Key Players
Competitive Landscape
Twelve named suppliers split into eight major global players and four emerging players in the Future Market Insights grouping. Hunter Douglas and Ching Feng carry the broadest portfolios and global footprints. Griesser, Lafayette, Legrand, Lutron and Mechoshade hold regional positions, Electrocomponents completes the major group, and Nien Made, Persianas Canet, Qmotion and Schenker Storen work in niche products.
A CPSC cord proposal and U.S. housing data changed the backdrop for suppliers in 2026. CPSC proposed new cord limits on custom and roll-up products in September.[2] U.S. housing completions fell in August, and permits rose.[1] Legrand raised full-year 2026 targets after first-half results.[7]
