Tile Abrasion Testing Global Market Report 2024

The tile abrasion testing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.47 billion in 2023 to $4.72 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period concerning tile abrasion testing can be attributed to factors such as heightened emphasis on quality assurance in construction, adherence to building codes and standards, the globalization of construction practices, increasing consumer expectations for durability, and growing environmental considerations within the industry.

The tile abrasion testing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.75 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period for tile abrasion testing is driven by factors such as the enforcement of stringent quality standards, the pace of urbanization, the emergence of specialty tiles, a heightened emphasis on safety considerations, and the rising demand for energy-efficient buildings. Notable trends expected in this period include the integration of automation, utilization of data analytics and reporting tools, increased customization and flexibility in testing equipment, adoption of non-destructive testing methods, and collaborative research initiatives within the industry.

The projected surge in the adoption of ceramic tiles is poised to significantly bolster the expansion of the tile abrasion testing market in the foreseeable future. Ceramic tiles, derived from high-temperature-fired red or white clay, find applications in flooring, wall coverings, and countertops. Tile abrasion testing serves as a crucial method to assess the endurance of ceramic tiles against wear and tear. This process involves rubbing a tile with a rotating abrasive wheel to gauge wear through the depth of scratches and the tile's weight loss. Highlighting this trend, in June 2022, Tile Council-North America reported a notable 9.9% increase in US ceramic tile consumption, escalating from 2,833,967 thousand square feet in 2020 to 3,113,421 thousand square feet in 2022. Consequently, the escalating adoption of ceramic tiles stands as a significant driver propelling the growth of the tile abrasion testing market.

The burgeoning construction activities globally are anticipated to serve as a pivotal catalyst propelling the expansion of the tile abrasion testing market in the coming years. These activities encompass the comprehensive process of planning, designing, and erecting physical structures or infrastructure. They offer a practical environment for conducting tile abrasion testing, providing invaluable insights into the real-world performance of tiles and contributing to enhancing their overall quality and durability in installations. Notably, statistics from various sources affirm this trend. For instance, in June 2021, Stats NZ Tatauranga Aotearoa revealed a 3.7% increase in building activities in March 2021 in New Zealand. Moreover, residential activities surged by 4.3% in 2021 compared to 2020. Similarly, data from the United States Census Bureau showcased a notable upsurge in construction activity value, rising from $1,626.4 billion in 2021 to $1,792.9 billion in 2022, marking a growth rate of 10.2%. Thus, the escalating construction undertakings globally serve as a prime driver propelling the growth trajectory of the tile abrasion testing market.

The growth of the tile abrasion testing market faces a significant hindrance due to the unaffordability of testing machines, particularly in underdeveloped and smaller economies. Tile abrasion testing machines are pivotal instruments utilized for assessing the wear and abrasion resistance of various materials, including tiles and ceramics. The substantial cost associated with these machines poses a challenge by dissuading small businesses, leading to increased tile prices, a heightened reliance on outsourcing, and limited access to quality control measures. The financial constraints in underdeveloped regions hinder their participation in tile abrasion testing, thus constraining the market's expansion and penetration in these areas. For instance, as reported by Alibaba.com, the average cost range of tile abrasion testing machines typically falls between $800.00 to $1,200.00, underscoring the affordability challenge prevalent in these economies and its consequent impact on the tile abrasion testing market's growth.

Prominent players within the tile abrasion testing market are actively directing their efforts towards the development of advanced testing technologies, notably slip-resistance technology, to better cater to the needs of their existing consumer base. Slip resistance technology specifically aims to mitigate the risk of slips and falls on various surfaces, particularly providing enhanced grip on wet and slippery areas. As an illustration, in August 2022, ASTM International, a renowned US-based international standards organization, introduced an upgraded version of ASTM E303-22, a floor slip resistance test. This latest iteration integrates a pendulum dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF) tester, designed to assess surfaces' ability to resist slipping or skidding, such as floors or roads. The ASTM E303 test methodology aligns with similar pendulum slip resistance test procedures in numerous other countries, gauging the energy dissipated as a rubber slider moves across the designated square-foot testing surface.

In July 2022, Temasek Holdings Limited, a prominent investment company headquartered in Singapore, successfully completed the acquisition of Element Materials Technology Ltd. The exact financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed.
