03 Trends & forecasts
Top 10 Commercial Door Industry Trends & Forecasts 2027
What is changing in the commercial door industry, with the evidence behind each trend and a forecast for 2027.
Forecasts were generated by an AI model from the cited evidence. They are estimates, not guarantees.
01Commercial construction demand stays uneven
High confidenceU.S. nonresidential construction spending was $742.4 billion in 2025, down 3.1% from 2024, while August 2026 nonresidential spending reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $773.0 billion, up 1.0% from July. This points to a soft but stabilizing construction base for commercial-door demand.[78]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, commercial-door demand should grow modestly rather than accelerate sharply, with replacement and public-sector work offsetting uneven private development. Volume growth of roughly 2%–4% is plausible.
02Replacement demand outpaces new construction
High confidenceThe U.S. commercial market accounted for approximately 8.5 million commercial doors and 49 million hardware components in 2025, with combined demand nearly 4% above 2024. More than five million U.S. commercial buildings create a large installed base requiring maintenance, code upgrades, security retrofits and technology replacements.[44]
Forecast 2027: Replacement, repair and retrofit work should remain the most resilient demand source in 2027. Hardware, operators, access-control components and fire-door upgrades are likely to grow faster than doors supplied for ground-up construction.
03Data centers lift specialized door demand
High confidenceU.S. private nonresidential construction spending included $49.7 billion in data-center construction in 2025, including $27.2 billion in the South and $13.1 billion in the Midwest. These facilities require high-security, fire-rated, acoustic, blast-resistant and controlled-access openings.[78]
Forecast 2027: Data-center construction should remain a major 2027 demand driver for high-cycle, secure, fire-rated and specialty doors. The strongest gains should occur in projects tied to artificial-intelligence infrastructure and hyperscale expansion.
04Healthcare and education remain durable segments
High confidenceIn 2025, U.S. public construction spending reached $516.8 billion, with educational construction at $113.0 billion, up 0.5% from 2024. Private medical-building construction totaled $23.2 billion, while public healthcare spending in October 2025 was 6.5% above the prior year.[78]
Forecast 2027: Healthcare and education should provide comparatively stable 2027 demand for durable, accessible, hygienic, fire-rated and security-oriented openings. Growth is likely to be steadier than in office construction.
05Office weakness redirects product mix
High confidenceU.S. office construction spending was $104.3 billion in 2025, including $49.7 billion in data centers; general office construction accounted for $51.0 billion. Separately, October 2025 public office construction was 7.8% below October 2024, indicating continued pressure on conventional office projects.[78]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, conventional office openings should remain weaker than data-center, healthcare, education and renovation applications. Suppliers will increasingly emphasize retrofit packages, flexible partitions, access control and conversion-related products.
06Door prices remain elevated
High confidenceAllegion Americas revenue increased 6.9% in 2025, but the company attributed the change to 3.6% pricing, 1.6% volume and 1.8% acquisitions. The result shows that pricing and mix continued to contribute more to growth than underlying volume.[70]
Forecast 2027: Commercial-door pricing should continue rising in 2027, but at a slower rate than during the sharpest inflationary period. Higher-specification products, labor-intensive installation and specialty materials should preserve average selling prices even if basic-door inflation moderates.
07Smart access control gains share
High confidenceAllegion reported 2025 revenue of $4.07 billion and described increasing adoption of mobile technology and interconnected environments requiring interoperable partner ecosystems. Its portfolio includes electronic security, access-control systems, software and service solutions for commercial and institutional facilities.[3]
Forecast 2027: By 2027, electronic locks, mobile credentials, wireless readers and cloud-managed access should capture a larger share of commercial-door value. Mechanical hardware will remain important, but new projects will increasingly specify integrated access-control capabilities.
08Automatic doors expand in high-traffic buildings
Medium confidenceAllegion highlights automatic-door operators such as the LCN Senior Swing and serves healthcare, hospitality, retail, education and commercial-office customers. These applications benefit from touchless movement, accessibility requirements, traffic management and labor-saving automation.[70]
Forecast 2027: Automatic operators, sliding doors and sensor-equipped entrances should continue gaining share in 2027, especially in healthcare, airports, retail and institutional buildings. Growth will be strongest where accessibility, hygiene and throughput justify higher installed cost.
09Fire-door compliance becomes more service-intensive
High confidenceThe 2025 edition of NFPA 80 adds or revises requirements covering inspection, testing and maintenance, including special-purpose horizontally sliding, accordion and folding doors, excessive clearances, closing devices and horizontal fire-door assemblies. NFPA 80 is referenced by NFPA 101 and building and fire codes.[68]
Forecast 2027: In 2027, inspection, documentation, repair and recertification services should grow alongside fire-door product sales. Compliance-sensitive buyers will place greater value on labeled assemblies, qualified inspection and lifecycle records.
10Security specifications move upmarket
High confidenceAllegion’s 2025 filing identifies heightened security and privacy requirements and a shift toward digital, interconnected environments. Its commercial portfolio spans electronic security, access control, doors, glass and door systems, and software and service solutions.[3]
Forecast 2027: Demand in 2027 should shift toward higher-value openings combining doors, frames, locks, readers, monitoring and software. High-security, blast-resistant, bullet-resistant, acoustic and vault applications should outperform commodity products.
