Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on raw materials such as vinyl polymers, rubber compounds, ceramic tiles, natural stone, and hardwood imports are increasing production and procurement costs across flooring categories, particularly affecting LVT, ceramic, stone, and linoleum flooring segments in North America and Europe. These tariffs disrupt supply chains, elevate retail pricing, and slow renovation and construction cycles in both residential and nonresidential markets. However, they encourage domestic sourcing, stimulate investment in regional manufacturing, and promote innovation in cost-optimized flooring solutions. Ultimately, tariffs create short-term pricing pressures but support long-term supply resilience.
