PVC floor is a floor decoration material made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as the main component through a series of processing techniques. The main raw material of PVC floor is polyvinyl chloride, which is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic and renewable resource. Compared with harmful substances such as formaldehyde in wooden floors, its environmental performance has an absolute advantage. PVC plastic floor is only 2-3mm thick and weighs only 2-3KG per square meter, which is less than 10% of ordinary floor materials. It has incomparable advantages in building load-bearing and space saving in high-rise buildings.

In addition, PVC flooring also has good waterproof, moisture-proof, anti-slip, sound insulation and noise reduction properties, and is widely used in commercial environments, industrial environments, medical and educational institutions, residential areas, and sports venues.

According to CRI analysis, in commercial places such as supermarkets, shopping malls, office buildings, hotels, restaurants, etc., PVC flooring can provide comfortable, durable and beautiful floor solutions. In industrial environments, such as factories, warehouses, workshops, etc., PVC flooring can resist friction, oil pollution and heavy object impact in industrial environments. In sports venues, such as gyms and stadiums, PVC flooring has good elasticity and wear resistance, can withstand the heavy pressure of sports equipment, and provide a comfortable use experience. According to CRI data, the total export value of Vietnam's PVC flooring will reach US$692 million in 2023. The international market demand will continue to grow in 2024. The export value of Vietnam's PVC flooring will exceed US$1.2 billion in 2024, an increase of about 80% year-on-year. It is expected that Vietnam's PVC flooring exports will grow further in the next few years.

The market demand for PVC flooring is growing globally, especially in the construction, real estate, medical, education and industrial fields. With economic development and the diversification of consumers' requirements for floor materials, PVC flooring has gradually replaced traditional floor materials such as wood flooring, tiles and stone. And with the increase of environmental awareness, technological progress and the promotion of green building standards, PVC flooring will be more widely used in the next few years.

As one of the important economies in Southeast Asia, Vietnam has made significant progress in the production and export of PVC flooring in recent years. According to CRI analysis, benefiting from the growth of Vietnam's domestic construction industry, the acceleration of urbanization and its low-cost production advantages, Vietnam has gradually become one of the important production bases of PVC flooring in the world.

Vietnam's PVC flooring production is mainly concentrated in some large industrial areas and manufacturing bases, especially in the economically developed regions in the north and south. In recent years, with the increase in domestic and foreign demand for PVC flooring, Vietnam's PVC flooring production capacity has been significantly improved.

Vietnamese PVC flooring has been exported to Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States in large quantities. Vietnamese PVC flooring is gradually gaining recognition in the international market. European and American consumers have high requirements for environmental protection and health of flooring, and Vietnam's environmentally friendly PVC flooring just meets this demand. As Vietnamese manufacturers improve product quality and environmental standards, the number of exports to the European and American markets has increased year by year.

According to CRI analysis, the United States, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, the United Kingdom and South Korea are currently the main export destinations for Vietnamese PVC flooring. The United States is the main export market for Vietnamese PVC flooring, accounting for about 80% of the entire export market.

According to CRI analysis, the top three export destinations for Vietnamese PVC flooring from 2021 to 2024 are the United States, Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong, China. The main importers of this product to Vietnam are some international trading companies. Vietnamese PVC flooring is mostly used for international export while meeting the local market. Most of its exporters are local PVC flooring manufacturers, and some are subsidiaries of international manufacturers and distributors in Vietnam. The exporters of Vietnamese PVC flooring are mainly foreign-funded enterprises.

Overall, Vietnam's PVC flooring production and exports have achieved significant growth in recent years. With its low-cost production advantages, good geographical location and gradually improving environmental standards, Vietnam has occupied an important position in the global PVC flooring market. CRI expects that Vietnam's PVC flooring exports are expected to continue to grow in the next few years. CRI recommends that global building materials companies should conduct research on the Vietnamese market as soon as possible and prepare for entering the Vietnamese market.
