Wood and Laminate Flooring Market Drivers

Supportive Government Policies Promoting the Utilization of Wooden Products

For a long period, much of the materials used in building activities such as cement, asphalt, steel, and plastic remain in the surrounding area, which raises the environmental burden. Several governments have promoted the use of natural and easily decomposable items such as wood for the construction of new buildings and renovation activities to increase the sustainability of the construction industry. For example, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF) has passed a law to facilitate the use of wood materials in the construction of public buildings. Similarly, in constructing both residential buildings and commercial buildings, different governments offer incentives for the use of wood. Flooring is one such field in which the use of wood is easy, and with companies developing to enhance the properties of wood flooring, demand is expected to increase significantly during the forecast period.

Expanding Commercial Construction Sector

Wood and laminate flooring is extensively used in the commercial construction sector, as it is cost-effective, requires low maintenance, and can withstand high traffic. By 2025, Japan's Kansai International Airport will spend about 100 billion yen ($911 million) to upgrade the larger terminal, aiming to improve space for foreign flights at the country's No. 2 hub. In February 2020, the Indian Union Budget aims to create 100 new airports by 2024 to help growing air traffic under the Centre's Udan scheme. Over the medium term (2020-2021), R4.6-billion was allocated to the health facility revitalization component of the national health insurance indirect grant in South Africa. Planning and construction of the Limpopo Central Hospital in Polokwane, which is scheduled to be completed in 2025/26, will be financed by a portion of this budget. In July 2019, The Red Sea Development Company (TRSDC) awarded Saudi Amana contracting a public tender award to build accommodation & offices for staff & laborers working on the project. The project is on schedule for completion by the end of 2022. 14 luxury hotels offering 3,000 rooms across five islands and two inland resorts are included in the plans. Thus, it is anticipated that with the flourishing commercial construction industry, there will be an upsurge in the demand for solid timber floors, which will subsequently drive the concrete reinforcing fiber market growth.

Wood and Laminate Flooring Market Challenges

Availability of Other Cost-effective Substitute Materials

A flooring product is exposed to difficult conditions such as liquid spillage, moisture accumulation near the door and other openings, effects from walking or dropping objects, and scratches from furniture movement. The flooring product must therefore be immune to the altercations that arise from such occurrences. Wooden flooring is facing intense competition from items such as ceramic tiles, durable flooring, and resin flooring, most of which are better at coping with these consequences. Ceramic tiles have greater strength, resistance to impact, and the ability to withstand moisture. Vinyl coverings and carpets, on the other hand, display superior water handling and aesthetic design capabilities. In addition, wood is an expensive natural commodity that takes a long time to regenerate. Many of the alternatives, however, prove to be considerably cheap. Due to these reasons, the demand for the adoption of this form of flooring is limited.
