In 2016, producers belonging to the EPLF reported worldwide sales of 476 million m2 of laminate flooring manufactured in Europe (2015: 452 million m2). This equates to an increase of 5.6% when compared to the same period in the previous year. The EPLF’s “home market” of Western Europe remained broadly stable during 2016. Both North America and Asia once again registered significant, double-digit growth rates in 2016, and in Eastern Europe, impressive increases were predominantly seen in the relatively large markets such as Russia, Poland and Romania. EPLF laminate flooring sales in South America remained broadly stable in 2016.
