The Indian rug and doormat market has witnessed substantial growth, particularly in exports. India stands as a major manufacturer and exporter of handmade rugs and mats, known for its designs and craftsmanship. Here, key markets include the US, Europe, and the Middle East. Trends indicate a rising demand for eco-friendly products, favoring natural fibers like jute, cotton, and wool, along with a preference for contemporary designs blending tradition with modern aesthetics. However, the industry faces challenges such as fluctuating raw material prices, labor shortages, and competition from countries like China and Turkey. Compliance with international quality standards and environmental regulations, alongside logistical issues, adds to the hurdles.
