Linoleum Imports Decline in the U.S. Amid Rising Popularity of Vinyl and Laminate Flooring
Linoleum is a type of flooring material that is made from natural materials such as linseed oil, wood flour, and cork dust. In the past, linoleum was a popular choice for flooring in homes and commercial buildings, but it has since been replaced by other flooring materials such as vinyl and laminate.
The decline in linoleum imports can be attributed to a number of factors, including the increasing popularity of other types of flooring such as vinyl and laminate, as well as the higher cost of linoleum compared to these other materials. The trade restrictions, a shift towards domestic production have all played a role. Furthermore, industry players are looking at ways to revitalize the linoleum market in the country, including exploring new applications, improving production efficiency, and innovating the design and functionality of the product. It remains to be seen whether the market will regain its former buoyancy in the months and years ahead.
