In our analysis of nylon carpet cost, we have seen an exponential increase in the past few months. After three years of relatively low fluctuation in costs, trending at 0.4% average growth rate, there was a 60.5% increase in nylon carpet costs.
The pre-COVID-19 growth rate for interior latex paint was 0.8%, rising to 9.5% due to the pandemic impact. Similarly, but even more dramatic, is the rise in costs of ceramic wall tile after COVID-19 — rising from a -8.4% decline in costs to an 8.2% increasing growth rate.
