After a decline in 2019, the market volume for tufted textile floor coverings in Finland grew in 2020 to 3.3 million m². This increase was fueled by a surge in home renovation and DIY projects during the COVID-19 pandemic, which boosted demand for durable and easy-to-install floor materials. Growth continued in 2021, with the market reaching 4.1 million m², supported by steady consumer interest in aesthetically pleasing and comfortable floor solutions.

The market volume stabilized at around 4.0 million m² in 2022 as manufacturers adapted to rising demand for eco-friendly materials and invested in reducing VOC emissions. However, contraction followed in 2023 and 2024, with the volume falling to 3.1 million m², against the backdrop of an ongoing trend toward sustainability and recyclability.
