Weaving the World Together Through Global Carpet Trade

When it comes to enhancing the aesthetics of residential or commercial spaces, carpets are among the most popular choices for flooring because of their warmth, comfort, and visual appeal.  These textile floor coverings are made from a variety of materials and are available in a range of colors, patterns, and styles. Though earlier wool was the primary fiber for carpet weaving, today synthetic alternatives (such as nylon, polyester, and polypropylene) are more common due to their durability and affordability. The art of making carpets started thousands of years ago in the plains of Central Asia. Nomadic tribes used woven fabrics and mats for protection during cold winters, as they needed something more portable, functional, and easier to handle than sheepskin coverings. Besides, they also wanted to decorate their tents. Early carpets featured geometric or curvilinear patterns. The Pazyryk carpet, with its elaborate design and artistry, is the oldest surviving knotted carpet found in Siberia, dating back to the 5th century BC.  

Carpets have certainly woven their way through various cultures and periods across the world, from flourishing in Persia to becoming essential in the Ottoman and Mughal eras. The rise of the Silk Road (247 BCE – 651 CE) made Persia a major trading power, and this network of trade routes connected East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. In fact, soon Persian carpets became one of its most prized exports on the Silk Road, serving as both valuable goods and cultural bridges between East and West.  The Industrial Revolution led to the mass production of carpets with synthetic dyes and fibers. Later, 20th-century tufting technology made carpet manufacturing faster and more efficient. India, China, Turkey, the United States, and many European countries are the major players in the global carpet trade. With the growing number of carpet buyers worldwide, this popular trade commodity is creating new opportunities for exporters and suppliers.



The Growing Demand & Types of Carpets for Export and Import 

The global demand for carpets is on a constant rise due to a number of factors. The major factors include urbanization, increasing expenditure on home furnishings, and the growth of e-commerce. People today want their spaces to look aesthetically appealing and stylish, and carpets are a great way to do that, while also being practical and affordable. Furthermore, the demand for carpets is diversified across various buyer segments.
