In July 2026, SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring was highlighted for its water‑resistant core, durability, sound insulation and compatibility with under‑floor heating, positioning it as a functional upgrade over laminate and linoleum for families and high‑traffic areas.

By early August 2026, European market data showed SPC flooring expanding its share, with sales rising from 51.7 million m² in 2022 to 53.7 million m² in 2023, outpacing laminate despite an overall decline in polymer flooring sales. The growth reflects increasing consumer preference for the material’s moisture resistance and ease of installation.

Overall, the snapshots trace the shift from product promotion to measurable market expansion across Europe.
