China still makes most of the world’s SPC flooring. That’s not in dispute, and any comparison that pretends otherwise isn’t useful to you. The real question for a buyer is narrower – “Best Country to Import SPC Flooring From?”: given that reality, where does it make sense to place an order today, and why are Vietnam and Thailand showing up more often in that conversation than they were a few years ago?
The global production picture
China accounts for roughly 65–75% of global SPC production, with Vietnam, Thailand, and Turkey serving as the main secondary manufacturing hubs. Vietnam specifically is estimated to account for around 8–12% of world SPC trade — a share that’s been growing (IndexBox’s analysis of world SPC flooring trade flows). The global SPC market itself is projected to grow from roughly $4.22 billion (2026) to $7.64 billion by 2035 — a CAGR of 6.8% — with more than 600 factories operating across 40+ countries and combined capacity exceeding 25 million tonnes per year (360 Research Reports’ global SPC flooring market analysis). Within that global picture, North America consumes about 22% of production, Europe about 14%.
Vietnam’s own SPC market is smaller in absolute terms but growing faster in percentage terms: from roughly $312.4 million (2024) to a projected $562.3 million by 2030, a CAGR of about 10.3% (Newstrail’s coverage of the Vietnam SPC flooring market report — note: the original source, Intel Market Research, now redirects to an unrelated India report, so we’re citing the Newstrail republication of the same underlying data). Notably, CFL Flooring — one of the largest global SPC manufacturers at roughly 12% global production share — operates factories in both China and Vietnam, and expanded its Vietnam capacity by about 25% in 2024, which is itself a signal about where global manufacturers see growth (360 Research Reports’ global SPC flooring market analysis).
The tariff factor that’s reshaping sourcing decisions
This is the part of the picture that’s changed the most recently, and it’s specific to SPC in a way that goes beyond general trade policy. The US has imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese-made SPC flooring with a notably wide range — reportedly anywhere from about 1% to 240% depending on the specific exporter — which has directly pushed order volume toward Vietnam and Thailand. The EU is separately investigating similar anti-dumping action against Chinese SPC (IndexBox’s coverage of anti-dumping measures affecting SPC flooring trade). That’s a materially different situation from a general tariff differential — it’s a company-specific and case-specific duty structure, so if you’re evaluating a Chinese supplier alongside a Vietnamese one, the actual applicable rate depends on which exporter you’d be buying from, not a single “China rate.” We cover the US import side for Vietnamese SPC specifically — HS code, general tariffs, and how the anti-dumping risk factors in — in our companion article on exporting SPC flooring from Vietnam to the US.
What Vietnam’s supplier ecosystem actually offers
Beyond the tariff picture, Vietnam’s SPC manufacturing clusters — concentrated around Ha Nam, Binh Duong, and Dong Nai — have built up real supporting infrastructure: the certifications international buyers expect (ISO 9001, FloorScore, CARB Phase 2, CE Marking, verified through SGS/TÜV/NAFCA/SCS Global), CPTPP and EVFTA tariff advantages for buyers in the EU and broader Asia-Pacific, and in some cases vertically integrated supply chains — factories with their own limestone quarries and port access cutting lead times to roughly 15 days for large orders (Accio’s supplier reference for SPC flooring manufacturers in Vietnam). None of that erases China’s scale advantage, but it does mean Vietnam isn’t simply “the cheaper alternative with less capability” — the certification and logistics infrastructure has matured alongside the tariff-driven demand shift.
Where Tín An fits Tín An has been manufacturing SPC flooring for 26+ years and currently exports to more than 20 countries, including the US, Canada, and the EU. We’re not going to tell you China doesn’t matter — it clearly still dominates global production — but if the current tariff and anti-dumping landscape has you re-evaluating where to place your next order, we’re a straightforward comparison point to bring into that conversation.
