Members of the European Producers of Laminate Flooring (EPLF) had a 69% share in the laminate flooring world market during 2001.
The EPLF’s market share remains constant despite fundamental structural changes made in the inter-continental trade as a result of the stock market slide, September 11, industry insolvencies and a turnover drop in Germany.
Its strongest retail market remains western Europe with an 85% market share followed by 80% in eastern Europe.
A 16% sales drop was recorded in Germany, its single largest European market.
