Russia Ceramic Tiles Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant effect on the construction sector. COVID-19 has slowed the production of these ceramic tiles due to lack of labour and country wide lockdown. This has depleated the demand of Ceramic Tiles in Russia.

Russian ceramic tiles market is anticipated to register growth numbers during the forecast period. During 2017, the ceramic tile market in Russia suspended a two-year decline, which was a result of negative dynamics in the economy and a decline in household incomes. This helped expensive foreign products to enter the market and occupy a significant part of it. As a result, by the end of 2017, there were about 25 production sites for the production of ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles in Russia. Ceramic tiles successfully compete with other types of flooring and cladding, therefore there is a steady demand for it both from the population and in the segment of industrial and commercial construction. During the study period, the share of the total production of ceramic tiles to the total production of floor coverings decreased from 41.9% to 38.5%. Factors like housing renewal programs proposed in the major regions of the country which is similar to the renovation program in Moscow, decrease in mortgage rates and implementation of large infrastructure projects in the country are forecasted to boost the ceramic tiles market in Russia.
