The U.S. railing market size is expected to reach USD 8.04 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.9% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is attributed to the rising investments by the U.S. government in the construction of affordable residential homes. Moreover, a rising shift towards the adoption of eco-friendly products owing to increasing environmental concerns can also be attributed to the growth of the railing market in the U.S.
Wooden railings are not sustainable as their production leads to deforestation, but engineered wood railings are a highly environment-friendly substitute. These railings are made from wood scraps, shredded wood fibers, real wood binding pieces, and sawdust and have characteristics similar to wood but with increased strength and durability. This is expected to increase the demand for engineered railing in the coming years. Furthermore, metal railings are gaining prominence in the U.S. due to their aesthetic appeal, durability, and sturdiness. They also require less maintenance.
There have been growing advancements in the technologies, such as 3D laser scanners, has enabled the development of highly complex structures, making it easier to develop 3D designs that were previously manually developed. These designs can be visualized and changed to meet the needs of clients.
The market is expected to be hampered by the volatility of railing prices due to accessibility and location, as well as other factors such as style, design, material type, installation cost, and contractor. Cost-sensitive customers are expected to limit their demand for the product on new and renovation projects.
The railing market in the U.S. is highly competitive due to the presence of multiple large players in the market. Companies are focusing on acquiring local niche players to improve customer interaction and improve their market position. Collaborations, capacity growth, product development, mergers, and acquisitions are some of the strategies used by companies. Economies of scale in distribution often advantage these companies.
Market participants strive for a competitive edge through low prices, a diverse assortment of products, and quick turnaround times. Product availability is a key factor affecting sales, so players prefer to source their raw materials from multiple sources rather than relying on one supplier.
