Trends and Insights
Poor-performing downstream construction markets and falling dwelling commencements have constrained industry revenue

Slowing demand from residential building construction – due to soaring construction and material costs, labour shortages and a fall in dwelling commencements – has hindered the Carpet and Textile Floor Covering Manufacturing industry.

Industry outlook (2025-2030)
Market size is projected to decline over the next five years.
Trends and Insights
Manufacturers will change their product offerings based on consumer preferences to stay viable
- Industry manufacturers will continue to face significant internal and external competition over the next five years. The number of industry establishments is forecast to creep downwards. High labour costs and increasing input prices are shrinking manufacturers’ profit margins. For instance, the price of wool is forecast to rise over the next five years as international demand for Australian wool from countries like China surges. This may force smaller firms to exit the industry. For instance, Tuftmaster, a major player in the past, was forced to liquidate in 2024. Conflicts regarding employee entitlements led to the firm’s exit from the industry. Smaller manufacturers will continue to be acquired by larger firms over the next five years, concentrating the industry.
