Rubber Flooring Market
The rubber flooring market was valued at $1.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $1.6 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2024 to 2032.
Rubber flooring is a slip-resistant flooring solution which is majorly developed by recycling rubber objects such as tyres, shoes, and sports equipment. The flooring is widely used in commercial spaces such as gyms, fitness centers, and playgrounds. Available in a variety of forms, including sheets, tiles, and mats, the flooring is easily installed through adhesive glue or interlocking systems. The major benefits of rubber flooring are its durability, strength, and low maintenance requirements.
The longevity and resistance to wear & tear of the flooring solution are the major drivers of the rubber flooring market. In addition, the adoption of rubber flooring is observing a significant surge in demand due to its cushioning properties which lower fatigue in individuals with extended walking or standing activities. Furthermore, the development of flooring solutions from recycled materials is a key factor in augmenting the market growth. The trend of installing rubber floorings in residential spaces is acquiring traction currently. Flooring manufacturers are striving to deliver flooring solutions customized as per the taste and aesthetics of customers. To enhance the utility of rubber flooring, the incorporation of antimicrobial agents and improved formulations which reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds is gaining prominence.
However, the large expense of high-quality rubber flooring solutions restricts several individuals with low disposable income from investing, thereby restraining the development of the market. Moreover, the sensitivity of rubber toward high temperatures reduces the performance & longevity of flooring solutions, which hampers the market growth. Further, the market is anticipated to observe reduced demands in the future due to the expected price surge of natural rubber. ChemAnalyst, a data intelligence expert in the chemical industry, forecasted a noteworthy increment in the prices of natural rubber due to modifications in the demand patterns leading to obstacles in the supply chain.
