Market Introduction
Floor care polymers are polishes, wax, sealers, cleaners, and many other products used to take care of different flooring types, including marble, tiles, wooden, and others. Floor care polymers and additives offer a variety of performance features, including water and UV resistance. Additives for sealers and polishes create rigid, durable films that resist high-traffic use and reduce maintenance costs by increasing the timeframe between applications. These products also provide a wide range of other performance features, including water-resistance, high gloss, and faster drying. Floor care polymers are widely used in residential buildings, commercial office buildings, and industries, including automotive, electrical & electronics, textile, aerospace, defense, medical, and others.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The floor care polymers market in Europe is expected to reach US$ 1,271.23 million by 2027 from US$ 836.55 million in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2020 to 2027. The rise in demand for floor care polymers in Germany and the Rest of Europe is the key factor driving the growth of the floor care polymers market in Europe. The floor care polymers are experiencing a massive demand in Germany and the Rest of Europe due to the rising industrial and commercial spending in these countries. The industrial market in Europe is experiencing a record-setting run. The rise in demand for modern functional logistics space is on the surge in Europe. Germany and the Rest of Europe are expecting incremental growth owing to the growing industrial sectors like aerospace, defense, warehouses, manufacturing companies, and chemical factories. These industries use floor care polymers as the flooring requires a professional look to attract clients, customers, and other interested parties. The industries are very much focused on improving the flooring of their buildings and offices and invest vast amounts in the flooring, which raises the demand for floor care polymers in these countries. The number of commercial sectors like hotels, restaurants, motels, health & educational institutions In Europe is witnessing incremental growth during the past few years. The flooring in these sectors needs to be hard, decorative, and easy to maintain due to the ever-increasing foot traffic in these areas. The floor care polymers used in the commercial sectors provide a high gloss surface and come in various colors. The Government expenditure in the industrial and commercial sectors in Germany and the Rest of Europe is increasing, which raises the need for flooring in the building and offices. The rise in the expenditure, the need to maintain proper flooring to maintain a professional touch, and improve flooring's service life is expected to provide a lucrative opportunity for the floor care polymers' growth soon.
However, the laborious filling process and other polymer flooring complexities hinder the growth of Europe floor care polymers. Furthermore, COVID-19 has affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. In Europe, Italy, and Russia is the hardest-hit country by the coronavirus outbreak. It is anticipated to suffer an economic hit due to a lack of revenue from various industries, as Italy recorded the highest number of coronavirus cases. Other member states have implemented drastic measures and travel restrictions, including partially closing their borders. This is anticipated to impact market growth in Europe negatively.
