The country produces about five million square metres of carpets annually—80 percent of which are sold in international markets.In recent times Iranian carpets have come under fierce competition from other countries producing reproductions of the original Iranian designs as well as cheaper substitutes. The designs of Persian carpets are copied by weavers from other countries as well.
