The Middle East and Africa flooring market size was valued at US$ 44.78 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 68.06 billion by 2031; it is expected to register a CAGR of 6.4% from 2025 to 2031.
A rise in demand for construction materials, such as flooring tiles, due to a surge in infrastructural projects, industrialization, and sustainable construction activities in the Middle East and Africa drives the market growth. Contemporary porcelain tiles have become increasingly popular in the region, combining aesthetic appeal with functionality. Porcelain tiles are considered a cost-effective and versatile alternative to natural stone, replicating the look of granite, wood, or marble with exceptional accuracy. Additionally, the growing trend of sustainable bamboo or reclaimed wood flooring is emerging due to environmental awareness among people.
The construction in the commercial sector has upsurged in the region due to the rising tourism and the increasing immigrant population. The rising urban population has surged the demand for private residential buildings in urban and semi-urban cities, prompting governments to invest in the construction sector. The region also witnesses several ongoing and upcoming residential construction projects. For instance, the construction of a new 73-story premium residential building is set to begin by December 2025 by Walters on Cornerstone at Hainesport. Such projects drive the demand for various flooring options in the region. In addition, rising construction activities across the region and increasing government spending on infrastructure development via programs, including Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030 and Saudi Vision 2030, are also expected to positively impact the demand for flooring in the region.
The Middle East is developing ambitious projects centered around mass hotel development. Dubai has been investing in its tourism infrastructure for several years. The success of Expo 2020 has contributed significantly to this effort, and there is a strong pipeline of hotels in development, with plans for an additional 65,000 rooms to be constructed. The region's focus on attracting tourists is creating a need for the hotel infrastructure to host the tourists. Hence, various nations are increasing investment in hospitality projects, including the construction and development of hotels, resorts, and other hospitality infrastructure to cater to this demand. The giga projects such as Diriyah Gate, the Red Sea Projects, and Qiddiya account for the largest share of the hotel pipeline in the Kingdom. Diriyah Gate is planned to have 38 hotels with 5,000 hotel rooms by 2030. Thus, the growing investments in the commercial construction sector are expected to provide more lucrative opportunities for the Middle East and Africa flooring market.
