Technological Advancements Provide Traction to the Automatic Door Market Expansion

The Internet of Things (IoT) market is one of the most rapidly developing in technology, and it has now entered the area of security and access control. Today, wireless networks can connect every automatic door system in a building to a centralised platform, collecting vital data on usage and tenant behaviour. These new capabilities provide architects, developers, and property owners an incredible opportunity to design first-class facilities that match the increasing demands of modern residents. Major market player like Assa Abloy Entrance Systems is taking the next step in the Internet of Things revolution by enabling their gadgets to connect and interact over the Internet. With a variety of configurable features and configurations for each door, these versatile and modular line of automated door systems can be tailored to any business, regardless of the surroundings.

Moreover, the growth of the Internet of Things has coincided with the rise of sensors in recent years. Sensor-based activation removes the requirement for physical touch or manual interaction with the door, offering users with a hands-free and seamless experience. Sensor-based activation assures the safe and efficient functioning of automated doors. It is gaining popularity owing to its touchless operation, which helps limit the danger of cross-contamination and pathogen spread. As a result, sensor-based activation is a popular alternative for hospitals and laboratories. All of these factors will drive market expansion throughout the forecast period.

Rising Demand for Automatic Door Systems is Boosting the Market Growth

Commercial buildings, airports, train stations, hospitals, retail malls, and educational institutions all demand efficient and secure access systems, and automatic doors meet these specifications. Improved sensors, complex control systems, and networking options in automatic door technologies have made these doors more dependable, efficient, and user-friendly.

High Costs and Maintenance are Likely to be a Challenge for the Market Development

Despite the number of significant elements found in the automated door market, certain aspects are expected to impede the expansion of the concerned market and prevent its growth during the forecast period. High initial costs are a major impediment to the expansion of the international automated door business. Furthermore, the automated door market's growth is hampered by high maintenance and repair costs, as well as lesser automation demands in small and emerging economies. Furthermore, rising raw material costs such as metal and glass are preventing builders and owners from installing such automated doors, creating a barrier to the overall growth of the automatic door industry.

Business Expansions and Acquisitions are Providing Lucrative Growth Opportunities for the Market Progress

Numerous leading companies which dominate the industry are focusing on R&D projects to boost performance by combining cutting-edge technology. They are also employing market strategies such as contracts, new product releases, company expansions, collaborations, and acquisitions in order to gain a global market share advantage.  For example, in March 2023, in an effort to optimise its footprint and better serve customers, Stanley Black & Decker announced changes to its manufacturing and distribution network, including U.S. site expansions, site transformations into manufacturing centres of excellence, and site consolidation, as part of its business transformation strategy launched in 2022.

Again, in March 2023, Rite-Hite Holding Corporation, located in Milwaukee, had completed the acquisition of Alpha Door Systems and King Materials Handling, both of which have locations in London and Windsor, Ontario, Canada. This acquisition was the part of an expanding Rite-Hite network of sales and service providers, which currently includes over 65 locations in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia. In addition, in November 2019, ASSA ABLOY committed to acquire AM Group, an Australian industrial door manufacturer that specialised in entrance automation. This acquisition strengthened the company’s product portfolio as well as regional reach in Australia by incorporating their robust product line, which includes rolling steel doors and bi-fold doors, into ASSA ABLOY's commercial network, technologies, and competencies.
