Luxury vinyl tile offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional materials like hardwood or stone, providing the look and feel of luxury at an affordable price. In addition, technological advancements in the manufacturing process have allowed for more realistic textures and patterns, enhancing the visual appeal of LVT flooring, which has been attributed to the demand for the market during the forecasted period. Further, properties of LVT, such as durability, water resistance, and ease of maintenance, make it an attractive choice for both residential and commercial applications.
Based on type, the LVT flooring market is segmented into rigid and flexible. The rigid segment held the largest share of the market in 2023 and is expected to record the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2031. Rigid LVT flooring is made from a rigid core layer of composite material, such as stone polymer or wood polymer, sandwiched between two vinyl layers. Rigid luxury vinyl tiles, also known as floating or interlocking LVT, are designed to be installed without adhesive. The rigid core layer provides additional strength and stability to luxury vinyl tiles, making them suitable for high-traffic areas and busy homes. Rigid LVT can be installed over various subfloors, including concrete, ceramic tile, and even existing vinyl flooring, making it a preferable option for renovations and remodels. Several rigid core luxury vinyl tiles have a built-in underlayment that offers additional cushioning, making the flooring more comfortable to walk on and reducing the impact of foot traffic.
