Technavio's analysts have provided an in-depth analysis of the regional trends and drivers that influence the market during the forecast period. In the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, although China has experienced an economic slowdown affecting construction activities, other Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Malaysia, exhibit strong potential for significant growth in the building sector. Initiatives such as China's One Belt One Road and India's Make in India are essential in fostering construction development across the region.
In the APAC market, non-resilient flooring products like wood, stone, and ceramic are prevalent due to their durability and adaptability to various climates. Meanwhile, resilient flooring products and carpets are often viewed as more upscale and niche in several APAC nations. However, there is an increasing interest in alternative flooring solutions, such as laminates and luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), driven by advancements in technology and innovation. Moreover, the growth of performance flooring in sectors such as education and healthcare will further enhance market expansion in the region, contributing to the overall development of the flooring market during the forecast period.
The market includes a variety of flooring materials, such as hardwood, laminate, vinyl flooring, carpet, ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, engineered wood, bamboo flooring, luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), and others, focusing on supply chain efficiency to cater to diverse consumer preferences. Both residential and commercial sectors contribute to the demand for these flooring solutions. Eco-friendly options, including bamboo and sustainable flooring, are becoming more popular due to growing environmental awareness and advancements in waste management that address the environmental impact of flooring materials. Flooring designs are continually evolving, with technological advancements leading to innovations such as smart and waterproof flooring. Factors like durability and cost significantly affect consumer choices. Leading brands in the market include Mohawk, Armstrong, and Shaw.
Rapid growth in the global construction industry is driving flooring market growth. The construction industry significantly influences the market as a key end-user. Since 2009, this sector has been on a notable growth trajectory, with Europe's construction market reaching its highest growth rate in 2018, a level not seen since 2006, largely driven by the residential sector. Countries such as the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany are expected to play major roles in expanding the construction industry across Europe. Likewise, the North American construction market is experiencing steady growth, with residential construction being the fastest-growing segment in the region.
In the Asia-Pacific region, China, Indonesia, and India are important players in the expanding construction markets. Indonesia's construction industry recorded a 3% growth in 2018, mainly due to residential projects. In India, the government has committed substantial funding for affordable housing initiatives through the National Housing Bank. The ongoing expansion of the global construction industry is anticipated to positively impact flooring market growth, leading to a significant increase in flooring demand during the forecast period.
Increasing demand for waterproof flooring is a key trend in the flooring market. Waterproof flooring is increasingly popular in the residential construction market, prompting leading companies like Mohawk Industries and Gerflor to enhance their product lines with waterproof features. Vinyl flooring, a favored alternative to traditional wooden floors, is now being combined with wood plastic composite (WPC) technology. This integration provides excellent water resistance along with durability against stains and dents, making it easy to maintain.
Additionally, manufacturers are concentrating on improving design quality and offering customization options for their waterproof flooring products. This versatility allows these products to be utilized in various residential spaces, including kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas. The demand for waterproof flooring is anticipated to grow steadily throughout the forecast period.
Rising prices of raw materials are impeding flooring market growth during the forecast period. The rising costs of raw materials for flooring products, such as wood, ceramics, and vinyl, have been driven by a persistent imbalance between supply and demand. The United States, a major exporter of lumber, has faced challenges in meeting the increasing demand for wood from markets like China and Southeast Asia. Additionally, disputes between the U.S. and Canada over lumber imports have contributed to the escalation in lumber prices. This rise in lumber costs has, in turn, led to higher expenses in transportation and labor.
Similarly, the prices of ceramics and vinyl have also increased due to limited availability of essential raw materials used in their production. As the construction industry grows and the demand for flooring products continues to rise, this supply-demand imbalance is expected to remain in the coming years. Consequently, the escalating costs of raw materials and related expenses present significant challenges for the market in the forecast period.
