In addition, carpet tiles act as insulation and help trap heat in cold weather, increasing its demand in cold countries. Innovation in the industry is related to eco-friendly carpet tiles manufacturing. Their flexibility in terms of ease of installation, high level of customizability in terms of design and size, optimum pricing, and certain other attributes, such as noise insulation and easy maintenance, make their demand high. The market's growth is driven by key factors, such as manufacturing activity, market situation and demand, risks of the market, new trends, and new technologies and their implementation.
