Hurricane protection products are systems and materials designed to protect structures and occupants from the damaging effects of hurricanes, including high winds, flying debris, and heavy rainfall. These products are commonly employed in coastal and storm-prone areas to improve building resilience, minimize repair costs, and ensure occupant safety during severe weather events.
The main categories of hurricane protection products include hurricane shutters, hurricane panels, hurricane fabric, impact-resistant windows and doors, among others. Hurricane shutters are protective coverings made from materials such as aluminum or steel that can be installed either permanently or temporarily over windows and doors. These products use a range of materials such as aluminum, steel, fabric, polycarbonate, and more. They are used in residential, commercial, government and institutional buildings, schools, hospitals, and emergency services, and are primarily utilized by homeowners, contractors, real estate developers, and government agencies.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.
The hurricane protection products market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides hurricane protection products market statistics, including the hurricane protection products industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with the hurricane protection products market share, detailed hurricane protection products market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the hurricane protection products market. This hurricane protection products market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The hurricane protection products market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.86 billion in 2024 to $2.02 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing consumer preference for long-term home safety solutions, rising insurance premiums encouraging proactive protection measures, growing commercial and institutional investments in storm protection systems, expanding construction activities, and the rise of e-commerce and contractor channels improving product accessibility.
The hurricane protection products market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.82 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth projected for the forecast period is driven by the increasing frequency and intensity of hurricanes and tropical storms, heightened awareness of climate change impacts and extreme weather events, growing demand for resilient and disaster-proof infrastructure, wider adoption of building codes requiring hurricane protection, and rising investments in coastal and storm-prone residential developments. Key trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in impact-resistant window and door technologies, innovations in lightweight yet durable storm protection materials, progress in automated and remote-controlled shutter systems, development of modular and customizable protection product designs, and improvements in fabric-based hurricane screens with high tensile strength.
The increasing frequency of storms is expected to drive the growth of the hurricane protection products market in the years ahead. Storms are powerful weather events characterized by strong winds, heavy rainfall, and sometimes thunder and lightning. As global temperatures rise due to climate change, more moisture accumulates in the atmosphere, leading to the formation of more severe storms. To reduce the risk of damage, hurricane protection products are employed to safeguard buildings from high winds and flying debris, thereby protecting structures and ensuring the safety of occupants. For example, in March 2024, the Environment Agency-a UK-based organization responsible for environmental protection-reported 14,318 storm overflow incidents in 2023, an increase from 13,313 events in 2022. Consequently, the growing number of storms is contributing to the expansion of the hurricane protection products market.
Leading firms in the hurricane protection products sector are investing in the development of innovative building access solutions, such as entrance and storefront systems, which enhance safety while allowing natural light into buildings. These products are architectural elements designed to provide secure and visually appealing access points for commercial and public facilities. For instance, in September 2024, Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope (OBE), a U.S.-based manufacturer of architectural hardware, introduced the StormMax Level E product range, featuring the FG-5750 and FG-5750T StormMax Storefront systems along with Rugged StormMax Entrances. These systems are engineered to comply with ASTM Large Missile Level E standards and use impact-resistant glass to deliver strong protection against severe storms and hurricane-force winds. Recognized as offering the highest level of industry safety certification, they are approved for critical facilities in Florida's High Velocity Hurricane Zones and wind zones 3 and 4 along the southeastern and southwestern coastlines. In addition to their durability, the StormMax Level E systems are designed to optimize natural daylight and provide wide, open views while maintaining high resistance to storms. They also support the use of laminated insulating glass, which boosts impact resistance and thermal performance through multiple durable layers.
In February 2022, Leaf Home Solutions, a home solutions provider based in the U.S., acquired Storm Tight Windows of Texas for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enables Leaf Home Solutions to broaden its presence in the home solutions sector and accelerate its overall growth strategy. Storm Tight Windows of Texas is a U.S.-based company specializing in the production of hurricane-rated impact windows and doors.
