Trading conditions have been anything but plush for floor covering retailers. Mounting competition and volatile residential building construction activity have made it harder for stores to post a sale. However, it hasn't all been bad news, as the COVID-19 pandemic fuelled a spike in demand for floor coverings in the early part of the five years through 2024-25. The post-pandemic environment has presented new issues for floor covering retailers. A surge in inflation and higher interest rates have intensified cost-of-living pressures, causing consumer sentiment and discretionary income to tumble. At the same time, residential building construction has been derailed, with demand declining consecutively over the three years through 2023-24. Industry revenue is expected to have been falling at an annualised 1.1% over the past five years to $4.0 billion. This includes an anticipated climb of 1.2% in 2024-25. Going forwards, industry revenue is forecast to grow at an annualised 2.0% over the five years through 2029-30, to $4.4 billion. Improved economic conditions are set to fuel an upswing in population numbers and higher overall net migration. Increased residential building construction activity will boost demand for housing and, in turn, new floor coverings. Easing inflationary pressures will propel a dip in the official cash rate, reigniting consumers’ interest in home building. However, competition from hardware and building supplies retailers and online-only sites is set to ramp up as external retailers vie for a larger share of the floor coverings market. Nonetheless, floor covering retailers are set to remain profitable, as an appreciation of the Australian dollar makes international purchases more affordable for retailers.
