US Carpet and Rug Market Trends:

Sustainability and Circular Economy Transformation Reshaping Manufacturing

The US carpet industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation as manufacturers prioritize sustainability and circular economy principles throughout their operations. Stricter regulations, business pledges to lower carbon footprints, and growing consumer demand for ecologically friendly products are the main causes of this change. Leading carpet manufacturers are investing heavily in closed-loop recycling systems, utilizing post-consumer recycled materials including reclaimed nylon from discarded carpets and recycled polyester from plastic bottles. Several sustainability initiatives are meeting environmental objectives while also creating competitive advantages, as commercial buyers increasingly require LEED certification and corporate sustainability compliance. The US carpet and rug market growth is being propelled by innovations in bio-based materials, with manufacturers developing products that store more carbon than is released during manufacturing, supporting long-term industry goals of achieving carbon neutrality by 2040.

Residential Renovation Boom Driving Sustained Flooring Demand

The US carpet and rug market is experiencing robust growth driven by sustained residential renovation and remodeling activities that have stabilized at historically elevated levels following the pandemic-era surge. In January 2025, the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies' Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity projected that year-over-year spending for home renovation and repair would increase by 1.2% in 2025 , with the market size reaching USD 509 Billion. After experiencing extraordinary growth of 25.3% between 2022 and 2023, the remodeling market has established a new baseline substantially above pre-pandemic levels, backed by a strong labor market, growing property values, and ongoing growth in sales of existing homes. The shift toward hybrid work models has fundamentally altered how Americans utilize residential spaces, with homeowners investing in creating comfortable, functional environments that serve multiple purposes including home offices, gyms, and classrooms. Carpets and rugs have become essential elements in these redesigned spaces, valued for their acoustic properties, thermal insulation, and aesthetic versatility. Middle and upper-income households are particularly active in renovation projects, with average per-project homeowner spending reaching approximately USD 4,700 in 2023. The sustained elevation in renovation activity, combined with increasing home values that provide homeowners with equity to fund improvements, creates a favorable long-term outlook for the carpet industry as soft flooring remains a preferred choice for bedrooms, living rooms, and other comfort-focused areas where warmth and sound reduction are prioritized.

Advanced Performance Technologies Meeting Specialized Consumer Needs

The American carpet industry is experiencing a technological renaissance, with manufacturers developing advanced performance features that address specific consumer pain points and lifestyle requirements. A particularly significant development is the emergence of pet-friendly carpet technologies that respond to the needs of the 67% of US households that own pets. Beyond pet-friendly solutions, manufacturers are also introducing products designed for previously challenging applications, such as unconditioned spaces where traditional carpeting could not be installed. Mohawk Industries launched its SolidTech R collection in early 2025, a sustainable flooring solution specifically engineered for three-season rooms and other spaces without climate control, combining durability and water resistance with renewable materials. The integration of antimicrobial treatments, solution-dyed nylon for superior color retention, and advanced backing systems that improve installation efficiency demonstrates how technology is expanding carpet's addressable market while enhancing performance across all applications. These innovations are particularly appealing to younger, environmentally conscious consumers who seek products that combine functionality, sustainability, and style without compromising on durability or ease of maintenance.
