Report Code: CMR 1245 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Flooring Market Overview

Flooring Market size is forecast to reach US$ 252.0 billion by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 6.1% during 2021-2026. Growth of the flooring market is mainly attributed to its wide-ranging applications across various residential and construction sectors. Growing demand for flooring material in the rising residential sector is anticipated to drive the growth of the market. Additionally, the growing demand for hard flooring, which has alluring properties such as being more useful, easy to use, and install in remodeling and renovation projects, is expected to boost the flooring industry. Furthermore, increasing government investments in the upcoming construction industry growth in the coming years is estimated to upsurge the flooring industry over the forecast period.

Impact of Covid-19

The COVID-19 outbreak led to major economic problems and challenges for the residential and commercial industry. The government of various economies announced strict measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus, owing to which the construction output growth slowed down causing widespread concern and economic hardship for the flooring industry. Owing to the lack of funding, several projects remained in the unfinished stages. The construction industry also faced challenges such as supply chain disruption, shortage of subcontractors and materials, and the termination of contracts to control expenses, which curbed the flooring market growth during the forecast period. Construction operations were temporarily halted in a multitude of regions. For instance, due to the coronavirus pandemic, construction production in the United Kingdom dropped by a record 35.0 percent in Quarter 2 (April to June) 2020, compared to Quarter 1 (January to March) 2020. Thus, with the halt of several construction projects due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the flooring market growth was also affected in the year 2020.

Flooring Market Driver

Flourishing Residential Construction Sector

Flooring provides a natural feeling to the interiors of the house and is ideal for living areas, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and dining rooms. Floorings such as laminate, ceramics, hardwood and vinyl are highly durable and resistant to everyday wear and tear, owing to which they are largely used in residential construction. Floorings such as laminate, ceramics, hardwood, fiberglass, and vinyl also have properties such as good resistance to impact & scratch and can withstand small amounts of spillage that occur in common households. The evolving concept of home decor in the country, backed by the rising discretionary income is positively influencing the overall residential sector market growth. For instance, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the seasonally adjusted value of new residential building in Australia was worth $4,370.3 Million in July 2019, which then rose to $4,682.5 Million in July 2020, an increase of 11.3%. Such government initiatives are also set to increase the demand for floorings in the residential construction sector, and further drive the flooring market growth during the forecast period. 

Flooring Market Challenges

Environmental Hazards Caused During the Production of Flooring 

Many of the flooring options such as vinyl, carpeting, ceramics, and more contain harmful chemicals. Manufacturing of floors containing toxic chemicals can be a major source of indoor air pollution. According to reports, air pollution is now the world's most serious environmental health threat. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 7 million people die each year as a result of breathing dirty air. Vinyl, is a petroleum-based synthetic commodity manufactured from PVC resin and other additives including plasticizers, stabilizers, and other hazardous chemicals. Vinyl flooring processing is detrimental to the environment because these chemicals are poisonous and lead to indoor air pollution. Also, ceramic tile production techniques, from raw materials to finished product, create a variety of environmental hazards for the earth and humans. According to the International Journal for Quality Research, the production of ceramic tiles emits a significant amount of toxic and dangerous gases into the atmosphere. Thus, the production of toxic chemicals during the production of floorings such as vinyl floors, ceramic floors, and carpeting, aids in environmental hazards, which pose as a significant challenge for the flooring market during the forecast period.
