Global Wood Flooring Manufacturing Market: Drivers and Trends 

Driving the demand in the global wood flooring manufacturing market is the increasing housing construction and remodeling activities. With the rapid pace of urbanization worldwide, the housing industry has received a major fillip. There has been a continued uptick in activity in the commercial real estate and building remodeling and renovation works. This has majorly contributed to the market along with increasing purchasing power of discerning consumers, who are increasingly opting for green buildings. The rising popularity of pre-finished products and manufactured floors has also driven demand in the market. Additionally, wood products are being increasingly recycled. This is another cause for the soaring popularity of wooden floors.  

Countering the growth in the market are unstable prices of wood and other raw materials, strict regulatory norms, and rising cost of production.  Another crucial market restraint is the growing thrust on environment which has led to strict policies against rampant deforestation. Further, stiff competition from substitutes such as ceramic tiles, carpet, and vinyl is also thwarting the growth in the market.

A trend noticed in the manufacturing process is the increased thrust on automating processes to boost efficiency and improve safety. Although labor is used in the industry to craft products, operators are increasingly investing in enhanced technologies to cut down on manufacturing costs.
