Ceramic Tile Manufacturers Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product, By Technology, Regional Outlook, Competitive Strategies, And Segment Forecasts, 2019 To 2025

The global ceramic tile manufacturers market is anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period. Ceramics are crystalline, inorganic and non-metals that are made of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon compounds. Additionally, glass, carbon, and silicon are also classified as ceramics. Ceramic tiles are generally made from clay. They are categorized as per their functionality (wall tiles, mosaic tiles, porcelain tiles, quarry tiles, floor tiles) and their application (new residential, industrial, and residential replacement). Additionally, they can also be classified according to their thickness, composition, size, shape, color, etc. A major application of ceramic tiles is used in residential spaces and recreational areas. Ceramic tiles are manufactured from raw materials such as sand, clay, and energy sources. The manufacturing process has various steps such as firing, glazing, drying, forming, spray-drying, mixing and grinding, and batching in the reverse order. 

The construction industry in developing countries is flourishing due to urbanization; people are shifting to cities from towns and villages. The number of construction sites is increasing due to the demand for high rises and redevelopment of existing buildings. This is proving to be a major driver for ceramic tile manufacturers. Consumer’s preference to replace marble floors, metal slabs, and paints are expected to increase the demand for ceramic tiles. Their hard and insulating nature makes them suitable for use in outdoor recreational spaces. Moreover, they are available in different sizes, shapes, and can be installed in various designs; this increases aesthetic value. The residential replacement segment has the maximum market share that includes applications such as protection from rain or moisture, floor or wall fittings, and design. The need for a higher amount of energy in making ceramic tiles is leading manufacturers to use energy-efficient processes and renewable sources of energy. Raw material cost volatility and growing regulatory issues relating to the environment are leading to an increase in the production cost of ceramic tiles. Manufacturers are concentrating on the promotion and development of new tile products such as polished, granite or marble finish, slip and abrasion-resistant tile, larger-sized tile, modular, or cladding tile, etc. Additionally, manufacturers will also turn to automation to improve quality, decrease costs, and increase production.
