New Construction Segment to Dominate the Ceramic Tiles Market Share

There is a growing demand for new construction and the purchase of new homes among the population, driving the ceramic tiles market globally. This trend is fueled by economic growth, increasing population densities in urban areas, and the preferences of millennials, leading to a strong demand for new housing and commercial developments. According to the Lodha Group, millennials contributed to over 50 percent of the total homes sold in 2020 in India. In 2022, they were a major driver of the Indian real estate market, as millennials account for 54% of the total real estate sales in India.  This upward trend in homeownership is likely to continue as millennials are now more inclined to invest in new home construction rather than renting. Globally as cities expand to accommodate rising populations, significant new construction projects are emerging, which increases the need for various building elements, including ceramic tiles for flooring and wall coverings. Economies of scale in new construction projects allow for reduced costs per unit, making modern homes with ceramic tiles more economical compared to older homes that may require significant investments for upgrades. These modern tiles offer aesthetic and functional benefits that older homes often lack unless substantial renovations are undertaken. Thus, the demand for ceramic tiles is closely tied to the broader trends in housing and construction, emphasizing the need for quality, sustainability, and design in today’s market.

For instance, in 2022, China's total housing construction area reached 9,049.99 million square meters, with residential construction accounting for 6,396.96 million square meters. The newly started housing projects covered 1,205.87 million square meters, including 881.35 million square meters for residential areas. The completed housing area was 862.22 million square meters, while the completed residential area was 625.39 million square meters. Commercial housing sales totaled 1,358.37 million square meters, down 24.3% from the previous year, with residential sales decreasing by 26.8%. The overall sales revenue from commercial housing was USD 1,872 billion. This data suggests that new housing starts and increasing demand for homes as more people seek new, signaling a robust recovery in the housing market for the construction of new projects.
