Abstract
The carpet and rugs industry is divided into two primary markets, residential and commercial. In 2006, the residential market made up about three-fourths of the total industry amounts shipped and the commercial market comprised approximately one fourth of the total industry shipments. Residential replacement demand is also increasing and approximately half of the industry shipments are made in response to residential replacement demand. U.S., Belgium, and Turkey are the world leaders in machine-made rugs and leading carpet markets.
