Global Carpet Tile Market: Emerging Markets Driving Growth
Carpet tiles also known as carpet squares, are modular sections of carpeting which are typically cut into square shape. Due to its ease of installation, recyclable and replaceable nature, carpet tiles are efficiently used in renovations. In recent years, carpet tiles saw the highest growth in the soft floor coverings segment mainly because of its increasing demand in corporate office sector and declining usage of broadlooms. Strong demand from emerging markets like India, China, Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa offer significant opportunities for carpet tile penetration.
America and Asia-pacific (including Japan) account for a major portion of carpet tile market. There has been a consistent growth in carpet tile sales over the period 2006-2009 in the US as their demand arose not only from corporate sector but other sectors like retail, hospitality, healthcare and residential as well. Commercial market, which includes corporate offices, healthcare, education, government, and retail accounted for more than 90% of total carpet tile sales in the US at the end of 2009. The barriers to entry in the carpet tile market for a new entrant in U.S. are quite high due to strict environmental regulations, high investment and presence of a large number of substitutes. Interface is the largest carpet tile manufacturer in the US while others include Shaw and Mohawk.
Growth in carpet tile market in Europe was not in line with the growth witnessed by the American and Asia Pacific markets due to economic slowdown and less new build. The UK is the largest market for carpet tiles in Europe followed by France and Germany. Recovery in construction market, huge opportunity in untapped regions like Germany and Scandinavian region will accelerate the popularity of carpet tile in coming years.
