In 2025, the worldwide market for aluminum doors and windows was worth over 450 billion RMB. By 2030, it's expected to grow to about 607 billion RMB. Three main trends are changing the industry: energy efficiency, smarter technology, and recycling. These trends are driven by goals to reduce carbon emissions and new technology. Each major market is following its own path to develop in these areas.

I. Energy Efficiency Technology: From Policy-Driven to Standard Product Features
Progress is being driven by regional policies: Australia requires anti-condensation testing, North America encourages Energy Star certification, and the EU will implement 18 indicators under its Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) in 2026. China's new national standards have increased the thickness of outer window profiles to 1.8mm and set a K-value limit of 1.2 W/(m²·K) for frigid regions.

II. Intelligent Revolution: Dual Upgrades in Efficiency and User Experienc
● In terms of manufacturing, Greborn Doors & Windows' smart base achieves full-process automation, cutting labor costs by 80% and cutting the delivery cycle from 20 to 5 days. With an annual capacity of 2.2 million square meters, its Phase II plant has established itself as a world standard.
● Product-wise, premium intelligent aluminum doors and windows made up more than 15% of China's market in 2025, and exports increased by 35%. Greborn's IoT-enabled windows allow remote control, and their "Deep Comfort" series incorporates intelligent dimming and sound insulation.

III. Circular Economy: Implementation of Full Lifecycle Management
● With Europe setting the standard, aluminum is 100% recyclable. Greborn increased the number of Cradle-to-Cradle certified products from nine to eighteen models, attaining a recycling rate of over 95%; Greborn's full-chain recycling system lowers carbon emissions by 62%.
● Policies are establishing cutoff points: With an annual capacity of 1.5 million square meters, Greborn's four production bases meet the requirements of "Liaoning Provincial Green Factory"; China's new national standards require a minimum of 30% recycled aluminum content; and the EU will impose carbon taxes through its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in 2026.

IV. Regional Pattern: China Leading + Global Collaboration
● With China achieving an 8.5% annual growth rate—of which 60% is due to the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta—the Asia-Pacific region makes up 42% of the global market. By adjusting to Australia's wind resistance requirements and the EU's U-value requirements, brands such as Greborn are growing internationally.
● Southeast Asia and Africa see over 12% annual growth in imports, making them important layout areas; Europe and North America concentrate on high-end segments: Greborn holds 30% of the local high-end market, with product lifespans reaching 50 years.
"One of the most important questions of our time is energy efficiency." Aluminum doors and windows that incorporate energy efficiency, intelligence, and circularity have emerged as a crucial means of achieving architectural carbon neutrality, as the demand for green building certifications is predicted to surpass RMB 50 billion globally by 2030.
