This is the 11th edition of AMA Research’s Floor and Wall Tiles Market Report. This edition covers the changes the market has undergone during the Covid-19 pandemic and the extent to which skills and materials shortages evident across construction, have impacted on the floor and wall tiles sector. Loss of UK manufacturers has resulted in increased levels of imports and a highly fragmented market.

This report reviews the total floor and wall tiles market, looking at recent performance, trends, influences and forecast performance. Product sub-sectors of ceramic and porcelain tiles, natural stone tiles and tiles made of other materials are reviewed in detail to understand specific influences with regard to production techniques, design and end user demand.

Within the report there is a full PESTLE review, looking at the political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental influences on the market. This sits alongside a review of key end use sectors that generate demand for floor and wall tiles.

With imports such an important factor in the market, we look at supply and distribution including profiles of leading manufacturers, distributors and retailers along with individual company and overall channel market shares.

Our Finding & Selecting a Market Research Agency feature, sponsored by AMA Research, looks at finding and selecting a specialist agency
and also provides access to our index of over 25 UK-based firms specialising in construction market research

Key Issues Covered in the Report

  • This report provides a history and forecast of market size, spanning 2016 to 2026. This is provided at overview level for the whole market and for each of the individual tile materials: ceramic and porcelain, natural stone, and others.
  • We also look at the split in market demand between wall tiles and floor tiles, for each of the main material types.
  • Among the push and pull factors impacting on demand of different types of tiles are innovations in production techniques and design trends. These have both played a part in the shifts in popularity and market shares that we see across the different product types. Intra-market competition is also compared with extra-market competition from alternatives to tiles.
  • This review of the market includes profiling all major manufacturers, suppliers and distributors along with their market shares.
  • AMA Research’s forecasts for future market growth are supported by comprehensive sector and trend analysis.

Areas of Particular Interest

  • The market review includes analysis of the different end use sectors. Future levels of construction indicate where demand for floor and wall tiles is likely to be generated.
  • For example, uncertainty in the retail sector is lessening demand for new fit outs in the near future; meanwhile, spas and leisure facilities are recovering from the pandemic at a faster rate, thereby increasing demand for tiling products, especially in pools and bathrooms.
  • Imports have become a particularly strong feature of this market in recent years, especially from Europe but increasingly also from Asia. The report looks at how this is impacting availability, especially in the context of recent supply chain blockages.
