It was estimated in 2010 there were between 11,000 and 12,000 establishments selling floor coverings in the U.S. That number, according to many experts, has contracted to an estimated 8,000 to 9,000 in 2015.
The 2015 joint North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors (NAFCD)/North American Building Distribution Association (NBDMA) convention showed continued signs of growth, indicative of the strength of the flooring trade and a fruitful collaboration between the two associations that stretches back six years.
