Analysts’ Viewpoint on Plantation Market Scenario
The North America plantation shutters market is significantly driven by the rise in spending on home improvement by homeowners. Plantation shutters are easy to maintain, long-lasting, and provide privacy and security. Demand for plantation shutters is expected to increase significantly owing to the rise in energy costs and growth in awareness about energy-saving initiatives. Plantation shutters also provide an insulated barrier to windows. This keeps out extreme hot and cold interior temperatures in summers and winters, which results in less usage of air conditioning and heating, and hence lower energy bills. Rise in demand for wooden shutters, which reduce around 51% of heat loss, is expected to create value-grab opportunities for plantation shutters manufacturers in North America.
Plantation shutters are the most popular window shutters or window coverings in North America. They are great additions to any home. Plantation shutters are available in different material types and cater to low to high-end budgets. Hence, they are a highly sought-after window treatment that add to the appraisal value of a home. Wood, vinyl, and composites are the major types of plantation shutters. Plantation shutters are extremely functional, provide privacy, and allow light to enter when desired. Their crisp and clean appearance adds a beautiful element to the space, which also increases the intrinsic value of the property. Rise in usage of plantation shutters in residential windows is a key factor that is expected to boost the plantation shutters market in North America during the forecast period.
Awareness about energy conservation has been increasing around the world since the last few years. Energy-efficient homes help save the environment. They also help save money for homeowners. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, around 30% of a home's heating energy is lost through the windows, and about 76% of the sunlight that falls on standard windows enters to become heat. This leads to energy loss and increase in energy bills. Window treatments such as blinds, shades, and curtains are made from material that does not insulate well. Most of the materials are porous. They leave a gap around the edge that lets in cold air during the winter. Hence, plantation shutters are being installed up against the frame of the window, including all four corners. This reduces the amount of light that might make its way into a room along the sides of blinds or curtains, thereby enabling a homeowner to completely control how much light enters a room.
Researchers have concluded that wooden shutters reduce heat loss by 51%, while composite shutters lower heat loss by 60%. In comparison to shutters, roller blinds reduce heat loss by 28% and curtains lower heat loss by just 14%. The energy efficiency of window treatment is measured in R-value. The higher the R-value, the slower the movement of heat, and therefore the insulation effect is greater. The typical R-value for no window covering is 0.75-1, and for blinds, it is 1.5-4. Based on material, the plantation shutter offers the maximum R-value of 3-6. This is expected to boost the market demand for plantation shutters in North America.
Plantation shutters have been rapidly gaining popularity in North America over the last few years. Plantation shutters are a child-friendly option in window treatment. They eliminate any dangling fabric or cords hanging from the window, making them a safer choice for the children’s bedroom window treatment as compared to curtains or blinds. According to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), a child between the ages of 7 months and 8 years old dies each month from window cord strangulation. Additionally, children suffer from injuries due to near strangulation. Windows Covering Manufacturers Association and Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) worked closely to propose a rule under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) that operating cords on custom window coverings must be cordless, inaccessible, or 8 inches or shorter in length in any use position. Many homeowners have gradually shifted to plantation shutters, which are a safe choice for households with children.
Based on material type, the North America plantation shutters market has been classified into wood, vinyl, and composites. The wood segment dominated the North America plantation shutters market with 46% share in 2021. Wood shutters have a high strength-to-weight ratio, making them incredibly light and strong. Wood can also be honed into various shapes and sizes, which makes it ideal for a wide range of window styles (including customized ones). Wood plantation shutters can be stained or painted, making it a highly versatile option. Therefore, demand for wood plantation shutters is estimated to rise considerably during the forecast period.
The popularity of composites based plantation shutters is also rising due to their resistance to weather and humidity. Composite plantation shutters are easier to maintain, able to retain their shape & color, and also resist chipping. Composites plantation shutters provide the highest reduction in heat loss of around 60%. These factors are projected to boost the popularity of composite plantation shutters, especially in the commercial sector, which includes offices and restaurants.
Plantation shutters provide a good esthetic appearance and an effective insulation layer to the property. Plantation shutters are designed in such a way that they seal right up against the window frame. This helps prevent inside air from escaping outside and outside air from entering the home. These interior shutter blinds are one of the best window coverings to keep heat out in the summer and cold out in the winter. Thus, shutters can reduce energy bills by lowering heat loss, controlling heat gain, and making the home more energy-efficient. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, US$ 27.4 Bn was spent by homeowners on door and window improvement between the 2017 and 2019, with a median expense of US$ 1,500. Plantation shutters can shut completely, blocking all light and sound, thus offering complete privacy. Plantation shutters provide additional security and make it harder for potential intruders. They are also the safest window treatment available for homes having small children. Rise in applications of window shutters or interior shutters in the residential sector creates significant opportunities for market players.
The North America plantation shutters services market comprises several small and large-scale service providers that control a majority of the market share.
