Laminate flooring refers to a multi-layer synthetic flooring product, that is made up of the wear, design, core and back layers sealed together using the lamination process. The upper layer usually comprises melamine and aluminum oxide that aid in providing the laminate board a scratch and moisture resistant surface. In comparison to engineered wood, solid hardwood, and stone floor coverings, laminate flooring is inexpensive and easy to install as well as maintain. As it is available in varying widths, lengths and thickness, and can replicate different surfaces including wood, stones and tiles, the demand for laminate flooring is increasing across the globe.

One of the major factors driving the market growth is the rise in construction activities across the globe. On account of the growing population, rapid urbanization, recovery of the global economy, inflating incomes levels and improving standards of living, a rise in the demand for housing has been witnessed in recent years, especially in developing economies like Brazil and China. This has further led to an increase in the need for modern flooring materials like laminate flooring which offer durability, scratch and stain resistance. As opposed to the other flooring materials, laminate flooring offers ease of installation which reduces the requirement of skilled labor. Apart from this, advancements in the designing and printing technologies and the introduction of innovative product designs by manufacturers are stimulating the demand for laminate flooring across the globe.
