Soft surface carpet tile is gaining momentum in 2025 as both commercial and residential customers discover its versatility, comfort, and design potential.

2025 carpet industry trends are showing a powerful resurgence, blending historical roots with modern design and eco-conscious innovation. After years of being overshadowed by hard surfaces like hardwood and vinyl, carpet is making a comeback—offering homeowners, designers, and builders renewed opportunities to enhance spaces with texture, warmth, and visual personality.

The luxury vinyl flooring market is experiencing rapid expansion in 2025, driven by shifting consumer preferences, technological advancements, and sustainable building practices.

In 2025, waterproof flooring is redefining the flooring industry as homeowners and businesses alike prioritize durability and convenience. Waterproof floors have shifted from a niche perk to a must-have feature, driven by busy lifestyles, pets, and open floor plans. Industry experts note that "being 100 percent waterproof is an important buy-in for homeowners, second only to color preference." Families want “worry-proof” floors that can handle spills, kids, and pet accidents without damage. This surging demand has propelled resilient flooring – especially luxury vinyl – to record market share in recent years. Waterproof luxury vinyl tile/plank (LVT/LVP) now accounts for roughly one-third of all flooring sales by value as of 2023, a huge leap from barely 4% a decade ago.
