MARKET DYNAMICS

MARKET DRIVERS

Rapidly Growing Building & Construction Industry is anticipated to Drive Market Growth

Flooring is an integral part of the building, and the growing building and construction industry is anticipated to be a key driver for the growth of the U.S. resilient flooring market.

The construction sector witnessed a significant recovery following the setback encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Central Banks of the world's major economies, including the United States adopted the Easy Money Policy during the pandemic, making easy availability of loans at lower rates, resulting in increased investment into building and construction projects. Apart from that, many people working from home had more time and more savings to focus on the remodeling and renovations of their homes. All these factors together led to the rise in demand for resilient flooring.

After significantly controlling the spread of COVID-19, the government launched several initiatives to get industrial activities back on track, which has pushed rising urbanization. For instance, to generate high-paying jobs, the Biden administration came up with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Under these initiatives, the government kept a target to spend around USD 1.2 trillion for funding infrastructure projects, which include a range of civil construction projects across the country. This initiative also provides expanded funding, enabling states to retrofit several. Therefore, the rising building and construction industry, supported by government initiatives and the increasing purchasing power of consumers is poised to significantly drive the growth of the resilient flooring market during the forecast period.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Volatility in Raw Material Prices and Concerns Associated with Waste Management Limit Market Growth

Fluctuations in raw materials prices may limit the growth of the resilient flooring market by affecting the manufacturer's profitability. Increasing prices of the major raw materials used in the manufacturing of flooring products, including vinyl and others, result in increased production costs and, thereby, higher costs of the finished products. Higher prices ultimately affect the demand for the products, thereby affecting their competitiveness in the market.

Additionally, the U.S. resilient flooring industry is associated with the generation of a significant amount of waste during manufacturing, installation, remodeling, or renovation and demolition. The waste generated mainly includes scraps, old flooring materials, adhesives, packaging, and other related waste. Disposal of large volumes of waste is costly and time-consuming. Moreover, some of these wastes, including underlays, adhesives, and packing materials, are hazardous to human health and the environment. The disposal of such hazardous waste is guided by the rules and regulations specified by regulatory and environmental bodies.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Manufacturing of Sustainable Products is to Present Lucrative Opportunities

The manufacturing and use of many flooring products affect the environment and human health. Hence, the production of environment-friendly and energy-efficient flooring products is anticipated to present lucrative opportunities in the near future.

Certain flooring products emit VOCs, which can pollute the indoor environment, affecting human health. To deal with such restraints, manufacturers are focusing on reducing the VOC content of the product. For instance, in November 2022, Tarkett S.A. launched its renowned Johnsonite brand of flooring products. The brand's adherence to stringent material health, renewable energy, product circularity, climate requirements, water stewardship, and social fairness criteria provides a competitive edge to the company.

Reducing water and energy requirements for manufacturing resilient flooring products helps increase the product's sustainability and improves the company's profitability. To reduce their carbon footprint, manufacturers are also moving toward the adoption of solar technology. Additionally, investment in research and development to manufacture products from flooring waste presents significant opportunities for the market during the forecast period.

MARKET CHALLENGES

Environmental Challenges May Limit Market Growth

While some resilient flooring products are eco-friendly, others, such as vinyl, raise concerns about their environmental impact during manufacturing. There is a growing pressure on manufacturers to adopt greener practices. Moreover, there is a strong consumer shift toward environmentally friendly materials, including linoleum and rubber flooring, both of which are derived from renewable resources. These materials are durable and help reduce carbon footprints, appealing to sustainability-conscious buyers.

U.S. RESILIENT FLOORING MARKET TRENDS

Technological Advancements in Flooring is a Prominent Trend in the Market

The development of resilient flooring, especially LVT, benefits from technological innovations such as digital printing, which allows for realistic and customizable designs. Enhanced antimicrobial properties and ease of cleaning also make resilient flooring a preferred option post-COVID-19, particularly in healthcare and educational facilities.

IMPACT OF COVID-19

Flooring products are highly used in the construction industry. The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the industry due to a shortage of labor, movement restrictions, raw material shortages, and disruption in the supply chain. This caused significant setbacks in production and operations. For instance, according to Ceramic Tile and Stone Consultants, Inc., U.S. imports of floor-covering products from China declined by 21%.
