Soft Covering Flooring Market Analysis
The Global Soft Covering Flooring Market is valued at USD 97.2 billion currently and is expected to register a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecasted period.
During the pandemic, many construction projects were delayed or canceled, which had a significant impact on the demand for soft-covering flooring. Additionally, the closure of retail stores and decreased foot traffic in commercial buildings resulted in a decline in demand for soft-covering flooring in these sectors. However, the market has shown signs of recovery as lockdown measures have been lifted in several regions and construction activities have resumed. The demand for soft covering flooring has also increased due to the rising focus on creating comfortable and healthy living spaces, especially as people spend more time at home. Additionally, the growing trend towards sustainable and eco-friendly products is expected to drive the demand for soft-covering flooring in the post-pandemic era.
Investment in R&D works by major players for product innovation, design, and service is expected to positively impact the market's growth. Technological innovations aimed at providing a variety of dying technologies to create different patterns, solid colors, and design continuity are projected to contribute to product demand. The soft covering flooring market is highly competitive, with major manufacturers focusing on innovative styles, product differentiation, designs, and effective services to gain a greater market share. Changes in the prices of raw materials due to varying market conditions have a significant impact on the final price of the products. The shift toward hard floor coverings, such as wood and ceramics, along with high sensitivity to economic fluctuations, is likely to hinder the growth prospects of the market.
Soft Covering Flooring Market Trends
High Usage of Soft Covering Flooring in the Residential Sector is Driving the Market
Soft covering flooring, including carpets, area rugs, and vinyl flooring, is popular in residential applications because it offers a comfortable, warm, and inviting feel to the space. Additionally, it can help reduce noise and provide insulation. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards using soft covering flooring in bedrooms, living rooms, and other areas of the home. Soft coverings, such as carpeting, can create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere in these spaces, making them more comfortable and inviting for occupants.
Furthermore, advancements in technology and design have led to the development of soft coverings that are durable, easy to clean, and resistant to wear and tear. These characteristics make them an excellent choice for high-traffic areas of the home, such as hallways and family rooms. Overall, the use of soft covering flooring in the residential sector is expected to continue growing in the coming years as consumers look for comfortable, durable, and stylish flooring options for their homes.
United States Region Dominates the Market
North America accounted for 30% of the volume share in the previous year on account of the high penetration of the product in residential and commercial buildings due to high durability and easy installation process. Furthermore, increasing retail outlets and commercial buildings on account of rising urbanization in Mexico is likely to propel the demand for construction materials in the region.
The rising construction of green buildings in the United States is expected to fuel the consumption of eco-friendly and lightweight floor coverings. Also, increasing consumer expenditure for the construction of residential buildings coupled with rising per capita income is likely to aid households in affording home interiors, including expensive flooring solutions.
Soft covering floorings are available at low costs and possess characteristics such as ease of maintenance, better aesthetics, and moisture, fire, and scratch resistance, which makes them preferable flooring materials for commercial application segments. Rising demand from the replacement market, primarily from the hotels, offices, and mosques in the GCC countries, is expected to propel growth over the projected period.
