In 2023, Germany led the European import market for linoleum and textile-backed floor coverings, although its share slightly declined by 1.63%. The Netherlands showed a positive trend with a 2.82% increase, overtaking Czechia's steady share. Notable growth occurred in Hungary (8.59%) and Spain (22.86%), reflecting a rising demand. Conversely, Sweden and Italy faced significant declines by 7.01% and 16.02%, respectively. The smallest markets, such as Cyprus and Malta, experienced drastic percentage increases due to their low base values.
Looking ahead, growth in sustainable construction methods may drive demand for linoleum across Europe. Observing shifts in construction activities and economic conditions in major importing countries will be crucial. Increased eco-awareness might also fuel greater adoption in countries currently showing slower growth.
