Smart (intelligent) flooring is an integrated sensor & microelectronics underlay that can be deployed under any kind of flooring such as carpet, PVC, and laminate. It enables users to track people's speed, falls, spills, and gait without any need for pressure-based sensors. In addition to monitoring movements, some advancements also enable electricity generation. With such innovative features, the technology is being implemented in various areas by key players in the market. For instance,
With high-tech enhancements in the market, the growth of the global smart flooring market share can be attributed to several sectors, such as gaming, sports, healthcare, malls, and musical events.
The COVID-19 pandemic surged the demand for smart home products, and awareness regarding these products increased during this period. According to a survey, around 80% of consumers were unaware of smart home technology before the pandemic. Social distancing became the norm during the outbreak and products, such as smart cameras and smart security systems, gained traction across residential and commercial spaces.
The adoption of smart building technologies and connected equipment increased with the enforcement of new policies during the pandemic. The ability of smart building technologies helps to monitor and implement these policies, thus improving building efficiency.
Smart floors - one of the elements of smart buildings - also gained popularity during the pandemic as they ensured the safety of customers while lining up for coffee and food. For instance, the Australian Graphene Industry Association introduced On-Q-Mat, which used state-of-the-art technology to ensure social distancing.
Hence, smart flooring ensured social distancing during the pandemic. However, post-pandemic, the technology solutions will gain traction in residential and commercial spaces for various applications.
