US Garage & Overhead Doors

US Garage & Overhead Doors

US demand for residential garage and commercial overhead doors is forecast to increase 1.1% per year to $4.6 billion in 2026, a significant deceleration from the 2016-2021 period. Market value growth will be restrained by a moderation in prices from high 2021 and 2022 levels that resulted from supply chain issues and price spikes for raw materials such as aluminum, steel, wood, and PVC. Growth will primarily derive from healthy gains in unit terms, which will be supported by:

• solid gains in commercial building construction and renovation activity
• ongoing spending to update garage and overhead doors with newer models that offer improved performance and/or aesthetic advantages

Homeowners Increasingly Seek Garage Doors with More Glass & Insulation

Garage door manufacturers are expanding their product offerings to include doors with more windows and window options, such as new designs and colors and larger glazed panels. Suppliers are responding to homeowners’ growing interest in garage doors that impart contemporary aesthetics while enhancing interior daylighting.

Other value-added features include enhanced durability, wind load resistance, and insulation. Many homeowners are upgrading to more energy-efficient insulated garage doors that can help lower utility bills. The growing trend of using garages as alternative exercise, storage, workshop, or office spaces has also boosted demand for doors that offer better temperature and sound insulation.

Growth Opportunities for Overhead Doors with Enhanced Durability & Fast Opening Speeds

Competitors in the commercial overhead door market are encouraging building owners to invest in doors that feature enhanced durability, security, and thermal insulation. Suppliers are also expanding overhead door style options, such as to include the aluminum-frame models with glass panels that see strong demand in eating and drinking establishments.

A small, but growing, segment of the overhead door market consists of industrial fabric and rubber doors that open and close at rapid speeds. The springless designs of these high-speed doors also reduce maintenance requirements and improve product lifespan.
