Market Restraint

Sharp Contraction in Construction Activities Triggered by COVID-19 to Dampen Market Spirits

The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has caused unprecedented upheavals in the construction industry across countries and will inevitably stymie the resilient flooring market growth. According to the UK-based Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), 25% of the construction projects worldwide were paused in the second quarter of 2020 and productivity at sites dropped by 12% as governments imposed lockdowns and social distancing measures to contain the spread of the virus. The RICS predicts that cost escalation because of delays, cancellations, and reduced on-site workforce will put enormous pressure on the construction industry in the next twelve months. Country-wise scenario for this industry appears equally grim. In India, for instance, the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation reported a staggering 50.3% contraction in construction activities since the pandemic outbreak. With the demand for resilient flooring being solely dependent on construction activities, this market is likely to undergo a period of shock as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the resilient flooring market share period owing to the strong growth displayed by the regional construction industry over the past few years. This growth is underpinned by the rapid urbanization witnessed in Asia Pacific, especially in India and China. Moreover, rising disposable incomes is encouraging consumers to demand advanced and premium flooring solutions, which bodes well for this market. For example, the India Brand Equity Foundation estimates that the country’s real estate sector will touch USD 1 trillion in value by 2030. The region’s market size stood at USD 12.02 billion in 2019 and is predicted to register a CAGR of 10.3% during the forecast period.
