“Floor Covering News” (US well-known geological industry information website) pointed out in the report that in 2017, flexible floor continued the splendid trend of 2016, and only in the first 6 months of 2017 showed a positive growth. In the year, resilient flooring maintained strong growth in the United States, benefiting from the economic recovery in the United States and thanks to the outstanding performance of flexible flooring.

In the elastic floor, there are many subdivisions. The mainstream product is PVC material, accounting for 90% of the flexible floor market, mainly including: multi-layer sheet LVT, multi-layer coils, the same permeable coil, stone-plastic sheet VCT, safety anti-skid flooring, wear-resistant quartz flooring, sports flooring Etc.; other materials add up to less than 10% mainly include cork, rubber, linen and so on.

Floor Covering News survey concluded that in 2016, total sales of flexible floorboards increased by 19.7% to 2.94 billion U.S. dollars in 2015, reaching 3.499 billion U.S. dollars. This growth rate is almost four times that of the entire industry. In addition, flexible floor sales accounted for 16.5% of the total sales of the entire floor industry, and it is the highest among all hard floor materials. Industry experts predict that the sales growth of 2017 flexible floor will continue, especially today's waterproof products are more and more popular with consumers. Industry experts also said that WPC and SPC will achieve rapid growth, while other categories of floor will continue to lose the overall market share. Especially for laminate flooring, due to the inability to properly solve the water and noise problems, with the advent of WPC, SPC products, will be a greater impact.

In the past five years, the United States has invested a large amount of funds in the production of carpets and carpet tiles, but the carpet market is shrinking. Laminate flooring is under siege by LVT products and is therefore busy reshaping itself to enhance competitiveness.
Experts predict that the growth of LVT will continue until 2018, and WPC and SPC will have greater market prospects.
