The hard surface flooring market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $38.24 billion in 2023 to $40.54 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The expansion during the historical period can be attributed to urbanization, population growth, the expansion of the housing market, economic development, and lifestyle changes.

The hard surface flooring market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $49.66 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainable building practices, the demand for luxury and customized flooring, increased activities in residential and commercial construction, growth in the real estate market, and the prevalence of renovation and remodeling activities. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the rising popularity of luxury vinyl tiles, an increased focus on sustainable and eco-friendly flooring options, the integration of digital printing technology, a demand for seamless and low-maintenance flooring solutions, and a growing interest in modular and customizable flooring designs.

The anticipated growth of the hard surface flooring market is driven by the increasing volume of construction activities. Construction activities encompass the entire process of building, from planning and execution to the completion of structures. Hard surface flooring, characterized by durability, simplicity of maintenance, and versatility, has become a favored building material for both commercial and residential spaces. The practical and aesthetic advantages of hard surface flooring, including ease of maintenance, customization options, and longevity, contribute to its popularity. A report by Oxford Economics in September 2021 revealed that global construction output reached $10.7 trillion in 2020 and is projected to increase by $4.5 trillion, or 42%, from 2020 to 2030, reaching $15.2 trillion. Consequently, the upswing in construction activities is a driving force behind the growth of the hard surface flooring market.

The growth of the hard surface flooring market is further fueled by the ongoing trend of urbanization. Urbanization refers to the migration of individuals from rural to urban areas, resulting in the expansion and development of cities and towns. This phenomenon often triggers heightened construction activities across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Hard surface flooring, including materials such as tiles, hardwood, laminate, and vinyl, gains prominence in construction due to its durability, visual appeal, and ease of upkeep, fostering demand for these flooring options. A report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in July 2022 highlighted the notable urbanization trends in developing economies, particularly in Asia and Oceania, where the urban rate increased from 44.0% in 2012 to 50.6% in 2022. Thus, the escalating pace of urbanization is a key driver behind the growth of the hard surface flooring market.

A prominent trend in the hard surface flooring market is the adoption of technological advancements. Major companies in the market are actively incorporating new technologies and solutions to maintain their competitive positions. For example, in April 2023, Bjelin Sweden AB, a Swedish hardwood flooring manufacturer, introduced a new range of hardened wood 3.0 floors. This innovative line features updated colors, formats, and technologies, including a water-resistant floor-locking system for swift, straightforward, and enduring installation with a watertight joint. The floors also incorporate the proprietary Woodura technology, an environmentally friendly method that produces authentic wood floors that are up to three times more robust than traditional wood.

Continuing with the trend of innovation, major companies in the hard surface flooring market are focusing on developing creative solutions to meet evolving consumer preferences, enhance performance, and promote sustainability in flooring materials. For instance, in June 2023, AHF Products, a U.S.-based manufacturer of durable hard surface flooring, unveiled a new vinyl sheet collection named 'Natralis.' This collection provides products that combine realism, comfort, and durability, mimicking natural materials such as stone, ceramic, and hardwood. The vinyl sheet, available in roll format and customizable sizes, offers easy cleaning and is suitable for high-moisture areas. AHF Products aims to cater to both practical and aesthetic needs in commercial settings through a vibrant and extensive color palette.

In February 2022, Paceline Equity Partners LLC, a U.S.-based private equity firm, completed the acquisition of AHF LLC for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move is expected to enhance the positioning of both companies in the flooring industry, leveraging Paceline's expertise and established industry connections to support AHF's growth, both organically and inorganically. AHF LLC is a U.S.-based hard surface flooring manufacturer.
