U.S. wood flooring market size, by product, 2020 - 2030 (USD Billion)

The engineered wood flooring product segment accounted for the largest share of the North America market in 2022. The product is highly used as deck flooring on account of its enhanced features such as reliability, abrasion resistance, and dimensional accuracy. Furthermore, the advent of engineered wood has significantly reduced the cost of wooden flooring thereby providing a major boost to product adoption in North America.

The U.S. dominated the North America wood flooring market in 2022 and is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. The strong foothold of residential and commercial infrastructure on a domestic level is expected to keep the domination of the U.S. in the wood flooring industry over the forecast period. Furthermore, improvement in the U.S. economy post-COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, coupled with growing investment in the repair and renovation of existing building structures is expected to drive growth over the forecast period.

Consumer awareness about environmental conservation has led to high demand for eco-friendly flooring products such as bamboo, glass, rubber, cork, linoleum, and hardwood. Installation of flooring is a difficult and time-consuming task, but now companies have come up with products that do not require any kind of glue to stick the product to the floor. The materials are made in such a way that tiles can get interlocked with each other. This is a major development in the flooring industry in North America as the cost of installing such materials is reduced drastically.

Key players in North America are focusing on achieving optimal operational costs, enhancing product quality, maximizing production output, and the acquisition of small players to sustain the competition. These players are increasingly focusing on mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, and agreements.

Product Insights

Engineered wood flooring was the largest product segment, accounting for 66.6% of revenue share in 2022. Engineered wood is less prone to extensions as well as does not shrink with humidity and temperatures when compared to solid wood. Additionally, engineered wood is widely used as deck flooring on account of its enhanced features such as reliability, abrasion resistance, and dimensional accuracy. This is expected to propel its demand in the region during the forecast period.

Engineered wood is alternately also known as composite wood and consists of several wooden products manufactured by binding wood-based panels such as plywood and wood veneer together with adhesives to form composite materials. They are modeled to supreme design requirements as per the specifications of end users or clients and are tested to meet international and national standards.

The solid wood product segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 2.9% during the forecast period. The product offers an option to choose from a wide variety of dent and scratch-resistant wood species, which is expected to increase the demand for solid wood floors in North America. In addition, it has a superior ability to protect against stains along with a well-polished nature. Solid wood floors can be sanded and re-finished multiple times over their lifetime on account of their top-to-bottom solid core.

High durability and easy installation are more of the characteristic attributes associated with solid wood floors. Solid wood floors come in narrower plank sizes and exhibit very tight seams between boards. Furthermore, solid wood flooring is highly preferred for its durability and longevity.

Wood Type Insights

In 2022, the red oak segment emerged as the largest wood type segment while accounting for 35.2% revenue share of the North America wood flooring market. Factors such as abundant domestic availability of the red oak timber coupled with its affordable cost, and moderate to heavy graining were responsible for the segment growth and are further expected to increase the demand for the product in North America.

Red oak is widely used in the wooden flooring industry owing to its relatively lower cost. Further characteristics, which are increasing the demand for red oak for the production of wooden floors include a straight graining pattern, coarse texture, and superior durability with a Janka value of 1290. The red oak wood is relatively easy to work with and can be easily machined and nailed to the subfloor.

White oak accounted for revenue of USD 2,209.5 million in 2022 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. White oak or Quercus alba is one of the most commonly used hardwood timber species native to the Eastern and Central North America region. The name of this species comes from the color of the finished wood obtained from it. Moreover, it is mostly straight-grained and exhibits a medium to coarse texture, and longer rays than red oak.

White oak hardwood flooring is more water resistant as compared to the other types of floors, making it a good option for use in kitchens along with entryways, dining rooms, and bedrooms. Furthermore, these types of flooring are available in a smooth and homogenous texture, which is expected to pave the way for use in the North America flooring industry during the forecast period.

End-use Insights

In 2022, the replacement segment led the market with a 53.6% revenue share and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% during the forecast period. Growing expenditure on repairs and renovation of existing housing structures. Additionally, the replacement of existing flooring such as terrazzo, vinyl, and carpet with wood flooring is expected to drive the product demand during the forecast period.

Additionally, continued investment in the repair and renovation of existing housing structures was the primary factor driving the segment growth. Wooden floors on account of their elegant looks have an aspirational value attached to them. As a result, more and more people are replacing their existing flooring with wooden floors, thereby, increasing the demand for wood flooring in the replacement segment.

The new construction end-use segment accounted for a volume of 95.4 million square meters in 2022. The segment is further expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. Increasing new residential as well as commercial construction in North America is fueling the new construction sector, which in turn is expected to propel the demand for wooden flooring products during the forecast period.

The U.S. residential construction sector witnessed an upward trend in terms of growth in 2021. As per IBIS World, the total value of residential construction in the U.S. in 2021 accounted for USD 719.40 billion as compared to USD 649.90 billion in 2020. Rising demand for single-family dwellings is the key growth contributor. Furthermore, the advent of engineered wood has significantly reduced the cost of wood floors, thereby providing a major boost to product adoption in new constructions in North America.

Application Insights

The residential application segment dominated in 2022 with a 77.9% share of total revenue. The rising number of single-family houses in the U.S. post the great recession of 2008-2009 has played an important role in increasing the usage of wooden floor covering materials in the residential segment. Additionally, increasing renovation and refurbishment activities in North America to maintain the structural integrity of buildings and to ensure the safety of the residents have triggered a number of redevelopment projects related to residential as well as commercial sectors in developed countries from North America such as the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

The growing rate of domestic as well as international migration and high urbanization in North America are expected to drive product growth in the residential application segment during the forecast period. Additionally, engineered wood flooring is increasingly replacing traditional solid wood flooring in the residential sector owing to its cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and superior moisture resistance properties.

Wooden floors are widely used in commercial applications owing to their long lifecycle. Growing demand for sustainable building materials from the commercial construction industry within the U.S. and Mexico is expected to boost the demand for wooden floors during the forecast period.

Increasing investment in the development and renovation of tourism infrastructure within several countries of North America such as the U.S. and Mexico is further projected to drive product growth in the upcoming future. Furthermore, wooden floors absorb sound waves, thus making them an ideal option for commercial buildings such as offices and hospitals where acoustic solutions are highly required.
