Raised Floor Global Market Report 2025

The raised floor market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.73 billion in 2024 to $1.9 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to expansion of corporate office construction, growth of data center colocation facilities, increasing enterprise cabling requirements, adoption of open-plan workplaces needing flexible services, and compliance with fire and safety access standards.

The raised floor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to accelerated data center construction pipelines, rising demand for office fit-outs and refurbishments, flexible workplace policies increasing churn, growth in shared services and back-office hubs, and stricter fire and acoustic performance standards. Key trends in the forecast period include sensor-embedded raised floor panels and pedestals, artificial intelligence-driven airflow and energy optimization, internet of things-based monitoring of underfloor temperature and pressure, digital twin-assisted commissioning and maintenance of plenums, and building information modelling-integrated layout and clash detection.

The rising demand for data centers is expected to drive the growth of the raised floor market going forward. Data centers are specialized facilities housing networked computers, storage systems, and related infrastructure used to store, process, and manage large volumes of digital data. Demand for data centers is increasing due to the rapid adoption of cloud computing, as businesses rely more on cloud-based services for secure and efficient data management. Raised floors enhance data center infrastructure by providing organized underfloor spaces for cabling and airflow management. They improve cooling efficiency, support flexible equipment layouts, and enable easier maintenance, boosting overall operational performance and reliability. For instance, in September 2024, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, a US-based government agency, reported that the United States has approximately 5,000 data centers, with domestic demand projected to grow around nine percent annually through 2030. Therefore, the rising demand for data centers is fueling the growth of the raised floor market.

Key companies in the raised floor market are focusing on innovative flooring solutions, such as smart and modular raised floor systems, to enhance flexibility, efficiency, and infrastructure performance. Smart and modular raised flooring refers to systems designed with integrated underfloor air distribution, modular panels, and embedded sensors to optimize airflow, cooling, and power management in modern commercial and data center environments. For example, in April 2023, Kingspan Group, an Ireland-based building materials company, launched the RMG600+ Low-Carbon Raised Access Floor Panel, a smart and modular raised flooring system. This panel reduces embodied carbon by 57% compared to standard panels, using low-carbon steel, renewable energy, and 86% recycled content. Tested to the PSA:2021 medium grade standard and backed by a 25-year warranty, the RMG600+ combines advanced materials engineering with sustainable manufacturing, offering a high-performance and environmentally responsible solution.

In June 2025, BESIX Invest NV, a Belgium-based construction and infrastructure investment company, acquired a minority stake in Mobius Benelux B.V. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to scale refurbishment and resale of raised-access floor tiles across the Benelux region, enhance circular-economy capabilities, and reduce embodied carbon in commercial fit-outs by extending the service life of existing floor systems. Mobius Benelux B.V. is a Belgium-based company specializing in the recovery, refurbishment, and reconditioning of raised access floor panels.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

The raised floor market research report is one of a series of new reports that provides raised floor market statistics, including raised floor industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a raised floor market share, detailed raised floor market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the raised floor industry. This raised floor market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

A raised floor is a modular flooring system installed on adjustable pedestals above the building’s structural slab, using removable panels to create a service void between the subfloor and walking surface. Its key purpose is to enable easy routing and management of cables, wiring, and HVAC systems, commonly used in data centers, offices, and control rooms to provide flexibility, cooling, and maintenance efficiency.

The key types of raised floors include steel-encapsulated, calcium sulphate board, aluminum board, chipboard encapsulated, and others. Steel-encapsulated panels are highly durable and fire-resistant flooring systems designed to support heavy loads, making them suitable for modern commercial and data center environments. They are available in various design types, including standard design, customized design, eco-friendly design, and smart raised floors, and are applied in data centers, offices, clean rooms, and institutional buildings. Major end-users include information technology (IT) and telecommunications, banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), healthcare, government, and others.
