COVID-19 Impact:

The market experienced a massive blow during the global pandemic. The building and construction operations were halted due to lockdown laws imposed by various governments throughout the world. The product's demand has been further reduced by the closure of production sites across the world. According to data released in the Ceramic World Review, worldwide tile output fell to 12,673 million sq.m. in 2019 and fell further to 11,600 sq. m. in 2020. The construction industry's demand declined as a result. Furthermore, the market was badly impacted by economic slowdowns in the steel, automobile, electronics, and aerospace industries. By 2022, however, the market is likely to restore its strength.
