Modular flooring is having a moment. A new report from MarketsandMarkets projects the global modular flooring market will grow from $14.01 billion in 2026 to $16.48 billion by 2031. That's steady growth driven largely by commercial construction, but the ripple effects reach far beyond office buildings and hospitals.

Hardwood flooring is having a complicated year. New industry data reveals a striking split in the market, and it says a lot about what homeowners truly value today. Overall wood flooring sales dipped in 2025, yet the story behind the numbers tells a different tale. Premium hardwood is holding strong, even thriving, while budget options lose ground to alternatives like luxury vinyl plank and laminate.
