European laminate flooring manufacturer sales declined 6.50% to 263.4 million m2 in 2025, according to the European Producers of Laminate Flooring (EPLF). The sales decreased from 281.6 million m2 in 2024. EPLF said the trend reflects the broader slowdown observed across construction markets, particularly in new residential builds and renovation activity, which continued to weigh on demand throughout the year. EPLF said the 2025 figures point to a “year of adjustment” for the laminate flooring sector. “While global volumes declined, demand remained comparatively more stable in the core European markets, which continue to represent the majority of EPLF sales,” it said. “Regional differences indicate that market conditions evolved at different speeds rather than following a single global pattern.” Europe accounted for more than 80% of total sales by EPLF member countries, confirming its position as the core market for the laminate flooring.
