Non-cellular rubber floor coverings and mats market in Russia

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market volume for non-cellular rubber floor coverings and mats in Russia gradually declined from 7,586 t to 6,771 t. This occurred despite a steady increase in domestic production, which rose from 2,091 t to 2,364 t over the same period. The contraction in domestic availability was primarily due to a sharp rise in exports, which more than doubled from 2,593 t in 2018 to 4,385 t in 2020. Industry factors during these years included the ongoing construction of foreign manufacturers' plants in Russia, which supported localization, and the broader growth of the floor coverings market. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 temporarily halted construction and reduced corporate demand, though increased interest from individual buyers in renovation materials provided some offset.

The market volume fell sharply to 5,382 t in 2021 as exports continued to grow, reaching 4,941 t, while imports contracted significantly. The post-pandemic recovery saw production jump by 36% to 3,220 t, but this was directed increasingly abroad. In 2022, the sanctions crisis following geopolitical events disrupted logistics and raw material supplies, leading to a 27% drop in imports. However, domestic production surged by 29% to 4,149 t as manufacturers adapted, resulting in a market volume rebound to 6,111 t. The shift away from imported materials from China, Poland, and Germany reinforced this domestic production growth.

Market volume peaked at 8,098 t in 2023, a 32% increase, as producers stabilized raw material supply chains and consumer demand recovered in lower price segments. However, in 2024, volume fell by 29% to 5,770 t alongside a 3% decline in the broader floor coverings output, reflecting ongoing logistical constraints and sanctions pressure. Preliminary data for 2025 indicates a further 9% decrease in production to 3,541 t, suggesting continued market adjustment to the new trade environment.
