Abstract

US demand to grow 4.3% annually through 2011

Demand for decorative tile is forecast to increase 4.3 per year to four billion square feet in 2011. Demand for decorative tile is dominated by flooring applications, which accounted for just over four-fifths of total tile demand in 2006. Through 2011, demand for decorative tile will be spurred by increasing use of tile in flooring applications, as consumer preferences shift away from carpets and rugs. Flooring demand for tile is expected to increase five percent per year through 2011 to 3.3 billion square feet. Gains will be particularly strong in nonresidential flooring applications, driven by an increased appreciation of the performance and aesthetic qualities of tile. Building owners and property managers value tile because of its slip resistance, ease of installation, minimal maintenance requirements, and lower cost than other high-end flooring materials. In the residential market, growth will be driven by remodeling activity, as homeowners seek to replace old and worn floors with modern, aesthetically pleasing tile styles.

Nonresidential construction market offers best prospects

The nonresidential construction market will offer the best prospects. Decorative tile can be installed in malls, airports, office buildings, retail outlets, and other municipal and commercial buildings, with such uses as flooring, wall coverings, countertops and backsplashes. In addition to durability and moisture-resistance, decorative tile is seen as a modern, fashionable surfacing material. Demand will also be promoted by continued spending on residential kitchen and bathroom renovation, the two areas of a home where decorative tile is most likely to be installed. Increases in the size of kitchens and bathrooms will also spur tile demand.
