Blind & Shade Manufacturing in the US - Industry Research Report

Blinded by lights: Volatility in commodity prices is expected to cause a stagnation in industry profit

Despite growth in domestic demand, the Blind and Shade Manufacturing industry has declined while entering 2023. Similar to other producers of household goods, the industry has experienced volatility during the period. While building markets have grown strongly since the previous economic downturn, consumers have remained fiscally hesitant, looking for ways to cut costs. Many existing homeowners have not upgraded blinds and shades while some new homebuyers have opted for less expensive imports, stunting growth even as construction markets have risen.

Operators in this industry manufacture window coverings, including Venetian and other window blinds, shades, curtain and drapery rods and poles and other related fixtures. After production, window furnishings are distributed to wholesalers, retailers and contract outfitters. From there, they are sold to residential, commercial and institutional markets. Curtains and draperies are excluded from this industry.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
