Development of carpets in Iran

In recent years, Iran's carpet industry has developed rapidly and has become an important industry to earn foreign exchange through export. On the streets of Iran, carpet shops can be seen everywhere, and all kinds of handmade carpets are available, just like the mini carpet museum, welcoming tourists from all over the world.

In recent years, the inflation in Iran is serious, and the price of carpets has soared. The price of a medium-quality carpet has reached seven or eight hundred dollars. As for the better silk carpet, it costs thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan, which makes many tourists flinch. Iranian merchants will not let tourists go home empty-handed, and various small commodities with carpet elements have emerged, such as mouse pads and coasters, to make up for people's regret that they didn't buy carpets in Iran.

Iranian hand-woven carpet has rich cultural and artistic features, which, as the guarantee of family economy, makes this work of art play an important and appropriate role in the world market. Iranian carpets are also valuable in creating employment opportunities. Hand-woven carpets, in particular, rank second among Iran's export commodities, guaranteeing the lives of more than 8 million people. Although some countries introduced this handicraft art by imitating the style of Iranian carpets, they used the design, pattern and name of Iranian carpets. However, Iranian carpets are still the first choice for pure art lovers and the world sales champion. Up to now, Iran's hand-woven carpets rank first in the world with an export share of 3 1.8%. India and Afghanistan rank second and third in the world carpet export with 22.4% and 18.3% respectively.
