More stable ground: An improving housing market drives industry growth, but competition looms

More stable ground

The industry will recover in the next five years, as the improving housing market and rising disposable income levels boost homeowners' spending on floor coverings. Additionally, the number of housing starts will grow and, thus, boost demand for floor covering. A number of negative factors will nag the industry, though; most significantly, price-conscious consumers will increasingly turn to large home improvement stores instead of specialty businesses to purchase their floor coverings.
