Carpet Market Size - By Product Type, By Material, By Application, By Distribution Channel, Growth Forecast, 2025 – 2034

Carpet Market Size

The global carpet market was estimated at USD 36 billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow from USD 37.8 billion in 2025 to USD 59.4 billion in 2034, at a CAGR of 5.1%, according to latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.

The carpet industry is undergoing a major transformation, fueled by new consumer preferences, rising demands for sustainability, and rapid technological change. A core trend impacting on the market is the increased emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly carpets. Manufacturers are using more recycled fibers, natural materials, including wool, jute, and sisal, and low-VOC adhesives to meet the increasing demand for eco-friendly products.
 

Counteracting labels such as Green Label Plus and Cradle to Cradle have become more vital indicators of environmental compliance and product quality, and the principles of the circular economy are also impacting product innovation, including modular carpet tiles, product take-back programs, and recyclable backing systems that will address waste materials and improve resource efficiency. All this sustainability-focused innovation is not only affecting product development, but you can also see it reflected in marketing as more consumers become environmentally aware, and ethics matter to Millennials and Gen Z significantly more than to older generations and shape what they buy.
 

Moreover, the digitalization of the carpet industry, in conjunction with the rapid growth of e-commerce, is reshaping the business model as well. The rise of online sales channels has become a key route for sales - connecting consumers to limitless options of style and breadth of carpets.
 

Carpet Market Trends

The market is undergoing continuous transformation, driven by innovative technologies and changing consumer preferences.
 

• Nanotechnology for Performance Enhancement: Nanotechnology enhances carpet performance through stain resistance, water repellence, and antimicrobial qualities. These chemicals can be invoked during or post-manufacturing to improve durability and hygiene for higher, heavy-use applications and in sensitive environments, such as hospitals and hotels.
   
• Digital Design and Customizing tools: Advanced digital tools, such as computer-aided design (CAD) technology and 3D modeling, allow for the customization of carpets in real time for customer experience. Virtual visualizers and augmented reality (AR) tools minimize returns because of the customized levels of service; and improve the experience of design, making this way of customizing goods far more collaborative, efficient, and digital in a modern marketplace context.
   
• Sustainable Fiber Technologies and Processes: Sustainable fibers (e.g. recycled PET, biodegradable fibers) reduce environmental impacts, especially if the fibers are made with an eco-friendly solution-dyeing process. This engagement provides a more sustainable value proposition for eco-conscious consumers and those businesses who wish to be green certified.
   
• Smart Carpets with Embedded Sensors: "Smart” carpets have a built-in sensor to track movement, collect temperature differences, and analyze foot traffic. If interfacing with an "Internet of Things" (IoT) system, "smart" carpets can help to automate certain services in healthcare space, retail space, and others.

Based on type, the carpet market is divided into tufted, woven, needle-punched, knotted, flat weave, others. In 2024, tufted held the major market share, generating a revenue of USD 21.1 billion.
 

• Tufted carpets lead the world market due to their price, quick production, and design flexibility. In tufting, specialized needles insert yarn into a backing fabric. This differs from traditional weaving, as tufting is much faster and requires much less labor to complete.
   
• The tufting production method allows manufacturers to quickly produce carpets in considerable volume, making tufted carpets cost-effective, and broadly available in the marketplace. Tufted carpets are produced with an extensive variety of textures, pile heights, and pattern options that work in residences (e.g., bedrooms and living rooms), commercial offices, and hospitality (e.g., hotels and restaurants) applications.
   
• Tufted carpets also fulfill the need for personalized approaches to interior design through high levels of customization. Recent advancements to fiber technology, such as stain-resistant and/or moisture repellent treatments, have benefited tufted carpets, and overall, increased functionality for households of children or pets, specifically where durability and easy maintenance are needed.
   
• With the growing acceptance of modular carpet tiles, tufted carpet tiles have increased demand in urban and commercial design settings. However, the primary factors for tufted carpet market demand are cost-efficiency, design flexibility, and overall functional improvements to meet modern consumer demands. Combining cost-effectiveness, design options, and improved functionality, tufted carpets are king in developed and developing markets throughout the world.

Based on material, the carpet market is segmented into nylon, polyester, polypropylene, wool, acrylic, and others. The nylon segment held the largest share, accounting for 35% of the market in 2024.
 

• Nylon carpets have emerged as the top choice in the worldwide market, owing to their unique mix of durability, performance, and price. Nylon fibers are very durable, making them ideal for high-traffic areas such as hallways, corporate offices, and family living areas.
   
• They hold their shape under foot traffic and resist crushing, making them much more durable than many other synthetic fibers. When treated with stain-resistant protective coatings, nylon carpets resist staining even better, as an added benefit for homes with children and pets, as they are prone to spills and accidents.
   
• Fiber provides versatility in colors and textures that allow manufacturers to create a large variety of styles. For example, the style menu ranges from plush, luxury styles that enhance and elevate home decor to low pile styles designed for commercial use.
   
• Carpets made with nylon are typically more colorfast and fade resistant because of nylon's ability to be produced using solution-dying methods. This affects the use of nylon for jobs in sunlit areas or areas adjacent to shaded outdoor use.
   
• Furthermore, with improvements in recycled nylon and low VOC manufacturing processes, some of innovations attract today's consumer, particularly environmentally conscious buyers. To summarize, nylon is durable, versatile in design, and very attuned to sustainability.
   

Based on the application, the carpet market is segmented into residential and commercial. In 2024, residential held a major market share, generating a revenue of USD 25.4 billion.

Carpets are favored as they are warm, comfortable, and offer sound insulation, therefore being the preferred soft flooring for bedrooms, living rooms, and family rooms.
   
• As urbanization and housing growth continues globally, especially within the rapidly developing emerging markets, there are many homeowners making investments in their home improvement projects that include soft floor coverings.
   
• Beyond aesthetics, carpets play an important role in overall energy efficiency, offering thermal insulation, which is essential for households in colder regions or for homeowners prioritizing their energy consumption.
   
• Residential carpets now come in so many styles, textures, and colors that homeowners can really make their space feel personal. It just shows how important carpets have become in home décor. With online shopping growing and virtual design tools being so common, people are picking out carpets faster and with more confidence, making sure they fit both their style and budget.
