influencing these issues and future prospects for the market. Also
reviewed are product sales, trends and specification issues within each
of the major application areas.
The market was worth around £2.1 billion at manufacturers
prices in 2008, having experienced 4% decline on the previous year.
Carpet still dominates the floorcoverings market but has again
experienced some share loss within the overall product mix over the last

same period, whilst vinyl and ceramic tiles have continued to perform
well and have both made moderate share gains since 2006.
