Several factors are driving this growth. One key driver is the increasing demand for energy-efficient buildings. This demand has led to more installations of energy-efficient windows and doors. The growth in residential construction and home improvement projects is also boosting the market. Urbanization and population growth are increasing the need for new residential and commercial spaces. The trend towards renovation and retrofitting of existing buildings is further enhancing market growth. Lastly, innovations in materials and designs, such as uPVC window systems, are attracting consumers looking for durable and aesthetically pleasing options.
