Rise in demand for carpet backing materials

Manufacturers of carpet backing materials have experienced a sharp rise in demand for their products during the last few years.

Carpet backing contributes to the quality and durability of carpets and influences customers’ buying choices. There has been a rise in demand for carpets for commercial and residential buildings, and this has boosted the sales of carpet backing materials.

According to Transparency Market Research, the carpet backing material sector is forecast to expand by 5% each year in the period 2021 to 2027. The increase in carpet sales is worldwide, but new construction activities in the Middle East and the Asia Pacific regions are expected to fuel the highest increase in demand for carpets.

Most manufacturers of carpet backing materials are focusing their development efforts on more environmentally friendly products. As well as using recyclable materials, manufacturers are reducing carbon emissions in the manufacturing processes through the use of renewable energy.

Manufacturers are also improving the sound insulation qualities and the softness of their carpet backing, in order to make rooms quieter and carpets feel more relaxing.

Though there are many flooring choices available, many people prefer carpets for their North Wales, Wrexham and Chester properties, especially wool carpets, which add a feel of luxury to any room.

In response to environmental concerns, carpet manufacturers are using more sustainable materials in their backing and the carpet weave. There are a number of UK recycling schemes that break down old carpets to extract materials for use in new products.
