The global Flooring Underlayment market size was US$ 1479 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1826 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Underlay is the layer of material directly beneath your floor covering. If you were to tear up the flooring in your home, you would likely find many layers. When you removed the floor covering, also called the finish floor, you’d expose the underlay. Remove that, and you would find a subfloor such as OSB (oriented strand board), plywood or concrete. A moisture and/or vapor barrier might be found among the layers too, especially in basement flooring, or the underlay might include a barrier in its construction.
Europe is the largest producer of Flooring Underlayment, with a market share about 30%, followed by North America and China, etc. US Gypsum, James Hardie, Custom Building, MP Global and AcoustiCORK are the top 5 manufacturers of industry, and they had about 50% combined market share.
