This population growth is a key driver for the demand for residential buildings. As per the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the demand for residential properties has seen a notable upswing in recent years, positioning India among the top 10 internationally appreciated housing markets. Notably, the Indian real estate sector attracted $5 billion in institutional investments in 2020 and accumulated $55.18 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from April 2000 to September 2022Moreover, the Investment Information and Credit Rating Agency (ICRA) reports a remarkable 11% year-on-year growth in the residential real estate sector in the fourth quarter of 2022. This surge in residential buildings is expected to propel the demand for both interior and exterior doors.
However, over the past few years, the prices of these raw materials have been fluctuating owing to a range of economic and political aspects, including mismatches in supply & demand. Government-led stringent laws, tariffs, and regulations against deforestation, metals, and other materials used in fire rated doors have declined the revenues and profits of the manufacturers to a greater extent. For instance, India alleges that China has been employing trade malpractices by availing raw materials such as glass and steel at an extremely non-competitive low cost, known as ‘dumping’. Therefore, in December 2020, India extended the anti-dumping duty on steel products from China, which was first imposed in 2015. Furthermore, owing to the lockdowns in China, and the Ukraine-Russia war, the prices of raw materials are fluctuating heavily. Hence, the unstable, and rise in prices of raw materials are anticipated to restrict the India fire rated metal doors market growth during the forecast period.
Moreover, technological advancements in fire-rated metal doors are marked by innovative features and materials that enhance their effectiveness in providing fire resistance and overall safety. A notable example is the integration of advanced materials, such as intumescent compounds, which enable doors to expand when exposed to heat. This expansion creates a protective barrier, sealing off openings and preventing the penetration of fire and smoke. Such technology significantly enhances the door's ability to withstand fire conditions, contributing to increased safety in buildings.
Moreover, continuous developments in door hardware and locking systems have led to the creation of more sophisticated and secure fire-rated metal doors. These doors not only meet stringent fire safety requirements but also incorporate enhanced security features. The growth potential in this sector is expansive, driven by the ongoing evolution of technology. As smart building technologies become more prevalent, there is an opportunity to integrate fire-rated metal doors into interconnected building management systems. These systems can enable real-time monitoring of door conditions, automatic activation of fire-resistant features, and seamless integration with emergency response systems. Additionally, the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly building solutions creates opportunities for the development of fire-rated doors using environment-friendly materials and incorporating energy-efficient features. In the context of evolving building designs that are more complex and diverse, customization becomes a viable option. Manufacturers can tailor fire-rated metal doors to specific architectural requirements while upholding the highest standards of fire protection. Technological advancements present promising growth opportunities, aligning with the rise in emphasis on safety, security, and sustainability in modern construction practices. These factors are expected to create lucrative prospects for the expansion of the fire-rated metal doors market.
