Good growth prospects for plastic windows / PVC is by far the most important material for frames

摘要

Russia is one of the world's biggest markets for PVC window profiles and also offers enormous growth potential as only one in five of its roughly 58m homes has insulated glazing. As annual construction rates are rising very fast - for example around 700,000 new homes came onto the market last year - the German Office for Foreign Trade (bfai, Cologne / Germany; www.bfai.de) sees good prospects for the Russian windows market. Citing analyses by the market research agency O.K.N.A. Marketing (Moscow / Russia; www. oknamar.ru), bfai reports that three-quarters of all new windows in Russia have PVC frames.
