Published: Aug, 2014 | Pages: 575 | Publisher: WinterGreen Research
Industry: Construction | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

Ceramics market was estimated at $296 billion and is expected to cross over $502 billion by 2020. Investment in high quality, logistics systems and production processes that guarantee fast development and delivery of innovative products will increase the market share.

Ceramics market is anticipated to grow over the forecast period owing to rapid augmentation in every segment.  This industry covers a wide range of sectors within the building industry. High cost of raw materials and increased need for availability of raw materials are impacting the ceramics market.  

Furthermore, rising fuel prices are impacting the cost structures of energy intensive ceramics producers. The manufacturing process of ceramics requires efficient energy. Market is changing owing to high energy a cost which is hampering the competiveness of ceramics producers without access to cheap fuels. This has increased the prices of energy over the past few years.

Refractory clay bricks, ceramic insulation, floor tiles, sanitary pottery, cement and floor tiles. Roofing tiles, refractory tiles ornamental tiles, technical tiles and tiles made into stands are the different types of tile sin the ceramics market. Firms are now extending their activities to international arena owing to augmentation in globalization opportunities. 

Key market players are emerging in several ceramics subsectors, mainly in floor and wall tile manufacturing. Increased environmental control and regulation is the major competiveness factor I the market. The globalization will effect in providing economic benefit for market players who will be able to expand their business globally.  This will also encourage specialization of ceramic sectors in many markets.  Vendors produce value added ceramics products, several of them are manufactured by innovative and flexible SMEs.
Rising environmental regulation is the major issue in the market. Local competitive advantage based on cost is diminishing owing to several comparative low-cost ceramics products being imported into developing economies. This is majorly impacting the ceramic tableware subsector.

Solar energy is expected to create enormous shifts in ceramics market as it is anticipated to become more affordable, available and competitive by 2016. The techniques and technologies used in production of ceramic to minimize usage of energy by kilns are majorly advanced.
