Increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products and proliferating non-residential construction sector are among the critical factors attributed to the Middle East & Africa wallpaper market expansion.
The building & construction industry is majorly focusing on practicing sustainable construction to promote healthy and environmentally friendly living. As many individuals and businesses seek to reduce their carbon footprint, they opt for eco-friendly options. Traditional wallpaper often relies on vinyl, which is harmful to the environment as it is nonbiodegradable and emits volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Further, manufacturers offer wallpapers made from cork, grass cloth, bamboo, and recycled paper. These alternatives reduce environmental impact and provide unique texture and aesthetics, appealing to those who value both sustainability and design innovation.
The rising preference for eco-friendly wallpapers is also reflected in the adoption of certifications such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). These certifications assure consumers that the products meet stringent environmental and sustainability standards. Many wallpaper manufacturers have adapted to this shift by offering eco-friendly products without compromising design and durability. For instance, in May 2024, Kernow Coatings launched the Eco Pro Lite, a 40% less plastic and synthetic toner with excellent print quality, addressing the growing demand for sustainable materials. This versatile media is ideal for indoor displays, outdoor signage, and promotional materials, offering exceptional print quality. Thus, the increasing preference for sustainability and eco-friendly building materials is expected to bring new trends into the wallpaper market over the coming years.
