Research Strategy
To get the global market size and the growth of the high-end windows and doors market, we started by searching market reports published by research firms like Gartner, Grand View Research, Euromonitor, Forrester, Allied Market Research, and IBISWorld among others. All the reports we got from this search talked about the general windows and doors market and not the high-end windows and doors market. We searched for the global market size and the growth of the luxury and premium windows and doors market but still we got results for the general market.
We expanded our search and looked at the construction industry. We wanted to get any report that talks about construction materials, especially windows and doors. We even went deeper and looked and the size of the construction industry for high-end buildings. We got several reports talking about the market size and growth rate but none talked about the size of the high-end windows and doors market.
We looked at major players in the global windows and doors market. These include Andersen Corporation, Pella Corporation, Eurocell Company, and YKK Corporation among others. These websites only have listings of the companies' products offerings. In addition, most companies are private and do not publish annual reports. We crawled the websites for any press releases on the high-end windows and doors market but none of the companies had such information.
Due to lack of data for the high-end windows and doors market, we expanded our research to look at the size and growth rate of the global windows and doors market. Our assumption was that the two market are closely related, driven by similar forces and likely to show similar trends.
