Description

The U.S. millwork market is poised for substantial growth, with its value projected to surge from USD 12.5 billion in 2024 to USD 18.4 billion by 2032, advancing at a CAGR of 5.1% during 2025-2032. This upward trend is powered by a robust increase in construction and remodeling activities across the nation. Substantial government investments under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the CHIPS and Science Act are further propelling market momentum.

Major industry players, such as Builders FirstSource, JELD-WEN, and Woodgrain, are making significant strides to enhance production capabilities and distribution efficiency. As demand for high-quality wooden elements rises in both new constructions and renovation projects, manufacturers are increasingly adopting CNC machining, 3D modeling, and other advanced technologies to meet the evolving preferences of residential and commercial consumers. In parallel, sustainability initiatives are gaining ground, with many businesses integrating reclaimed and engineered wood into their offerings to meet eco-conscious consumer expectations.

Commercial customers represent the fastest-growing segment, driven by increasing investments in energy-efficient and secure commercial spaces.

Doors and windows hold the largest share (60%) in the product segment due to their critical role in enhancing insulation, safety, and visual appeal in residential and commercial buildings.

Cabinetry and casework is the fastest-growing product category, benefiting from the rising popularity of customized storage solutions and modern kitchen aesthetics.

Solid wood leads the material segment with a 70% share, favored for its durability, classic visual appeal, and multiple refinishing potential, which enhances long-term value.

Engineered wood is the fastest-growing material type, fueled by its eco-friendliness, affordability, and superior structural stability.

The residential application category captures a commanding 75% market share. The increasing trend of personalized, handcrafted interiors-alongside growing renovation spending-continues to boost demand in this space.
