Eastern Europe is Reliable Market for Profile Machines

The global market for profile machines for window and door production was €896.9 million in 2020, 0.7% lower than in 2019. This market experienced strong growth in the last few years before the pandemic and was not hit as hard as other sectors. The market will also catch up quickly once the crisis is over, as a new study by Interconnection Consulting shows. 

Europe Leads the Way out of the Crisis

The global market for profile machines for window and door production is linked to the sales situation and the development of the window market. In Europe, the CEE region has seen itself as a motor for the industry in recent years. The region is responsible for 30.1% of the global output of profile machines. The growth of the industry in this region was up to ten per cent in the years before Corona, also due to the demand for PVC machines from Germany. In 2019, the CEE region displayed a growth of around seven per cent. While the outlook for the European markets is good even after the crisis with good expected growth rates, the other side of the Atlantic is in for less rosy times. Growth in the NAFTA region as well as in Latin America will be less dynamic than in Europe. In Asia, China is the clear market leader with a share of over 70 per cent. The young market for profile machines in Asia is still dominated by local manufacturers. Growth rates in the Asia-Pacific region were 7.2% in 2019, the highest in the world. The market there benefits not only from cheaper production costs, but also from rising quality standards and network effects between window and profile manufacturers. Of the three machine types (PVC, aluminium, steel), PVC has the greatest growth potential for the future and the largest market share with over 60 percent. One driver for PVC profile machines is the Chinese window market, where PVC is the most popular window frame material.

New Global Players from China

The market for profile machines is highly concentrated. The top ten companies worldwide occupy more than 50 percent (56.9%) of the world market. The market is dominated by European companies and here again mainly by German companies like Urban, Rotox, Schirmer and Italian companies like Voilàp, FOM Group or Graf Synergy, the Italian PVC specialist. Apart from other big European players, there are only US companies and Turkish manufacturers that are involved in the world market. Also in China, after dominating their local market, some manufacturers are trying to jump into the global market like Zhongwang or Xingfa, which will make competition tougher worldwide in the future.
