Europe Wall Coverings Market Analysis
The Europe Wall Coverings Market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.34% during the forecast period.
- The rise in the number of residential houses or complexes, due to an increasing number of nuclear families, caused the residential segment to hold a large share over commercial applications. In the present scenario, wall panels and wallpapers, which are sub-segments of wall coverings, are the dominant products.
- The European population has been concerned about the home furniture and décor systems. Owing to the increasing number of high-income population, the spending on home furnishing has increased over the past few years. Due to this demand, European companies are investing significantly in innovative wall coverings. For instance, Kobe's library offers a wide range of fabrics and wall coverings to create one's own personal statement in interiors.
- High inventory costs have been one of the biggest challenges to the growth of the wall coverings industry. Distributors are needed to stockpile the number of patterns, styles, and raw materials, and store them in controlled environments to protect them from various climatic conditions. Such storage requirements are coupled with very low inventory turnover rates.

The United Kingdom is Expected to Hold Major Share
- There were 27.2 million households in the United Kingdom, in 2017. The number of households increased by 6%, since 2007, similar to the growth in the UK population, during this period.
- Being the sixth-largest construction sector in the world, the UK construction industry is a major contributor to the domestic economy. It is a highly prioritized industry, with a pledge from the government to build 1,000,000 homes by 2020, and another 500,000 in the subsequent two years.
- The country has also witnessed a trend in off-site construction, particularly in urban areas. The Steel Construction Institute has been able to identify reduced construction time from 76-54 weeks, mainly achievable by using prefabricated and preglazed wall panels, permitting a faster weather-tight building envelope, thereby, allowing other trades to work inside the building.
- According to Hiscox, the number of homeowners, choosing to improve their homes, rather than move, has risen fivefold, since 2013. Also, it is estimated that 53% of owners have carried out some sort of renovation project over the past 10 years.
- Such factors are expected to boost the market studied in this country over the forecast period.
