Your first impression does last and the door of your home is the easiest and most vital way to make the last impression. From wooden doors to doors without handle and to contactless doors, the doors market has witnessed various trends. According to Allied Market Research, the global doors market is expected to reach $182.07 billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2019 to 2026. This is because of increased urbanization & industrialization, an increase in consumer spending on home remodeling, and incorporation of advanced technology in the residential sector.
At first, the focus while designing house doors was how it could be more aesthetic. However, the advent of technological advancements created new trends that keep safety & security and efficiency in mind. In addition, demand for contactless doors has boosted due to the Covid-19 pandemic, as door handles are most germ-infested objects in a house or workplaces. In fact, the advent of 3D printing into the doors industryopened new opportunities for risk prevention.
3D printed door handles and contactless doors:
3D printing offers an elegant, risk-free, and cost-effective way to manufacture products. 3D printing offers a way to install a door handle by fastening a few pieces together using screws. Moreover, the technology creates the door handle with all the required designs in less than 24 hours, offering freedom of design and flexibility that the conventional method can never give.
Apart from this, the recent outbreak of Covid-19 has taught us the importance of contactless systems. As contactless doors prevent thousands of people from touching the same door handle, the automatic doors gained unprecedented importance.
What’s more, the demand for automatic doors has skyrocketed not just in malls and restaurants, but in offices and hospitals. The automatic doors are now used as internal doors such as bathrooms and are combined with contactless buttons that are triggered by merely approaching one’s hand.
As pressing a few buttons or rotating doorknobs in public places would put you in harm’s way, automatic doors offer safety as well as efficiency. In addition, getting rid of opening knobs and buttons, automatic doors grant access to older people, people in a wheelchair, and children. Thanks to recent advancements in movement sensors, the automatic doors have become smarter than ever.
The automatic doors take safety in considerations. As the automation involves sophisticated systems and sensors, the automatic doors are used as fire protection doors. These doors close themselves in an event of a fire. In addition, during an emergency, these doors automatically close due to a smoke detector and a centralized system to prevent the spread of fire or smoke. The automatic doors can be equipped with fail-safe systems to ensure that the door open within seconds of the trigger or after the loss of power so that people can escape during an emergency.
The traditional concept of exterior and internal doors is now replaced by doors that offer minimal contact. The advancements in sensor technology and automation have open new opportunities for the doors market. In the future, the doors would be more intuitive and triggered by motion sensors.
