Wallpaper refers to designer patterns, textures, and digital images that are used to decorate walls. It is commonly used for interior decoration in homes and commercial spaces, catering to different aesthetic preferences and functional requirements. It adds a touch of elegance to a residential space or enhances the ambiance of a non-residential environment; wallpaper can be tailored to suit various needs and design preferences. The manufacturers categorize their products based on residential or non-residential usage. Residential wallpapers are designed to meet the specific needs of home environments, with considerations for aesthetics, durability, and ease of installation.
Commercial wallpapers, on the other hand, are engineered to withstand higher levels of traffic and wear and tear in public spaces such as offices, hotels, and restaurants. This classification is crucial as it influences the choice of paper, including factors such as thickness and weight, to ensure that the wallpaper meets the specific requirements of its intended environment.
The non-residential construction sector experiences a continuous need for non-residential developments. According to the US Commerce Department reported a 11.3% increase in total construction spending to $2.05 trillion as of November 2022. Actual construction spending reached $1.8 billion through November 2023, 6.2% higher than the previous year. Private non-residential construction spending reached $698.2 billion, private residential construction at $896.8 billion, and public construction at $455.1 billion. The construction of hotels, resorts, shopping malls, office towers, and entertainment complexes to cater to the growing influx of population and businesses has aided the demand growth of wallpapers.
Furthermore, the increased demand for non-residential and institutional spaces, including offices, retail stores, hospitals, and educational facilities, has led to a surge in the need for quality and visually appealing wallcovering to enhance these spaces' interior design and ambiance. Manufacturers are responding to this demand growth by introducing innovative wallpaper designs, textures, and materials catering to the non-residential construction sector's aesthetic preferences and functional requirements. Thus, the proliferating non-residential construction sector drives the wallpaper market.
Based on type, the wallpaper market is segmented into paper based, vinyl based, fabric based, and others. The vinyl based segment held the largest share of the market in 2023. Vinyl-based wallpaper is the most widely purchased by customers among all types of wallpaper. Vinyl-based wallpaper is highly durable, making it an excellent choice for residential purposes such as decorating kid’s rooms, bathrooms, and kitchens. It is available in numerous styles, including pre-pasted, peel-and-stick, and textured, providing endless decorating options for home and commercial buildings. Vinyl-based wallpaper has a base with a vinyl film layered on its top.
This base and layering process provides durability to wallpaper, making it thick, washable, and long-lasting. Vinyl-coated wallpaper is treated with a chemical form of vinyl, such as acrylic vinyl. This coating provides an additional layer of protection from humidity and moisture. Vinyl-based wallpaper is preferably used in public spaces, including hotels, restaurants, and shopping complexes.
