Description
Vinyl flooring market Germany: modular design flooring and forecast to 2031
How is the vinyl flooring market in Germany developing? The dataset captures demand for click-fitted vinyl design flooring in million m², quarterly from Q1/2021 to Q4/2031 – as historical market data and forecast.
Vinyl design flooring means modular, multi-layer resilient coverings installed with a click profile: luxury vinyl tiles with click joints (LVT), planks with a rigid solid polymer core (SPC) and variants with a foamed expanded polymer core (EPC). Fully glued dryback LVT and homogeneous or heterogeneous PVC sheet, mainly used in commercial projects, are not part of this dataset.
Design vinyl is the growth segment among floor coverings and the biggest winner of substitution, taking share from laminate and carpet for years because it is waterproof, quieter underfoot and warmer to the touch. Growth comes mainly from SPC, while older click LVT is shrinking; on balance the modular segment expands. Home renovation is the focus, where click installation also appeals to DIY users. Vinyl is also far stronger in commercial use than laminate, with durability and references securing offices, hotels, hospitals and schools. The segment’s dip in the recent downturn was shallower than laminate’s.
Which questions about the vinyl flooring market does the dataset answer?
- How strongly does demand for vinyl design flooring grow to 2031 despite weak construction?
- When does demand reach its low point, and when does it pick up again?
- What does renovation of non-residential buildings contribute?
- How resilient is renovation demand in housing while new build stays weak?
Who is the dataset for?
Manufacturers and importers of design flooring plan sourcing, stock and sales; suppliers of plastic compounds, decor films and click profiles derive their volumes. DIY chains and flooring retailers steer purchasing and stock, floor layers and contract fitters their capacity, while architects, investors and analysts follow the growth segment in flooring.
Data basis and methodology
The total market is provided along with separate figures for new build and renovation and for housing and non-residential use. The model links completion and permit data and renovation activity with the click vinyl share of newly covered floors and annually renewed floor area, plus a structural trend for growth of the modular segment. The model was cross-checked against available market and industry data as well as internal data.
Delivered as CSV and Excel files, each in German and English, with 44 quarterly values. Related datasets: Laminate flooring, Carpet (rolls/tiles), Linoleum and all data on interior fit-out and flooring.
