Increasing demand for vinyl flooring can be attributed to the growing consumer preference for PVC floor coverings and floor tiles, which, in turn, has led adhesive manufacturers to expand their product range for providing ease at the time of installation. For instance, Bostik, a leading adhesive manufacturer, provides several products based on luxury vinyl tile, vinyl tile, vinyl adhesive sprayer, vinyl sheet, and headliner for vinyl flooring applications.

Laminate flooring is preferred in India owing to its low-cost and appearance similar to wood. Based on its installation, it can be classified into glued, glueless, and pre-glued. The glued type needs the adhesive to be spread on the floor before laying the laminate flooring. The glueless type does not require additional adhesive, instead, they are manufactured with special tongue and groove edges that click together and hold.
