Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The market is driven by a confluence of factors, including trends from Europe and emerging markets like India and Australia. Influenced by European design sensibilities, particularly from Italy and Spain, American consumers increasingly prioritize stylish window treatments such as curtains, drapes, and blinds. Retailers capitalize on this demand, offering a wide array of window shades to cater to diverse preferences. Additionally, the popularity of shutters, awnings, and other window shading solutions further fuels market growth. As the market evolves, manufacturers innovate to meet the demand for functional yet aesthetically pleasing blinds and shutters, sustaining the market's upward trajectory.
Rising demand for eco-friendly products is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The demand for organic and eco-friendly blinds is on the rise with rising concerns about the preservation of the environment. Currently, consumers prefer eco-friendly products as they are more aware of the adverse effects of different types of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used in blinds and shades. Some are also priced lower compared to vinyl and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) blinds. However, bamboo, which is natural and biodegradable, is increasingly being used to manufacture Roman shades and rollup, matchstick, and slat blinds. Also, bamboo can attain complete maturity in 35 years without the use of harsh chemicals or fertilizers and, thus, is an eco-friendly option for making blinds and shades.
In addition, manufacturers are also using specially formulated recycled materials for making blinds and shades. For example, GreenScreen Revive roller shades by Hunter Douglas NV (Hunter Douglas) comprise 89% Repreve fibers, which are made from 100% recycled materials. Therefore, the rising demand for eco-friendly products is expected to drive the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
The risk of strangulation is a significant challenge hindering the market growth. According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), blinds and shades that have attached cords can pose a strangulation risk to infants, toddlers, young children, and even pets. The cord loop or chains used in blinds and shades can slip out of the hold-down device, thereby posing a strangulation risk. According to the US Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC), since 1990, strangulation by window covering cords has resulted in more than 200 deaths in children and infants aged between six months to six years.
Moreover, due to the risk of strangulation in the past few years, there have been a couple of product recalls in the US. As these cords are risky, many consumers in the country who have infants, young children, or pets are reluctant to purchase these products, which can restrict the growth of the market. Such factors are expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

This segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 1,245.43 million in 2017. Metal or vinyl horizontal blinds are priced low and are available in a variety of colors and textures. They are the most popular type of blinds used in the country. These are mostly used in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements as they are durable, lightweight, and resistant to moisture. On the other hand, transparent sheer blinds allow a complete view from inside and aid in controlling the temperature of the room. Their commercial application is expected to increase with the increasing construction of new home offices, residential buildings, and commercial buildings. This, in turn, will drive the growth of this segment in the market during the forecast period.
