Brazil Ceramic Tiles Market Analysis
The Brazil Ceramic Tiles Market size is estimated at USD 4.26 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 5.19 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.02% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The rapid COVID-19 outbreak caused several obstacles for the Brazilian ceramic tile sector in 2020. However, COVID-19 also negatively affected the construction industry, which is the primary market for ceramic tiles. In 2020, Brazil, one of the major players in the world's ceramics industry, also had to deal with the pandemic consequences. The temporary closure of industrial plants in the first months of the year inevitably resulted in a drop in tile production, which fell to 840 million sq m (-7.6% from the previous year). Exports also decreased to 94 million sq m (-5.7% in 2019), despite the 5 million sq m sold on the US market (25 million sq m, +25%). Overall, Brazilian tile producers ended the year with an increase in total sales, which rose to 920 million sq m (+2.7%), thanks to a rebound in demand on the domestic market in the second half of the year. By the end of 2020, domestic sales had increased by 3.8% more than in 2019.
The Brazil ceramic tiles market is expected to witness strong growth in the forecast period owing to increasing construction activity and a rise in the country's residential and commercial real estate activities. Furthermore, rising disposable incomes and a preference for stylish homes are driving up demand for premium ceramic tiles. Brazil is currently the third-largest ceramic tiles producer in the world. An important characteristic of the Brazilian domestic ceramic tiles market is that importing ceramic tiles is practically insignificant. Brazil exports ceramic tiles to more than 121 countries, with some major regions being the United States, South Africa, and Latin America. Investments were also quickly resumed. The sector focused primarily on improving its product mix and using more sustainable materials and processes to add value to its offerings and boost global market competitiveness. Brazil is also developing government programs such as the Minha Casa Minha Veda program to increase residential activity. It is anticipated to boost the real estate market in the country and will open further growth opportunities for ceramic tiles.
