The Tiling and Carpeting Service industry has derived a one-off stimulus since 2022 through removing and replacing carpets and other flooring in Queensland’s and New South Wales’ flood-affected regions. Still, the industry’s performance has been severely constrained by a recent new housing construction slump. Industry revenue is expected to contract at an annualised 2.4% to $5.8 billion in 2023-24, including a decline of 4.8% in the current year.
The residential building market provided some stimulus for domestic tiling and carpet installation services on the back of historically low interest rates and the Federal Government’s HomeBuilder stimulus through 2021-22. Still, the recent mortgage interest rate hikes have contributed to a sharp new housing construction correction. Contractors have faced deteriorating conditions in the apartment and townhouse construction market since its 2017-18 peak, but this has been largely offset by solid non-residential building trends through 2023-24, particularly for tiling and resilient flooring laying in institutional buildings like schools, hospitals and aged care facilities.
Home renovation tiling and carpet installation has provided a solid revenue source for the industry’s many small local contractors. This spending is supported by favourable household income trends and rising house prices. The constant substitution threat by DIY homeowners has contained profitability in the home renovation and repair markets, and the industry’s profit performance has also been constrained by escalating input costs resulting from COVID-19 supply chain blockages.
A return to a more favourable residential building market is expected to drive up domestic tiling and carpeting installation activity through 2028-29, with much of this expansion coming from an apartment construction upswing in response to mounting population pressures. Commercial tiling and carpeting contractors will continue to generate solid revenue the non-residential building market as the economy expands following COVID-19 pandemic restriction easing. Industry revenue is forecast to climb at an annualised 2.5% to $6.6 billion through the end of 2028-29.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 2.4 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $5.8bn in 2023.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
