Description
Carpet flooring market Germany: fitted textile coverings and forecast to 2031
How is the carpet flooring market in Germany developing? This dataset shows domestic demand for fitted carpet in million m², quarterly between Q1/2021 and Q4/2031 – as historical market data and forecast.
The dataset covers textile floor coverings installed as broadloom or carpet tiles and made by tufting, weaving or needle-punching. Offices favour 50 × 50 cm carpet tiles, which can be swapped singly when tenants change. Loose rugs, runners and mats are excluded as non-construction products, as are automotive, exhibition and artificial-grass carpets. Main uses are offices, hotels and administrative buildings; in homes, carpet is retreating to bedrooms.
Carpet is the structural loser in flooring: luxury vinyl, laminate, parquet and tiles have displaced it for years, mainly for hygiene reasons – dust mites, cleaning effort – and the trend to easy-care floors. Carpet stays strong where acoustics and walking comfort matter, above all in offices, partly on raised floors. New buildings rarely receive it; office refits with short replacement cycles carry the market. Besides the construction cycle, the forecast reflects continuing share losses.
Which questions about the carpet flooring market does the dataset answer?
- How far has carpet consumption fallen since 2021, and how does it develop up to Q4/2031?
- How much weight does non-residential renovation carry compared with renovation in the housing stock?
- How small has the new-build share become in residential and non-residential buildings?
- How is installed carpet area spread across the quarters of a year?
Who is the dataset for?
Tufting and needle-punch mills and yarn producers see how building-related sales develop. Contract furnishers, decorators and flooring distributors plan ranges and capacity, office landlords gain reference points for tenant fit-outs, and analysts assess firms in a shrinking segment.
Data basis and methodology
New build and renovation are shown separately for residential and non-residential buildings, together with the total market. The level is derived from production and foreign trade in textile floor coverings, adjusted for automotive, exhibition and loose carpets. Projections use completions, permits and modernised floor area, carpet’s share of covered floor per segment and a modifier for cycle and substitution. The model was cross-checked against available market and industry data as well as internal data.
Delivered as CSV and Excel files, each in German and English, with 44 quarterly values. Related datasets: Vinyl design flooring (LVT/SPC), Laminate flooring, Engineered wood flooring and all data on interior fit-out and flooring.
