How is the market of tiles and floorings evolving in India?
The market for vinyl flooring in India has been witnessing significant growth and evolving trends. With increasing urbanization and a growing focus on interior aesthetics, there has been a rising demand for vinyl flooring products. Consumers appreciate vinyl flooring for its durability, cost-effectiveness, and the variety of designs it offers. The ease of maintenance and resistance to moisture make it a popular choice, particularly in regions prone to humid weather.
In recent years, we have observed a shift toward luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and other premium vinyl flooring options as consumers seek higher-end, aesthetically pleasing solutions for their homes and commercial spaces. Moreover, sustainability and eco-friendly choices have become influential factors, leading to the development of eco-conscious vinyl flooring options.
