US Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) Flooring

This study analyzes the $12.4 billion luxury vinyl tile industry. It presents historical demand data (2012, 2017, and 2022) and forecasts (2027 and 2032) by product (rigid core and flexible core), market (residential, non-residential) and application (new, remodelling). Annual historical data and forecasts are also provided from 2019 to 2026.

LVT’s advanced rigid core segments like wood-plastic and stone-plastic composites are poised for sustained growth.

Superior resilience
Sound absorption
Dimensional stability

Demand for luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring in the US is forecast to increase 8.3% per year to 12.5 billion square feet in 2027, supported by:

a continuing shift in US consumer preferences away from carpet to LVT and other hard surface flooring products
rising residential remodeling activity in the US through 2027
LVT’s ability to improve a home’s market value
increasing usage in the commercial market, as flexible core products allow for the replacement of small sections or individual tiles rather than the entire floor
LVT to Become Most Popular Product in US, Ending Carpet’s Decades-Long Dominance

In 2024, LVT flooring is projected to surpass carpeting as the most popular flooring product in the US. Luxury vinyl tile has seen explosive growth over the past decade, ranking among the fastest growing products ever introduced to the US flooring market. Volume demand for LVT rose 28% per year from 2012 to 2022, increasing its share from 4% to 31% of the total market. Demand has and will continue to be supported by its favorable performance properties relative to carpet, such as ease of installation, superior aesthetics, and improved durability.

Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) to be Fastest Growing Flooring Product in the US

Demand for WPC flooring is expected to grow at a double-digit rate during the forecast period. Wood-plastic composite flooring products will not only be the fastest growing LVT type, but also the fastest growing flooring product in the US.

Although WPC is the most expensive type of LVT flooring, its usage will continue to rise at a rapid rate because of its product and performance properties, including:

better sound absorption and insulation
greater resiliency and underfoot comfort
lower environmental impact, as it uses less non-renewable resources
ease of installation over any type of subfloor, including concrete, plywood, tile, and existing flooring, without the need for extensive preparation or underlayment
Historical Market Trends

Annual flooring demand is most heavily influenced by trends in the construction industry. However, demand volume is somewhat insulated from economic variations in new construction activity because of the significant replacement need in residential and commercial buildings:

The large base of installed flooring is subject to high levels of wear and will require replacement at some point as a matter of course.
Flooring can be damaged beyond repair before the end of its lifespan (as in building fires or severe weather events), thereby requiring new installations.
Flooring also serves a decorative purpose, so it may be replaced before the end of its lifespan when a consumer wants to change a room or structure’s appearance.

Currency and pricing effects can yield significant volatility in value terms. For example, from 2020 to 2022, pandemic-related supply chain issues and high raw material costs precipitated flooring price increases that caused demand value to somewhat decouple from area for most flooring products. However, due to its rapid adoption as a newer material, LVT’s performance has not been as closely tied to these indicators as other more established flooring products.
