Ceramic tiles are usually molded to form rectangular or square shapes and are commercially available in various designs, thicknesses, textures, widths, shapes, colors, weights, and sizes to improve the aesthetic value of a space. They are strong, lightweight, cost-effective, and highly durable products that are easy to install, clean, and wash. Ceramic tiles also exhibit anti-skid and anti-bacterial properties and resistance against dirt, moisture, scratch, chemicals, and stains.

Significant growth in the construction industry is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market in the region. Ceramic tiles are widely used in floors, walls, roofs, ceilings, countertops, and worktops in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, swimming pools, laundry rooms, fireplaces, bar areas, corporate offices, hotels, shops, restaurants, and museums, as they are extremely strong, visually appealing, slip-resistant, and easy to maintain. In line with this, the widespread product adoption as an ideal alternative to hardwood, especially in constructing green buildings, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, continual advancements in production technology and the launch of anti-skid and anti-scratch product variants in the market are acting as another growth-inducing factor. Besides this, rising expenditure capacities of consumers and increasing customization and personalization trends are supporting the market growth.
