UAE Ceramic Tiles Market Trends & Drivers:

Government schemes for housing and projects for infrastructure drive demand for ceramic tiles in the Emirates. Abu Dhabi's Executive Council has approved investing USD 22.5 billion into 14 new housing projects, to stabilize families and cohere socially. The initiative has 35000 housing grants (26000 housing units and 9000 land plots) for UAE nationals for five years. The scheme includes reformation of the housing loan system to reduce the burden of housing loans on families including loans subsidies, loan extension for longer periods and deferred repayment plan to be introduced. Casagrand announced its entry into the UAE market as a real estate developer. Casagrand launched projects on Dubai Islands. Over three years, Casagrand plans to develop more than 6 million square feet of premium residential and mixed-use projects. After 22 years of experience, Casagrand offers the UAE's thriving cityscape luxury living and lifestyle with the installation and construction of additional ceramic tiles required for resort-style living and lifestyle amenities for residential development. RAK Ceramics has won many international contracts to supply various models of ceramic and gres porcellanato tiles including 170,000 square meters of tiles for the Al Raha Beach Development in Abu Dhabi. Among other contracts, RAK Ceramics supplied tiles for the Dusit Hotel and 212,000 square meters of tiles for the 305-luxury-villa Al Barari Development in Dubai. The development of infrastructure and housing projects in the country is propelled by local building standards and codes through the application of high quality durable eco-friendly materials. Due to the upsurge in infrastructure projects and urbanization, new construction is the largest end-use segment with a market share of 66.2%, wherein ceramic tiles are used for floors, walls, cladding and other components in residential or commercial buildings.

Hospitality and tourism is also a major driver of demand for luxury ceramic tile. The United Arab Emirates travels and provides leisure internationally as a major hub, attracting many inbound visitors, demanding luxury finishes, and providing the durability that hotels, resorts, and offices require for corporate tenants. The UAE hospitality market should reach USD 37.7 billion circa 2033. For hotel lobbies, bathrooms, restaurants and public areas, premium ceramic tiles have consistent demand because these tiles are durable and versatile for different settings, with the wide variety of designs, patterns, textures and finishes. Ceramic tiles are employed within the interior design of buildings to meet international architectural styles. Manufacturers RAK Ceramics, Porcellan Co. LLC, Al Khaleej Ceramics, Marazzi Group, and Kajaria Ceramics offer tiles at both budget and luxury ranges. With digital printing, manufacturers can create tiles that mimic the appearance of marble, wood, and stone, and achieve the look of more expensive materials without their maintenance and replacement costs. Architects and interior designers use ceramic tiles widely in residential and commercial contracts, particularly in the luxury hotel segment, since they can create very elaborate designs on made-to-order products. According to Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, Abu Dhabi seeks to develop sustainable cities and villas within. Saadiyat Island is developed and Abu Dhabi International Airport expands using sustainable building components. Hospitality projects generate recurring revenues, define the quality standards for ceramic tile producers and are important in establishing building codes for tile use in residential and commercial buildings.

Awareness for sustainability and technological innovation have increased the rate at which sustainable material is adopted in the UAE's construction industry. This is driven by national goals for a net-zero emissions target for 2050 and green building regulations. Spanish ceramic tiles and green alternatives to customary construction materials that have been manufactured from recycled materials and energy-efficient processes qualify for LEED certification. Ceramic tile attracts developers with green certification and buyers with interest toward sustainable design because the production proves environmentally efficient. Ceramic tile provides low maintenance, energy-efficient climate control, and durability. These factors contribute to a building's sustainability. Ceramic tiles have a longer life cycle so they require less replacement. As a result, they require less new material extraction, production and transportation, and therefore consume less energy. Digital printing, glazing and firing improvements have enabled manufacturers to provide tiles with a wide variety of textures and colors, in various formats for most interior and selected exterior environments. These products are mostly specified for use in high-end residential and commercial projects in which aesthetics and performance are paramount. Production advances have improved durability, reduced maintenance, and have helped manufacturers meet the consumer demand for performance-oriented and low-maintenance products in residential and commercial applications. The importance of the appearance of internal and external surfaces in the UAE, where luxury and architectural design is paramount for consumers and clients, is one of the reasons ceramic tiles are used for wall surfaces, floor surfaces and facades. The versatility of tiles, the availability of a wide variety of attractive colors and patterns, meets a variety of architectural needs throughout Dubai's skyline, Abu Dhabi's cultural landmarks and Sharjah's expanding urban cities.
