Aluminium Market Share Rises in UK Fabrication Sector

Aluminium market share in the UK glazing industry has grown significantly, with more fabricators and installers expanding their offering to include aluminium products. This reflects a clear shift in market behaviour, driven by increasing homeowner demand and innovation in product design.

According to data from Insight Data, which operates the live Fenestration Database, the number of aluminium installers in the UK has increased sharply since 2023. This includes a growing number of PVCu specialists diversifying into aluminium to stay competitive.

Installers and Fabricators Are Backing Aluminium

In 2023, the Fenestration Database recorded around 4,225 active aluminium installers. By early 2025, that number had risen to 4,940, a growth rate of over 16% in less than two years. Many of these businesses have added aluminium bi-folds, windows, and glazed roofs to their existing portfolios.

This growing aluminium market share is directly linked to consumer trends. Homeowners are seeking slimmer frames, contemporary finishes, and greater durability, all of which align with aluminium’s core benefits.

Why the Aluminium Market is Growing

Shift in consumer preference: Aluminium is seen as a premium option for modern homes.
Installer demand: Trade customers want to offer both PVCu and aluminium ranges.
Market education: More homeowners now understand the benefits of aluminium.
Thermal efficiency improvements: Modern aluminium systems compete with PVCu on U-values.

As a result, fabricators supplying only PVCu risk missing out. Many are now investing in aluminium lines or forging trade relationships with dedicated aluminium manufacturers.
