Automatic Door Market – By Door Type, By Function, By End-use, By Distribution Channel– Global Forecast, 2024 – 2032

Automatic Door Market Size

The global automatic door market size was estimated at USD 8.9 billion in 2023. The market is expected to grow from USD 9.2 billion in 2024 to USD 12.7 billion in 2032, at a CAGR of 4.1%. Technological advancements are transforming the market, improving functionality, efficiency, and user experience. The integration of IoT and AI enables automatic doors to communicate effectively with building management systems, allowing for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance.
 

For instance, Dormakaba's IoT-enabled doors offer remote diagnostics, which significantly reduce downtime and enhance operational efficiency. According to the Automatic Door Suppliers Association, touchless technology has gained substantial traction post-pandemic. Motion sensors and facial recognition systems now provide contactless operation, particularly in healthcare facilities and high-traffic public spaces.
 

In the automatic door market, the integration of smart building technology is a pivotal trend. This integration facilitates smooth connectivity with building management systems (BMS), aiming to boost efficiency, security, and user experience. Automatic doors, when paired with IoT and AI, can interact with HVAC systems, lighting, and access controls. This interaction not only optimizes energy consumption but also streamlines overall operations.
 

High initial costs present a significant challenge in the market, driven by advanced technology, specialized materials, and the need for expert installation. Components such as motion sensors, AI-driven systems, and energy-efficient materials substantially increase upfront expenses. For instance, the installation of a high-end automatic revolving door with smart features can range from USD 10,000 to USD 20,000, depending on customization and scale. According to the Automatic Door Suppliers Association, these costs can deter small businesses from adopting these systems. However, the long-term benefits, including energy savings, reduced maintenance, and enhanced security, often justify the investment.
