Luxury Vinyl Tiles Market Overview
The Global "Luxury Vinyl Tiles Market" is estimated to reach at a CAGR of 11.2% during the forecast period (2024-2031).
Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) are interlocking flooring that replicates the appearance and feel of traditional hardwood flooring tiles. LVT is waterproof, highly durable, low in maintenance, and available in an almost endless variety of colors and wood species, making it the most recommended option for flooring replicating hardwood tiles.
The most common thickness of LVT used in everyday households is 12 mil, but if a home is pretty active or has several pets, a greater thickness of 20 mils is recommended. Most thicker tiles, such as 28 mils, are used for commercial rather than household installations. Thicker tiles are more durable and sturdier, but the price is also increased with an increase in the thickness of the tiles. The thickness and durability of the flooring significantly affect how long LVT flooring will last. If installed precisely and maintained appropriately, the flooring can last from 10-20 years, depending on the area and the thickness installed.

Luxury Vinyl Tiles Market Dynamics
The global luxury vinyl tiles market growth is driven by replacing ceramic tiles.
Replacement of ceramic tiles
Ceramic tile has dominated the market for decades due to its more stylish flooring options. However, vinyl is returning with a luxury vinyl tile category that provides increased durability and ease of maintenance over old vinyl flooring coupled with dramatic new styles at a lower price point without much installation or maintenance costs. Luxury vinyl tile is considered more budget-friendly than ceramic tile. Depending on the type of tile, ceramics can cost as much as hardwood or high-quality carpet. Apart from the cost of the materials, installing vinyl tile is 40% less than installing ceramic tile.
Moreover, installing ceramic tile is labor-intensive and needs a lot of time, demanding professionals to install the ceramic properly. Luxury vinyl tile is DIY-friendly and 60% faster to install than ceramic tile. The demand for luxury vinyl tile is growing as a replacement for ceramic tile because of the easier cleaning, quick installation time, cost-effective installation, and versatile products.
Moreover, the rising trend to change home design elements every few years boosts market demand. Floating vinyl tile floors are simpler to take out and replace, while ceramic tiles are tough to remove after installation. Various companies are launching new products as an alternative to ceramic tiles. For instance, in 2019, Responsive Industries established a floor covering innovation - Impact Rigid Core, an interlocking luxury vinyl tile designed to replace ceramic tiles, stone tiles, and other such flooring alternatives.
Easily prone to discoloration
Luxury vinyl tiles are prone to general stains easily, which leads to discoloration. Moisture from underneath or on top of the tile is common for discolored pigments. Vinyl flooring is water-resistant but not waterproof, so it can stain if exposed to moisture for long periods. Moreover, the spills from liquids, such as juice, water, and milk, can create stains on vinyl flooring if left for too long.
In addition, the luxury vinyl tiles can not be exposed to the sun. The tiles are quickly faded when exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. However, the manufacturers utilize UV inhibitors to help minimize exposure to sunlight, but fading may occur over time. To reduce fading, it is recommended to use shades or avoid the floor’s exposure to direct sunlight.
Covid-19 Impact on Luxury Vinyl Tiles Market Growth
The demand for luxury vinyl tiles has been unstable during the covid-19 with declining residential and commercial sectors. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the countries were under lockdown, which restricted housing and building projects from being completed. The lockdown restricted the sales of luxury vinyl tiles due to uncertainty in the economy. The prices of hardwood, vinyl tile, and carpet products have increased anywhere from 4 to 8% in many countries. Prices for hardwood floors have increased anywhere from 15 to 70%.
The elevated costs are due to scarcity of raw materials, fuel inflation, and a lack of delivery systems. Many companies have increased wages to recruit and retain employees in the flooring industry. However, the manufacturers and shipping companies have overcome labor and material shortages, again lowering their flooring products' prices.
Luxury Vinyl Tiles Market Segment Analysis
By type, the luxury vinyl tiles market is segmented into glue-down tiles, loose-lay vinyl tiles, interlocking vinyl tiles, and self-adhesive vinyl tiles.
Growing demand from larger installations and high-traffic areas is boosting the sales of glue-down tiles.
Glue-down vinyl flooring is designed for gluing, but the special vinyl glue needs to get separately. In shops, office buildings, hotels, and public facilities, the flooring is revealed to be a high degree of stress due to the sheer amount of traffic and pressure it suffers. For such spaces, the most suitable flooring solution is glue-down vinyl flooring. Glue-down vinyl LVT floorings are used in domestic and commercial spaces and vary in style and design to ensure the right fit for every need. Glue-down luxury vinyl is highly suited to larger installations and high-traffic areas since it presents more durability, especially in rolling traffic.
The leading companies are launching new products, expected to boost their market demand. For instance, In 2021, LG Hausys Floors introduced LVT collections, Grand Teton, and Pike’s Peak. The collection features high-resolution printing technology that creates realistic patterns and visuals in a glue-down format. Moreover, in 2020, Karndean Designflooring launched its new Heritage Collection, which comprises designs that embody the pinnacle of designed floors. The first designs to join the collection are the 20-mil Opus glue-down luxury vinyl product range. The group has a lifetime residential warranty.
