Flooring means a permanent covering of a floor, or for the work of installing a floor covering. Floor covering is used to describe any finish material which is applied over a floor structure to provide a walking surface. Some flooring choices are no-brainers such as installing tile in bathrooms. Other choices are subject to the home's style and value and to the preferences of the local market along with the price, quality, and style of flooring. Good looking flooring could enhance the value of the home and could possibly attract new customers.

The flooring market is growing at a steady pace. The growth will be a result of rapid urbanization, increase in residential and commercial construction activities; and various regulations by the government restricting the use of hazardous floor covering, thereby promoting innovation, augmenting growth. Furthermore, the growth could also be accounted on account for the increase in demand for waterproof flooring, changing trends in the floor designs. According to the United States Census Bureau, the total construction value in the country was $1,077,350 million in 2008 which grew to $1,293,982 million in 2018. This shows that the construction industry has expanded and grown during the years; which indirectly leads to the growth of the flooring market, as people are adopting the changing trend in floor designs, as well as resorting to un-hazardous floor covering.  In addition, affordable housing policies, coupled with technological innovations and new products will lead to the continuation of growth.
