Market Trends of Malaysia Ceramic Tiles Industry
Increasing Usage of Ceramic Tiles in Replacement and Renovation
The replacement demand for ceramic tiles in the country has increased over the years due to existing residential, commercial, and government units in the country, which is positively impacting the demand for ceramic tiles in household units where people are looking for renovation or replacement of ceramic tile products. The increasing shipments of Malaysian tiles due to strong demand in the foreign sector have further improved the industry's revenues. The demand for ceramic tiles has increased over the years with the launch of new items. Ceramic tiles are commonly used in kitchens, toilets, and balcony walls when renovating homes in the country because they are non-slippery and scrub resistant.
Porcelain Tiles are the Dominant Category in the Market
Most newly constructed houses and commercial complexes use ceramic tiles for flooring due to the ease of installation and the availability of ceramic tiles in varied forms based on the user's requirements. The prices of porcelain tiles are also relatively higher when compared with other ceramic tile categories, which causes a higher revenue generation in this segment. Porcelain tiles can be used for indoor as well as outdoor applications and can be used on floors and exterior walls. Porcelain is the material of choice in places where there is high moisture content and increased foot traffic, as it is naturally slip-resistant.
