Door and window automation market seen topping $27 billion by 2030

The Business Research Company says the global door and window automation market is headed for $27.18 billion by 2030, driven by smart buildings, energy-efficiency demands and touchless access needs. Asia-Pacific and the U.S. are forecast to lead growth as automated pedestrian doors remain the largest segment.

Why it matters: - Door and window automation is moving from niche building equipment to a mainstream smart-building category. - The market’s projected climb to $27.18 billion by 2030 signals stronger demand for automated access, energy management and safety systems across residential, commercial and industrial sites. - Growth in this market also reflects broader spending on connected infrastructure, smart cities and building efficiency.

What happened: - The Business Research Company released its Door and Window Automation Global Market Report 2026, covering market size, trends and forecasts through 2035. - The report says the market will surpass $27 billion by 2030. - The report places door and window automation at about 3% of the projected $912 billion automation software market in 2030. - The report estimates the category at about 0.2% of the $13,788 billion information technology market in 2030.

The details: - Smart homes and intelligent building systems are a major growth driver because automated doors and windows can connect with IoT platforms, voice assistants and building management systems. - The report says connected infrastructure, smart cities and commercial construction add about 2.2% annually to market growth. - Energy efficiency and sustainability are another key demand driver because automated openings can help regulate ventilation, lighting and temperature. - The report says green building certifications and efficiency rules add about 2.1% yearly to growth. - Accessibility, safety and touchless operation are also supporting demand, especially for hygiene, mobility and emergency integration. - The report says those needs contribute about 2.0% to annual growth.

The details: - The market is split into automated industrial doors, automated pedestrian doors and automated windows. - Automated pedestrian doors are expected to dominate in 2030 with 46% of the market, equal to about $12 billion. - Airports, hospitals and commercial buildings are a major use case for pedestrian doors because they support contactless entry and smart access control. - Component categories include access control systems, control panels, sensors and detectors, motors and actuators, and other parts. - Application areas include residential, commercial, industrial, healthcare, transportation and infrastructure, hospitality and leisure, and retail and shopping centers.

Between the lines: - The forecast suggests the market is being shaped as much by regulation and building design as by convenience. - Automated openings are increasingly positioned as part of energy strategy, not just entry systems. - The concentration of growth in pedestrian doors shows that public-facing, high-traffic buildings are likely to remain the biggest early adopters. - The market remains moderately fragmented, which leaves room for specialized vendors even as large automation companies expand their footprint.

What's next: - Asia-Pacific is projected to lead the market in 2030 at $9 billion, up from $6 billion in 2025, with a 7% CAGR. - The U.S. is forecast to be the top country market at $7 billion in 2030, up from $5 billion in 2025, with a 6% CAGR. - Automated industrial doors, automated pedestrian doors and automated windows are expected to add more than $8 billion in value by 2030. - Automated industrial doors and pedestrian doors are each projected to add $3 billion, while automated windows are projected to add $2 billion. - The report says AI-powered access control, smart building management integration, sensor-driven automation, wireless connectivity and predictive maintenance will be key growth drivers. - Marvin launched smart door and window systems in January 2024 with automatic open and close functions and app-controlled temperature and humidity adjustments.

The bottom line: - Door and window automation is evolving into a core smart-building category, with growth tied to energy efficiency, touchless access and connected facility management. - In 2025, ASSA ABLOY AB led the market with a 6% share, and Honeywell International Inc. also held 6%. - Siemens AG held 3%, while Schneider Electric SE and ABB Ltd. each held 2%. - GEZE International GmbH, Johnson Controls International plc, Bosch Security Systems, Carrier Global Corporation and Nabtesco Corporation each held 1%. - The top 10 companies held 23% of market revenue in 2025. - Key players include ASSA ABLOY AB, Honeywell International Inc., Siemens AG, Schneider Electric SE, ABB Ltd., GEZE International GmbH, Johnson Controls International plc, Bosch Security Systems, Carrier Global Corporation and Nabtesco Corporation. - The Business Research Company also said its 2026 reports include market attractiveness scoring, TAM analysis, company scoring matrices, Excel-based forecasting dashboards and updated graphics and tables. - More information is available in the company’s announcement.
