Trends and Insights
Soaring wool prices weigh on carpet and rug manufacturers’ bottom line
- Wool is a very common material in the manufacturing of carpets and rugs. It offers warmth, insulation and can be extremely soft. Additionally, there’s a strong tradition of woollen carpets and soft furnishing in the UK, Ireland, Norway and Finland, securing revenue from these countries, where wool is preferred. However, the wool used to make carpets in Europe is often imported despite significant domestic production. This is mainly the result of a disjointed domestic supply chain, which makes using domestic wool unprofitable.
