Market Overview

Soft covering flooring encompasses various types of materials with soft, flexible textile faces and includes carpeting, carpet tiles, area rugs, and floor mats that can be installed in a variety of residential, commercial, and institutional settings. Comfort, sound reduction, insulation, aesthetics, and ease of installation are primary reasons why these products are installed in residential, office, hotel, or educational facilities; thus, soft-covering floor coverings greatly enhance the general appearance of indoor spaces. Another factor contributing to the growing demand for modular carpet tile products is that they provide additional flexibility and are easy to care for, while also providing lasting benefits to building owners through long-term economies of scale. One of several drivers of the recent growth around the commercial sector is due primarily to the increased emphasis being placed on using recycled materials in the production of soft-covering floor coverings, such as carpets. Government supporting initiatives focused on building energy efficiency also indirectly contribute to the growing interest in purchasing soft-covering products that provide a significant level of thermal insulation. Programs supporting the use of sustainable building certification systems like CASBEE provide added incentives for building owners to buy and install sustainable soft-covering flooring.
