The US flooring market is valued at USD 45.47 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 62.42 billion by 2030, expanding at a 6.51% CAGR.
Residential renovation activity, resilient product innovation, and strong population growth in Sunbelt states underpin the current momentum of the US flooring market. Demand is reinforced by tax-advantaged commercial retrofits that offset the drag from high borrowing costs. Scale manufacturers concentrate on waterproof and scratch-resistant technologies, while direct-to-consumer e-commerce rapidly reshapes go-to-market models. Sustained raw-material inflation and an acute installer shortage remain the key cost pressures that temper the otherwise upbeat outlook of the US flooring market.
Expanded eligibility for tax-exempt entities unlocks demand from government and nonprofit facilities that have historically delayed floor replacements. Retrofits dovetail with post-pandemic reconfiguration of interiors, so flooring upgrades that deliver both acoustic and thermal performance rise to the top of specification lists. Design firms are aligning bids with tax schedules, creating a steady backlog for installers in dense commercial districts. The change supports premium resilient and carpet-tile platforms that incorporate recycled content while meeting energy targets.
Hybrid work models catalyze demand for modular flooring that can be lifted and re-laid when seating plans change. Carpet tile volumes surpassed pre-pandemic commercial forecasts as operators seek quick-turn solutions during lease renegotiations. Resimercial aesthetics blend soft textures with hard-surface accents so designers specify collections that balance underfoot comfort with chair-castor durability. Acoustic backing systems mitigate noise in open plans and support wellness certifications. Smaller installation zones favour click-lock systems that minimize downtime, a feature prized by co-working providers that monetize space churn. Suppliers are therefore investing in dye-infusion print technologies that enable rapid customization without extending lead times.
Transaction volumes in commercial real estate fell 37% in 2023 and a further 14% in 2024 . Developers defer speculative ground-ups, curbing floor covering demand in large core-shell projects. Vacancies in legacy office towers extend retrofit cycles, pushing landlords to phase upgrades rather than execute full-floor replacements. Retail capital expenditure is similarly cautious as e-commerce captures discretionary spending. The US flooring market thus shifts focus toward refurbishment programs that can proceed under constrained budgets. Suppliers bundle value-engineered lines with financing support, yet volume shortfalls in gateway cities continue to temper overall growth.

Carpets and rugs retained 36.01% of the US flooring market in 2024 due to acoustic benefits in multifamily housing and offices. However, resilient flooring is forecast to grow at a 7.91% CAGR, almost 2.3 percentage points above the overall US flooring market. Luxury vinyl tile and rigid core collections spearhead adoption because they deliver waterproof performance and easy maintenance. The shift pulls share from non-resilient hard surfaces such as site-finished wood and ceramic in entry-level price tiers. Notably, PVC-free resilient lines led by Mohawk's PureTech have broadened acceptance among sustainability-focused buyers.
In 2024, the resilient category also benefited from cost stabilization in calcium carbonate fillers, supporting aggressive promotional pricing during peak remodeling season. As a result, SPC click-lock planks featured prominently in direct-to-consumer bundles marketed through social platforms. Manufacturers augment margins through proprietary wear layers that qualify for extended warranties, a feature that resonates with homeowners concerned about long-term value.
