The Western countries dominate in the world production and trade of carpet products. In the last decade there have not been any major changes in this field. The USA which is the biggest carpet producer sells most of its output in the domestic market. However, Belgium, the leading exporter of carpets maintains its position due to certain stimulating activities. Germany has lately become one of the main exporters of carpet goods, being simultaneously the bigger importer. In the 90’s one should expect growing demand in this sector especially in the NICS and the South and Western European countries
