It also continues to supplant itself as the flooring industry leader, second only to carpet in terms of market share, according to a report by Floor Covering News. Vinyl flooring, also known as resilient flooring, has earned its reputation as the venerable flooring system for a host of reasons. Here are a few of those reasons.

Luxury vinyl tile is leading the way

As one of the many subcategories of vinyl flooring (vinyl flooring comes in sheets, tiles and planks), LVT has a sizable share of the overall Vinyl Flooring pie at $949 million, or 43% of the overall resilient flooring category. That's because LVT is user-friendly, which means it's easy to install and can be laid on any terrain. In particular, LVT contains more vinyl, which in turn creates a better performing flooring system that looks more realistic.

The popularity of vinyl flooring has a lot to do with the real estate market

Another reason vinyl flooring manufacturers have been so busy is the continued growth of the commercial and residential markets. The residential market in particular is proving to be a big boon for vinyl flooring. According to Floor Covering News, the residential market accounts for almost half of the vinyl flooring market in terms of replacement flooring. Business growth in various industries has also proven to help the vinyl flooring sector. More and more companies are turning to durable and practical vinyl flooring products to outfit their headquarters or retail centers.
