Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the market volume for felt textile floor coverings in Germany contracted sharply from 57.9 million m² to 34.1 million m². This decline was primarily driven by shifting consumer preferences towards elastic floor coverings and sustainable materials, which reduced demand for traditional textile products. In 2020, weak demand in the non-residential construction sector further pressured the segment. By 2021, supply shortages and rising raw material prices across Europe increased costs, further dampening consumption volumes.

After 2021, the market stabilized, fluctuating between 35.9 million m² and 39.7 million m². In 2022, catch-up effects following previous declines contributed to a temporary recovery to 37.4 million m². By 2024, sustainability and durability emerged as key trends, while rising prices for construction materials due to high energy costs continued to influence dynamics. Consolidation in distribution, such as the sale of Stark Deutschland Fliesen Discount to a Polish chain, altered supply structures during this period.
