Abstract
The carpet and rugs industry is divided into two primary markets, residential
and commercial. In 2006, the residential market made up about three-fourths of
the total industry amounts shipped and the commercial market comprised
approximately one fourth of the total industry shipments. Residential
replacement demand is also increasing and approximately half of the industry
shipments are made in response to residential replacement demand. U.S.,
Belgium, and Turkey are the world leaders in machine-made rugs and leading
carpet markets.
Nowadays modular carpet demand is continuously increasing and has
significantly outpaced the growth of the overall industry. Recycling of
carpets has become one of the key factors driving demand. The growing
nonresidential construction market is also pushing the carpet demand.
