Carpets and rugs Market Overview

A carpet is a type of textile floor covering that generally has an upper layer of pile linked to a backing. Traditionally, the pile was formed of wool, but during the twentieth century, synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, nylon, or polyester have been commonly utilized since they are less expensive than wool. The pile of the carpet is often made up of knotted tufts that are heat-treated to keep their structure.

A rug is a thick, heavy piece of cloth with a nap or pile that is used as a floor finish. Rugs are smaller in size than carpets and are intended to cover a limited area. The growing consumer preference for interior decor, along with rising spending power, has enhanced the Asian appeal of carpets and rugs.

Carpets and Rugs Market: COVID–19 Impact Analysis

The lack of quality raw materials such as wool, nylon, and polyester in different carpet and rug manufacturing countries from all around the globe during the pandemic, owing to the closure of international borders to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus had negatively impacted the supply chains and hampered the export & import of carpets and rugs across the globe. This created a barrier to the growth of the industry as the production process was hampered due to a lack of labour and raw material. Additionally, the Asian population was focused on accumulating the necessities during the lockdown period and was not interested in purchasing interior decorative items such as carpets and rugs.

Therefore, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the revenues of the market, however, it is expected that with the ongoing vaccination drives in different parts of the globe and with the ease of lockdown the demand for carpets and rugs is expected to increase as consumers interest in decorative products will rise just like in the pre-COVID era.

Asia Carpets and Rugs Market: Growth Drivers

Increase in infrastructure construction and development.

The expansion in infrastructure construction and development activities throughout the world, particularly in the Asia-Pacific area, has raised the demand for carpets and rugs. The need for furnishing items is growing in both residential and commercial areas for the betterment of businesses and residences. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian real estate sector is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2030, up from $200 billion in 2021, representing 13% of the country’s GDP by 2025.

Carpets and rugs are becoming more popular because they provide functional benefits such as slip resistance and thermal insulation. Carpets are essential for residential dwellings in various cold-climate zones of Asia-Pacific due to the freezing conditions. The use of wool in the production of carpets adds value to the product. These factors are projected to fuel the rugs and carpets’ demand in the Asia-Pacific region in the coming years.

Increase in urbanization and globalization.

Customers are more interested in modern interiors for their homes and workplaces, and as a result, they are more inclined to spend more on implementing aesthetic upgrades to their houses or offices. This is fueling the requirement and demand for carpets and rugs. Furthermore, a rise in individual disposable income, particularly in emerging nations, is expected to enhance the industry.

According to worldbank.org, metropolitan areas are home to around 55% of the world’s population or more than 4.2 billion people. This trend is expected to continue and the share of individuals living in metropolitan areas is expected to increase. Furthermore, government rules and policies promoting carpet and rug production are boosting the industry. The carpet business has long served as a source of livelihood for many families in several nations, such as Afghanistan. Afghanistan’s Carpet Manufacturers’ Union officials hope to develop the carpet manufacturing business from 18 to 34 regions. As a result, the industry for carpets and rugs is expected to expand in the future years.

According to the Asia carpets and rugs market analysis, based on type, the woven segment gained a major share in 2021 and is expected to sustain its market share during the forecast period as the availability of woven carpets is higher compared to the other types of carpet and the population is highly interested in getting a hands-on experience of the woven carpets as they are highly durable. In addition, the introduction of colorfully designed carpets has encouraged consumers to go for the product. Growth in the popularity and feasibility of woven carpets propels sales of carpets and rugs among the population across the globe.

According to the Asia carpets and rugs market, based on material, the nylon segment gained a major share in 2021 and is expected to sustain its market share during the forecast period. Nylon carpet fibre is the most prevalent, accounting for 90% of domestic carpets and 65% of all carpets. Nylon carpet fibre is an excellent choice for high-traffic areas since it is long-lasting, static-free, and resistant to soiling, discoloration, and mildew. Color is retained in nylon fibres for a longer period of time. It is available in both continuous and spun fibres. Spun yarn is created by spinning together small lengths of fibre and continuous strands are less prone to unraveling.

The growing consumer interest in home remodeling initiatives such as the replacement of worn or out-of-style carpets and rugs is increasing the attractiveness and sales of carpets and rugs. The installation of new upholstery increases the aesthetics and value of a property, thus, the sales of carpets in the residential sector are the highest.

On the basis of country, China dominated the carpets and rugs market in 2021 and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period.
