The renovation market for existing homes is gaining momentum, with significantly increased demand for quick-installation interior doors and bathroom cabinets.
Jan 19,2026
As policies for renovating existing homes continue to advance and the potential of the existing housing market is increasingly realized, the renovation market is emerging as a key growth engine for the home furnishings industry. Renovation demand exhibits three major characteristics: First, renovation cycles are shortening, leading to a surge in demand for fast-installation products. Consumers are increasingly opting for interior doors and bathroom cabinets that are easy to install and feature short construction periods, thereby minimizing disruption to their daily lives. For example, modular-design interior doors, with their pre-assembled structures, can be fully installed on the same day; bathroom cabinets equipped with integrated countertops and quick-install hardware show a 40% improvement in installation efficiency compared to traditional products.
Second, the demand for integrating functionality with aesthetics is becoming increasingly prominent. In renovation projects, consumers not only expect products to possess basic features such as sound insulation and water resistance, but also place great importance on their harmony with the overall home décor style. Take interior doors as an example: the integrated door-and-wall cabinet design uses matching-color panels and concealed hinge technology to ensure a seamless connection between the door and the wall, thereby satisfying the need for spatial cohesion. As for bathroom vanities, the combination of quartz countertops and smart mirror cabinets strikes a balance between practicality and aesthetic appeal.
Third, the demand for age-friendly and smart renovations is growing rapidly. Age-friendly designs such as non-slip flooring and assistive handrails, as well as smart bathroom cabinets equipped with motion-sensor lighting and constant-temperature features, have become high-frequency options in renovation projects. Data shows that in 2025, sales of age-friendly interior doors and smart bathroom cabinets both saw year-on-year growth rates exceeding 25%, reflecting the market’s strong demand for human-centered products.
