Imports of LVT flooring accounted for 90% of the LVT market in the United States in 2021. In an effort to reduce supply chain issues, improve customer service and control costs, many flooring manufacturers are making investments in LVT in domestic manufacturing. At the Fuse Alliance annual conference in Dallas, Texas, this spring, industry leaders said this trend in manufacturing will remain.
“All the plants being built, they’re all rigid click, which is more of a residential product,” said Mike Gallman, president, Mohawk Group. “Multifamily and senior living uses some, but there's not any real investments in flexible LVT really being put in at this point.”
