MARKET INSIGHT Introduction
Introduction In 2019, the UK resilient floorcoverings segment accounted for an estimated 19% of the total UK floorcoverings market having grown share since 2016. Used in both residential and contract applications the sector, which includes sheet vinyl, LVT, rubber and safety flooring, continued to outperform the total floorcoverings market between 2016 and 2019. This was underpinned by the product range offered, design innovation and increased colour palettes.
Market Overview & Trends
Although a mature market sector, resilient flooring has managed to rejuvenate itself a number of times over the last decade, through product and design innovations. These have contributed to the vinyl sector in particular being able to defend share from competing products such as woods and floor tiles.
Market Overview & Trends Although a mature market sector, resilient flooring has managed to rejuvenate itself a number of times over the last decade, through product and design innovations. These have contributed to the vinyl sector in particular being able to defend share from competing products such as woods and floor tiles.
Interior design trends have continued to influence the choice of flooring products in both homes and commercial premises. Whilst the overriding trend for a mixture of products continues, the use of colour, embossing, texture and simulation of natural products, such as stone and wood, have also been key features of the resilient floorcoverings market over the last two to three years.
Suppliers to the UK market have introduced sector specific products to the market which have seen vinyl and safety flooring consolidate and even improve market share, particularly in the contract sector. The health and residential care sector has been a particular focus in recent years with the continuing development of dementia and visual impairment friendly products that have anti-sparkle finishes but also include more defined colour blocks and patterns.
Sustainability and environmental credentials are increasingly cited within the market, not only in terms of raw materials and amount of recyclate used, but also the end-of-life considerations. This has benefited some rubber, cork and linoleum products but they remain much smaller sectors of the overall resilient market.

Whilst continuing to experience overall growth, the market remains under pressure from the squeeze on average prices. This price pressures stems not only from competition within the resilient flooring sector but also from other floorcoverings products. The focus on LVT in both the domestic and contract end-use sector has also increased the numbers of suppliers targeting the UK market seeking to increase market penetration and share.
International trade remains a focus for the sector with LVT in particular import dependent.
