Carpets and other floorcoverings

Article Abstract:

The UK floorcoverings market has seen varied performance, despite wider developments, such as the expansion of the housing stock, which should benefit the market. The market expanded by 11% in volume terms between 1993 and 1997, reaching a total value of 1.71 billion pounds sterling. It is forecast that the market will expand by only 1% over the period to 2002. The smooth floorcoverings sector will not grow as rapidly as in the period 1994 to 1998, but will still see a real increase of 7%.
