and condominium complexes. This growth may also be of interest to architects and interior designers who are known to influence customer choices for ceramic tile products in the country, making them a significant stakeholder in this Industry.
Ceramic tiles are also very popular in Vietnam and have been used as a local tradition for many years, along with granite and porcelain tiles. With the advancements in digital printing technology today, ceramic tiles are able to portray a wider range of design aesthetics. This increase in construction spending is a key factor that drives the ceramic tiles market in Vietnam. Ceramic tiles are widely used in residential and commercial buildings, owing to their durability and crack resistance nature. Protective coatings on ceramic tiles can also offer high water resistance and stain protection, making ceramics a popular choice in major construction and developmental businesses.
According to the Industry and Trade Information Center under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Vietnam was the ninth largest exporter of ceramics globally from 2016 to 2020, experiencing an average growth rate of 8.2% per year. The exports of ceramics of Vietnam accounted for 0.9% of the global export value in 2020.
