Synthèse
Since 2020, the French window market has demonstrated various trends. PVC continues to dominate sales, accounting for almost 60% of all windows sold, while aluminum follows with over 30%. The number of companies in the wood and PVC joinery market increased by 9.3%, reaching 20,024, and employment in the sector saw a 14.9% increase to 101,564 employees. In contrast, the metal window and door manufacturing market experienced a 6.2% decrease in the number of companies, yet employee numbers grew by 7%. The Pays de la Loire region emerged as the leading producer of window frame materials, particularly PVC and aluminum. Despite global uncertainties, key companies remain active with noteworthy sales figures; for instance, Lapeyre reported 14.93 million euros in 2021 and Saint-Gobain had a significant 51.2 billion euros by 2022. Such growth has been fueled by state aids like the ELAN law and renovations that often involve replacing wood with PVC in the dynamic construction and housing market.
French Window Market Dynamics: A Comprehensive Overview
The French window market has witnessed several ups and downs in the past decade, accompanied by notable trends and regulatory changes that influence both demand and production. The period from 2010 to 2015 marked a decline in window sales, as volumes dropped from over 1,000,000 units to around 900,000 units. However, the market began to make a gradual recovery in 2015, showing resilience and growth, particularly in 2021 with sales volumes exceeding 11,000,000 units. PVC dominates the market, accounting for nearly 60% of all windows sold, with aluminum trailing behind at over 30%.
The window market's growth is closely linked to the construction industry trends, where both non-residential and residential construction play pivotal roles in driving demand for window installations. After a peak in local authorizations and a spike in the number of homes built around 2018, a subsequent decline was observed, indicating a possible saturation or a shift in market dynamics.
In terms of pricing, average window costs have been on the rise, with 2017 prices around €480, with an estimated average price reaching approximately €534 by 2021. This increment in prices squares with the steady growth in market size, which approached six billion euros in 2021.
The sustainable development and energy efficiency drive in the industry are underscored by the strict thermal regulations imposed on new buildings, known as RT 2012 and RT Existant, which set forth minimum standards for thermal transmittance and solar factor.
Reflecting on the industry's structure, the number of wood and PVC joinery companies grew by over 9% between 2017 and 2022, indicating a consolidated market with an even greater increase in employee numbers, signifying an expansion in company sizes. In international trade, the French window market has seen a steady increase in imports across various materials from steel to aluminum, suggesting growing domestic demand not entirely met by local production.
Exports have remained relatively stable with slight increases, with coverage rate maintaining a consistent level across different materials. With the segmentation of companies, names like Lapeyre, Tryba, and KparK are prominent in the wooden window segment, while Saint-Gobain stands out in PVC window manufacturing. These companies have reported sales figures ranging from several million to over 50 billion euros.
Examining the French regions, Pays de la Loire is the frontrunner in window frame material production, contributing approximately 20% to the national production.

1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
Windows are designed to open buildings up to the outside world: most are made of PVC, but they can also be made of aluminum or wood. Most window sales take place during the construction or renovation of buildings.
The window market experienced strong growth between 2000 and 2008, but is now running out of steam until 2016: the market declined by more than 16% from 2008 to 2016. In 2016, sales recovered and growth resumed, with +3% recorded over the year, with more than 10 million units sold. 2021 was a record year for sales volume, with over 11 million windows sold. PVC accounts for almost 2/3 of the market, ahead of aluminum and wood. Window installation in the new-build market accounts for a quarter of the market, while the rest is taken up by renovation, often replacing wood with PVC. This dynamic market rebound is partly due to the upturn in the housing and construction market in recent years. In recent years, this renewed dynamism has made itself felt.
The market is shared between a few large French companies, generally with a European or even global reach. Competition between the different types of material seems to be established geographically. Aluminum is more successful in the South, wood in the West and PVC in the East and Paris region.
Strategies are based on reducing production costs, but also on developing innovative products that reduce environmental impact by minimizing energy loss through windows.
In 2013, the government's decision to no longer include window renovations in tax deductions worried professionals, as the negative consequences were expected immediately : however, since 2017, numerous state aids have enabled the market to recover (ELAN law, energy transition law, tax credits, etc.). In addition, let's highlight the technological challenge of offering innovative windows such as connected windows that can easily manage ventilation.
