From 2016 to 2020, the market for resilient flooring expanded at around 5% CAGR. At that point, it reached US$ 7.2 billion by the end of the historical period. The substantially increasing number of home improvement & renovation activities on account of changing consumer trends as well as lifestyles has meant that resilient flooring is witnessing high demand in the residential sector.

Superior insulation properties of fiberglass because of the presence of reinforced materials have further complemented its demand. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, prospects dipped in the first half of 2020. This came with the enforcement of restrictions on commercial activities to curb further infection spread.
