Ceramic Tiles: Clay tiles Industry Poised for Growth with New Product Innovation -
Raw Material Supplies and Ceramic Tiles -
The clay tiles industry relies on key raw materials like clay, feldspar, quartz, and other mineral oxide pigments for production. In the last year, clay and feldspar supplies from major exporting countries like India, Brazil, and Turkey remained stable. This has ensured steady raw material prices for tile manufacturers. However, global supply chain and logistical issues caused by the pandemic led to a 10-15% increase in feldspar and quartz prices from March to June 2020. Most tile companies had sufficient inventory to avoid any major production disruptions. As supply chains stabilize in 2021, raw material prices are expected to remain flat or see marginal increases of 3-5%.
New Tile Designs and Embossing Technologies -
Tile manufacturers have invested heavily in new tiles design and embossing technologies. Large-format tiles that resemble marble and granite but are more scratch and stain-resistant are becoming popular in residential and commercial construction. 3D embossing on tiles that create intricate textures and shadows are also gaining traction. Companies like Johnson Tiles, Marazzi Tiles, and Arrow Ceramics have launched entire collections inspired by stone, wood, and metallic surfaces but created using Ceramic Tile technology. These new tiles have opened up ceramic usage in premium projects and widened market share. Manufacturers plan t
