Pocket Door Market - By Product, By Material, By End Use, By Distribution Channel, Forecast 2025 - 2034

Pocket Door Market Size

The global pocket door market size was valued at USD 9.4 billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow from USD 9.9 billion in 2025 to USD 15.1 billion in 2034, at a CAGR of 4.8%. Pocket doors are becoming more popular in both homes and businesses because they help save space. Unlike regular doors that swing open, pocket doors slide into a wall cavity, making them a great option for small spaces. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), 64% of builders included pocket doors in new homes in 2023, showing how much people appreciate their space-saving design.
 

These doors also give rooms a modern and simple look. When closed, they create a clean and neat appearance, unlike traditional doors that often have decorative frames or panels. Pocket doors not only improve the look of a room but also allow for flexible room layouts. When the doors are open, they slide completely into the wall, creating larger open spaces. This is especially useful in homes, offices, and commercial spaces where rooms need to be rearranged or opened up.
 

Pocket doors are easy to use, making them a good choice for places where doors are opened and closed often. They are also convenient for people of all ages and abilities, supporting the idea of universal design in modern architecture. In 2023, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) shared that 58% of architects recommended pocket doors for projects that focus on modern design and accessibility features.
 

Just like standard doors, pocket doors are also a form of entrance and exit that requires thorough installation checks for smooth sliding mechanism operation, and careful door panel alignment with the wall cavity. Installation mistakes can lead to customer issues such as misaligned or impossible to open and close doors, therefore increasing overall maintenance expenses. As with other mechanized system, regular maintenance is also needed for pocket doors to function properly for long periods. If not done timely, operational components such as rollers, tracks, and hinges can easily get worn-out or dirty causing impaired functionality.
