China was by far the leading ceramic tile manufacturer worldwide in 2022, producing roughly 7.31 billion square meters of ceramic tile that year. India was the second largest producer, at 2.3 billion square meters.
Asia: the world leader of ceramics
In addition to being the world’s leading manufacturer of ceramic tiles, China was also the leading ceramic tile exporter in 2022. Since China and India are the two largest ceramic tile manufacturing countries, it is not surprising that Asia is the largest ceramic tile producing region in the world.
Ceramic tiles in building
Ceramic tiles are a durable, low maintenance, stain and water-resistant material that are practical for use in a wide variety of building surfaces due to these features. They also come in endless colors and designs, which also makes this an attractive material to build with. Mosaic tiles are an example of ceramic tiles that are intended for artistic purposes first, while also providing the practical usefulness of ceramic tiles as a building material. Indeed, in 2022, ceramic and porcelain tile accounted for nearly 13 percent of the U.S. flooring market, and account for significant shares of construction materials consumption in many countries.
