The industry's net profit margin and return on equity are expected to continue to optimize.

In 2026, the global iron security window industry is witnessing steady growth driven by policy supervision, market demand upgrading, and technological innovation. With the deepening of urbanization and the increasing awareness of residential security among residents, iron security windows, as a core component of building safety protection systems, have shifted from a single functional product to a comprehensive solution integrating safety, energy conservation, intelligence, and aesthetics. According to the latest industry report released by Beijing Boyan Zhishang Information Consulting Co., Ltd., the global market size of the iron security window industry is expected to reach 13.79 billion yuan in 2026, with a year-on-year growth of 7.2%, maintaining a growth rate higher than the overall average of 6.1% for building hardware products.
Policy support has become a key driving force for the development of the industry. Since the full implementation of the "Technical Specification for Residential Safety Protection Facilities" (JGJ/T492—2023) jointly promoted by the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in July 2024, it has clearly required that residential buildings with 12 floors and above must adopt metal anti-pry window systems that meet the Class B and above standards of the "General Technical Conditions for Anti-Theft Safety Doors" (GB17565—2022). This policy has directly driven the average procurement amount of single projects to increase by about 23.6%. In 2025, the supporting rate of metal anti-pry windows in new residential projects nationwide rose to 68.4%, a significant increase from 62.1% in 2024. In 2026, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development further issued relevant supplementary regulations, expanding the scope of policy coverage to include public buildings such as schools, hospitals, and commercial complexes, which is expected to bring additional market demand of more than 18 billion yuan.
In terms of market structure, the industry concentration is continuously improving, and the pattern of head enterprises leading the development is gradually taking shape. In 2025, the weighted total shipments of metal anti-pry windows of four enterprises, including Kinlong Hardware, Weichang Aluminum, Fenglu Aluminum, and Yasha Decoration Supply Chain, accounted for 54.7% of the total industry volume. These head enterprises have obvious advantages in product certification, system integration capabilities, and engineering channel coverage. For example, Kinlong Hardware has laid out 127 authorized invention patents in multi-point locking structures and composite broken bridge heat insulation technology, with a research and development investment intensity of 3.8% in 2025, which is much higher than the industry average of 2.1%. Weichang Aluminum has built the first fully automated intelligent assembly production line for anti-pry windows in China, reducing unit labor costs by 31.4%. Fenglu Aluminum, together with Kinlong Hardware, developed the European standard EN1627 impact-resistant metal window system, which has passed the German TÜV certification and achieved mass delivery in Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets. It is estimated that the export volume of the industry will reach 430 million yuan in 2026, accounting for 3.1% of the total industry scale, an increase from 2.1% in 2025.
Product structure is accelerating towards high performance and customization. In 2025, aluminum alloy anti-pry windows still dominated the market, with a shipment share of 63.4% and a corresponding output value of about 8.15 billion yuan. Stainless steel and composite products (such as aluminum-clad stainless steel, broken bridge aluminum + high-strength steel liner) accounted for 36.6% of the total, with an output value of 4.71 billion yuan. Among them, composite products have become the fastest-growing sub-category with a year-on-year sales growth of 14.8% in 2025, thanks to their dual advantages of impact resistance (able to withstand ≥1500N static destructive force) and energy conservation (K value ≤2.0W/(m²·K)). In addition, intelligent linked anti-pry windows that can be connected to building intercom and fire alarm systems are gradually gaining popularity. It is estimated that the penetration rate of such products will reach 19.6% in 2026.
From the perspective of regional markets, East China remains the largest consumer market, contributing about 4.83 billion yuan in output value in 2025, accounting for 37.6% of the national total. South China and North China achieved 2.97 billion yuan and 2.21 billion yuan respectively, accounting for 40.8% in total. Although the central and western regions have a low base, their year-on-year growth rate reached 9.2% in 2025, significantly higher than the national average, reflecting the accelerated release of potential in the sinking market. Industry insiders pointed out that with the advancement of the urban renewal action and the acceleration of the old community renovation project, the stock market will become a new growth point for the iron security window industry. The "14th Five-Year Plan for Urban Renewal Action Implementation Plan" clearly requires that by 2026, the security facility improvement project for about 219,000 old communities built before 2000 nationwide will be completed, among which iron security windows, as a core sub-item, are expected to drive special renovation demand of more than 1.86 billion yuan.
However, the industry also faces some challenges. The continuous pressure on real estate new starts has led to a time lag in the transmission of front-end demand, and the profit space of small and medium-sized enterprises is under pressure due to rising raw material prices and environmental protection costs. At present, there are more than 1,200 small and medium-sized manufacturers in the industry, but less than 180 of them have complete capabilities such as profile extrusion, surface treatment (electrophoresis/fluorocarbon spraying), lock integration, and anti-destruction testing. With the continuous improvement of technical thresholds and compliance costs, the industry will accelerate capacity clearance. Looking forward to the future, the iron security window industry will enter a critical stage of transition from "compliance-driven" to "performance + service + system integration" multi-dimensional competition. Capital intervention value will be significantly enhanced, and the industry's net profit margin and return on equity are expected to continue to optimize.
