ASEAN Ceramics Market Set to Witness an Uptick during 2019 to 2025

Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on December 23rd, 2020

The ASEAN ceramics market size is anticipated to reach a market size of USD 69.08 billion by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 8.2%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing construction industry and rising government spending on infrastructural development are expected to have positive impacts on the market growth over the forecast period. The rising need for ceramic tiles in restaurants, offices, malls, and resorts will augment product demand growth over the next eight years.

The shortage in supply of raw materials from Chinese manufacturers has resulted in a severe demand-supply gap. The manufacturers are further expected to be stranded on raw material orders owing to the logistics industry being significantly impacted due to lockdown amid COVID-19. However, the producers are expected to move away from China aiming to reduce the future risks that would affect the business and to reduce the manufacturers' cluster in a single country in order to smoothen the supply chain. The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.

Traditional and advanced ceramics are the two product categories of ceramics. The traditional product segment is growing on account of its increasing application in the manufacturing of clay bricks, tableware, and porcelain tiles. The advanced product segment is expected to grow over the forecast years mainly on account of their capability of performing under extreme conditions. These materials exhibit a very high degree of industrial efficiency, which has resulted in rising demand for the product from various industries, including heavy machinery, automotive, energy, cutting tools, and defense.

Ceramic tiles were the largest application segment for ASEAN ceramics, accounting for 25.5% of the ASEAN ceramics industry revenues in 2016. The number of construction projects are on the rise owing to the demand for residential infrastructure and renovation of existing buildings, most notably in rapidly-emerging countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia. This is proving to be a major driver for ceramic tile manufacturers in the region.

Further key findings from the report suggest:

  • The ASEAN ceramics market was estimated at USD 33.98 billion in 2016, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2017 to 2025, driven primarily by the increasing need for the products in housing, construction, and industrial applications.
  • The medical segment is slated to experience the fastest growth, in terms of revenue, projected to grow at a CAGR of over 8.5% during the forecast period, resultant from the increasing use of ceramics in the medical sector for orthopedic functions.
  • The traditional product segment was observed to be the largest revenue-accruing product segment in 2016, and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of about 8% till 2025. The advanced product segment is projected to witness higher growth during the forecast period, owing to increasing application scope in high-performance applications.
  • The industry in Indonesia is projected to witness substantial growth over the next eight years owing to significant growth of the medical and housing & construction industries. In terms of revenue, the market in Indonesia is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period.
  • Acquisitions accounted for the highest share among strategic initiatives undertaken by players involved in the ASEAN ceramics industry. For instance, in July 2017, Saint-Gobain acquired Kirkson Industrial Reinforcements GmbH, with the objective of consolidating their position in the high-performance solutions segment for the housing & construction end-use vertical.

The ASEAN ceramics market size was estimated at USD 33.98 billion in 2016. The considerable growth in construction and infrastructure development activities, primarily in fast-emerging economies of the region such as Indonesia and Malaysia, is expected to drive product demand over the forecast period.

The growth in the sanitary ware sub-segment will augment the product demand over the forecast period. Ceramic materials help meet hygiene requirements and ensure the durability of products in application areas such as bathrooms. These products require very little maintenance, have high resistance to environmental conditions, and are extremely cost-effective. The industry is mainly driven by the demand from these segments and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period, further driven by the improving construction and industrial sectors in the region.

The Indonesia ceramics market was estimated at USD 9.25 billion in 2016 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2017 to 2025. Ceramics are increasingly being used in the country, for construction and industrial applications. They are, in particular, being employed in roofing applications as well as for the manufacturing of floor and wall tiles. In developing countries, these products have been replacing metal products in roofing applications on account of their high-strength properties.

Indonesia and Thailand markets are expected to show substantial growth in the construction sector as a result of increasing disposable incomes and rising government spending on large infrastructural projects. Indonesia’s sustained demand for industrial, residential, and infrastructural expansion has generated requirement for new construction projects. Strong economic growth is expected to further spur the construction demand over the next eight years.

Ceramic coatings are also widely being used for drug release applications. Over the last few years, there has been significant increase in the use of ceramic materials for manufacturing implant devices. Superior properties of zirconium-based products, such as toughness and strength, together with low wear rates and bio-inert properties, will augment their demand in applications such as femoral heads for total hip replacements.
