The wood flooring market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $53.14 billion in 2024 to $56.39 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%.

The wood flooring market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $72.85 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for customization, green building standards and certifications, health and wellness concerns, e-commerce and online retail, economic factors and construction industry. Major trends in the forecast period include preference for wide planks and unique textures, customization and personalization, popularity of reclaimed and vintage wood flooring, increased demand for engineered wood flooring, green labeling and consumer awareness.
The growth of the wood flooring market is anticipated to be driven by rising disposable income. Disposable income is defined as the amount of money that individuals or households can spend or save after income taxes and mandatory deductions have been removed from their total income. This increase in disposable income is attributed to factors such as higher wages, reduced unemployment rates, and overall economic growth, all of which enhance people's financial ability to spend after taxes. With greater disposable income, consumers are more inclined to invest in quality home improvements and upgrades, placing a higher priority on aesthetics and durability in their living environments. For example, in June 2022, a report from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, a US government agency, indicated that personal income rose by $113.4 billion, or 0.5 percent, on a monthly basis in May 2022, with disposable personal income (DPI) increasing by $96.5 billion (0.5%). Thus, the rise in disposable income is a key factor driving the growth of the wood flooring market.
The expansion of the construction sector is projected to drive the growth of the wood flooring market in the future. The construction sector encompasses the industry that builds, repairs, and maintains infrastructure, including buildings, roads, bridges, and utility systems. Wood flooring is favored in this sector due to its versatility, aesthetic appeal, and the wide range of construction methods and styles available to meet various design and functional needs. For instance, in November 2023, a report from the Office for National Statistics, a UK government agency, indicated that the 0.4% rise in construction output for September 2023 equated to an additional $76 million compared to August 2023, with three out of nine sectors showing growth during that month. The primary contributors to this increase were private housing repair and maintenance, which grew by 3.0% ($96 million), and private commercial new work, which saw a rise of 3.6% ($84 million). Thus, the growing construction sector is a significant factor driving the expansion of the wood flooring market.
Technological innovations emerge as a prominent trend driving evolution within the wood flooring market. Market leaders are harnessing innovative technologies to introduce cutting-edge products, consolidating their positions. A notable instance is Bjelin d.o.o.'s introduction of the hardened wood 3.0 floor range in April 2023. This updated line incorporates enhanced colors, formats, and technologies, including the revolutionary 5G Dry technology developed by Bjelin's sister company, Valinge Innovation. This water-resistant floor locking system ensures swift, hassle-free installation with a durable, sealed joint. Moreover, the range employs the patented Woodura technology, a sustainable method that creates real wood floors three times stronger than traditional counterparts while utilizing the same lumber volume, resulting in tenfold higher output. These innovative advancements highlight the industry's commitment to leveraging technology for enhanced wood flooring solutions.
Leading companies in the wood flooring market are embracing innovative products to maintain their competitive edge. For example, in July 2024, AHF Products, a US-based flooring solutions manufacturer, introduced the Plank flooring solution. This product is classified as a hybrid resilient flooring, placing it within the larger wood flooring market. Ingenious Plank is designed as a PVC-free alternative to traditional SPC (stone plastic composite) flooring, focusing on durability and performance while catering to environmentally conscious consumers.
In a strategic move in May 2022, Bauwerk Group AG, a Switzerland-based parquet manufacturer, successfully acquired Somerset Hardwood Flooring, a US-based manufacturer of hardwood flooring products. This acquisition signifies a pivotal step for Bauwerk, intending to fortify its global footprint and bolster its market presence in the North American flooring sector.
