US Wall Coverings Demand by Product, 2008
US wall covering demand to increase 3.7% annually through 2013
US demand for wall coverings is projected to advance 3.7 percent per year through 2013 from a weak 2008 base. Gains will derive primarily from an expected recovery in new residential construction, a key market for wall coverings, which suffered significantly from the collapse of the US housing market in 2007 and 2008.( http://www.bharatbook.com/
Decorative tile, wall paneling products to post outsized growth
In particular, decorative tile and wall paneling products, which account for the bulk of demand, are expected to post outsized growth. Demand for wallpaper will also record positive growth through 2013. However, unlike decorative tile and wall panels, which rise and fall in tandem with construction activity, wallpaper has been in steady decline for over a decade, reflecting changing consumer tastes, the dominance of paints as the first choice in wall decoration and the difficulty inherent in applying and removing wallpaper. However, the development of a variety of new wallpaper products, such as wall cutouts, wall murals and custom wallpaper products will lead to a recovery for the product segment.
New construction residential market to expand market share from weak base
Residential markets are the primary outlet for wall coverings demand, accounting for 63 percent of total demand in 2008. Consumption is about evenly divided between new
construction and improvement and repair applications, but through 2013 new construction will expand its share of the market as residential housing recovers from a very weak
2008 base. Growth in nonresidential markets will continue to be well below average, reflecting weakness in new nonresidential construction.
