米国における硬質床材市場の動向

Abstract

US demand to grow 4.3% per year through 2011

US demand for hard surface flooring is projected to advance 4.3 percent per annum through 2011 to over 12 billion square feet. Hard surface flooring is gaining market share over carpet and rugs, continuing a trend seen over the past decade. This tendency is mostly driven by consumer preferences for highend products such as laminate, ceramic tile and engineered wood flooring, as well as increasing interest and popularity of natural and environmentally friendly products such as bamboo, cork and linoleum flooring.

Product development and innovation in design and styling, in addition to better production processes and new manufacturing technology, will expand hard surface flooring demand by increasing the availability and range of products on the market. Trends toward high-end, luxury products will help boost value gains, although market maturity and growth in demand for lower-priced imports will moderate price increases.

Laminate flooring to post the fastest gains

Through 2011, vinyl will continue to be the leading hard surface floor covering, despite losing significant share to ceramic tile and laminate flooring. Vinyl flooring will, however, continue to benefit from its low price and large selection of colors and patterns, which makes it an appealing alternative especially in the residential market. But the strongest product category in terms of growth remains laminate flooring, which is expected to substantially increase its share of the hard surface flooring market and provide the best opportunities through 2011. This segment has posted double-digit growth rates for the past five years and is expected to continue doing so for at least the next five. Gains will be driven by the continuing popularity and increasing consumer familiarity with the performance and benefits of laminate flooring. Moreover, laminate flooring prices are generally lower compared to the flooring choices it mimics, such as hardwood. Nevertheless, consumer interest in highend flooring products will aid demand for wood and ceramic tile flooring going forward, especially as the 45 year-old and older demographic segment, which typically has the greatest spending power, becomes larger.
