Industry Threats & Opportunities

  • The industry is benefiting from new investments in housing stock and improving construction markets
  • Growth in nonresidential demand caused many operators to return to the industry
  • The recovery of the US housing market is expected to underpin strong industry growth

    • Industry Analysis & Industry Trends

    Over the past five years, operators in the Flooring Installers industry have experienced a variety of conditions as the US economy has recovered from the recession and housing values have begun to rebound. With the resurgence of residential construction markets, flooring installers are benefiting from new investments in housing stock. Similarly, nonresidential construction returned to growth during the five-year period as increasing consumer spending revived corporate profit margins. Over the next five years, industry operators are forecast to experience more favorable conditions. Strong residential growth during the period, especially in the next two years, will help flooring contractors increase profitability and expand revenue.
