Ceramic Tiles Market to be worth of US$ 1.8 Bn By 2017-2022




Tiles find wide-ranging applications in the construction sector. 

They are used for covering floors, roofs, walls, and table tops of buildings. 


The function of such tiles varies from providing protection and durability to enhance the aesthetic appeal of walls and buildings. 


Tiles are made using various materials such as stone, metal, ceramic, and glass. 


Tiles made from ceramic materials are referred to as ceramic tiles and find extensive applications in the construction business. 


Based on application, ceramic tiles can be classified into floor tiles, wall tiles, industrial tiles, and vitrified or porcelain tiles. 


Ceramic tiles are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, durable, they show consistency in color and easy to maintain. 


These properties make them a much preferred option for use in the construction industry, which is driving the India ceramic tiles market. 


Moreover, ceramic tiles are used to decorate homes. 


This can present several opportunities in the market. 


However, there is high volatility in the prices of raw material such as bentonite, feldspar, silica sand and kaolin. 


This is a main restraint likely to hinder the growth of the India ceramic tiles market. 


Other aspects such as emission of greenhouse gases and particulate matter while processing of ceramic tiles, especially during drying and machining operations, hamper the growth of the ceramic tiles market.


Ceramic is non-metallic, inorganic, and typically crystalline in nature. 


It is chemically composed of nitride or oxide or carbide materials. 


Sometimes, partially crystalline elements such as silicon, glass, and carbon are also considered as ceramics. 


Different ceramics are manufactured through specific processes, of which the common process is to heat and subsequently cool the material to a certain temperature. 


Naturally, ceramics are strong, brittle and hard in compression, but are weak in tension and shearing. These properties make ceramics resistant to harsh environments and caustic or acidic materials.



Owing to these differentiating characteristics of ceramics, they find applications in a variety of products which are categorized as:
Structural: This includes ceramic applications in roof and floor tiles, pipes, and bricks

White ware: This includes ceramic applications in wall tiles, cookware, tableware, sanitary ware, pottery products, and more

Refractory: This includes applications in gas and fire radiant, kiln linings, glass and steel crucibles, and so on

Other: This includes all other applications of ceramics in various industries such as knife blades, disc brakes in vehicles, watch cases, and biomedical implants, among others

According to research report on the India ceramic tiles market, the market is anticipated to reach a value of about US$ 1.8 Bn by 2022 reflecting a sluggish CAGR during the forecasted period of 2017-2022.

Brass: Protecting the Viability of the Scrap Stream

Free-machining brasses  Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc. The presence of other elements in brass such as lead is often required to improve machinability. The superior machinability of brass is ideal for producing parts that are used in a variety of applications including valves, fittings and electrical components. The most commonly used, free-machining brass is UNS alloy C36000. In some applications such as potable water systems, federal and state regulations restrict the use of lead. This may require the specification of low or lead-free brasses. Some lead-free brasses rely on elements other than lead to improve machinability and other properties such as strength, hardness and corrosion resistance. The importance of scrap  The entire economy of the brass industry is dependent on the economic recycling of surplus material, or scrap. Brass for extrusion and hot forging is normally made from a basic melt of scrap of similar composition adjuste...
