain prevalent in aluminium door and window manufacturing. The market remains fragmented due to the significant presence of small-scale manufacturers.
