About manufacture of carpets and rugs

NACE code 13.93 covers the manufacture of carpets and rugs, an important industry that plays a vital role in the global textile and furnishing sectors. Carpets and rugs are versatile floor coverings used in residential, commercial, and institutional settings, contributing to the aesthetic appeal and comfort of indoor spaces. This industry's products are in high demand, as they cater to the needs of a wide range of customers, from individual homeowners to large-scale commercial projects.

Production process

The manufacture of carpets and rugs typically involves several key production techniques. The most common method is tufting, where yarn is inserted into a pre-woven backing material to create the desired pile and pattern. Other techniques include weaving, where the yarn is interlaced to form the carpet, and needle-felting, where the fibers are mechanically interlocked to create a non-woven fabric. Manufacturers may also employ dyeing, finishing, and other post-production processes to enhance the carpets' appearance, durability, and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The manufacture of carpets and rugs requires a variety of raw materials and resources. The primary input is textile fibers, such as wool, nylon, polyester, or a blend of these materials. Manufacturers also rely on backing materials, such as jute or polypropylene, as well as dyes, adhesives, and specialized machinery for the production process. Additionally, the industry utilizes energy sources, water, and skilled labor to transform these inputs into the final carpet and rug products.
