The global decorative laminates market size was valued at $7.0 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $10.0 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2022 to 2031. Decorative laminates are furnishing products used for providing greater aesthetic appeal to the external surface of furniture, walls, and other static and movable building components such as floors and doors & windows. They are manufactured using resins and high-quality kraft paper, pressed at high amount of heat and pressure, which make it durable and resistant to moisture.

The decorative laminates market was hampered during the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, owing to restrictions on manufacturing activities. In addition, reduced home remodeling and furnishing activities during the initial stages of lockdown, negatively impacted the market.

Rise in global population and increase in trend of living in nuclear families have significantly increased the demand for residential infrastructure. This has fueled the use of decorative laminates, as they are extensively applied on floors, walls, doors, windows. Furthermore, the furniture & cabinets industry is witnessing significant growth, owing to rise in number of dwellings and other residential and non-residential buildings. Moreover, the COVID-19-induced work-from-home culture is fueling the demand for furniture & cabinets by home owners. Therefore, expansion of the furniture & cabinets industry has significantly increased the demand for decorative laminates, as they are extensively used in furniture & cabinets manufacturing to enhance aesthetical appearance and durability. Moreover, decorative laminate offers many advantageous features as compared to other similar surface finishing products.  For instance, they are moisture-proof, abrasion- & impact-resistant, and require little to no maintenance. Such features make them a cost-effective option over a longer period. In addition, the availability of a wide range of decorative laminates having varied thickness, durability, patterns, appearance, and prices is driving their demand, thus propelling the decorative laminates market growth.

The major decorative laminate manufacturers such as Panolam Industries International, Inc., Greenlam Industries Limited, and Fletcher Building offer a wide variety of high- and low-pressure laminates to consumers. Furthermore, a few manufacturers offer customized printed laminates to the end users. Moreover, various development strategies are adopted by the decorative laminates manufacturers to sustain harsh competition in the market. For instance, in August 2021, Century Laminates, a part of Century Plyboards Ltd., launched a new range of gloss laminates. Similarly, business expansion strategy helps in gaining a significant market share. For instance, in December 2021, Greenlam Industries Ltd., an India-based laminate manufacturer, announced its plans for establishing its manufacturing facility in Naidupeta, in Andhra Pradesh. This facility will manufacture laminates sheets and ply and particle boards.

The novel coronavirus has rapidly spread across various countries and regions, causing an enormous impact on the lives of people and the overall community. It began as a human health condition and later became a significant threat to global trade, economy, and finance. The COVID-19 pandemic had halted the production of many components of decorative laminates due to lockdown. The economic slowdown initially resulted in reduced spending on various applications of decorative laminates by residential and commercial users. However, after lifting of initial lockdowns, demand for residential furniture was positively influenced owing to rise in work from home culture. Furthermore, owing to the introduction of various vaccines, the severity of COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reduced. As of mid-2022, the number of COVID-19 cases have diminished significantly. This has led to the full-fledged reopening of decorative laminates manufacturing companies at their full-scale capacities. Furthermore, it has been more than two years since the outbreak of this pandemic, and many companies have already shown notable signs of recovery.

Furthermore, expansion of the tourism industry across the world fueled by rise in globalization, reduced air fares, and increase in purchasing capacity of masses is anticipated to boost the growth of the decorative laminates industry. In addition, improvement in standard of living and increase in spendings on home remodeling projects, especially in high income countries, are anticipated to positively influence the decorative laminates market throughout the forecast period.
