Sheet Metal, Window & Door Manufacturing in Canada industry analysis

Sheet metal, window and door manufacturers produce metal windows, doors, sheet metal and ornamental and architectural metal products. Performance is primarily determined by demand from downstream construction markets since these products are predominantly used in construction and repair work. Advanced plastic properties and capabilities have bolstered the popularity of substitute goods, like plastic doors and windows, for use instead of their metal counterparts. Industry volatility increased due to the pandemic, affecting construction markets. Strong growth in metal prices and demand from builders helped support industry activity in recent years. Revenue is forecast to grow a CAGR of 4.3% to $12.8 billion through the end of 2024, including 0.3% forecast growth during the current year. 

Trends and Insights

  • High input costs previously pressured profit. As pandemic-related disruptions ended, supply caught up, reducing these costs. This adjustment is expected to alleviate some of the financial strain on businesses.
  • Sheet metal products are the largest segment since they're used in nearly all phases of building construction and for improvements or repairs. A trend toward energy efficiency has propelled demand for this segment.
  • Proximity to the United States is important, as exports account for less than one-fifth of industry revenue. Since the United States represents the largest foreign market, having manufacturing facilities near the border may save on transportation costs.
  • Several tiers of products enable competition among manufacturers. Although steel is the most popular metal product, smaller manufacturers can succeed in the industry by using other metals in their products.
