(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/tb3jl4/ceramics_market)
has announced the addition of Wintergreen Research, Inc's new
report "Ceramics: Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts,
Worldwide, 2014 to 2020" to their offering.
Consideration of ceramics market forecasts indicates that
markets at $296.2 billion will reach $502.8 billion by 2020. Growth
comes as every industry achieves efficiency in manufacturing
process and renewable energy efficiency. The vendors in the
ceramics industry have to invest in high-quality production
processes, logistics systems that guarantee fast delivery and the
development of innovative products in order to keep market
share.
Worldwide ceramics markets are increasingly diversified, poised
to represent significant size as every segment continues to grow.
Ceramics covers a broad range of sectors within the building
industry. Ceramics sub-sectors are being impacted by the need for
the availability of raw materials and the high costs of energy. As
solar energy becomes available, competitive, and affordable by
2016, this is set to create vast market shifts in the ceramics
markets.
The cost structures of energy-intensive ceramics producers are
impacted by increasing fuel prices. The ceramics manufacturing
process needs efficient energy. High energy costs for manufacturing
is changing markets, hindering the competitiveness of ceramics
producers without access to cheap fuels. The price of energy has
risen. Ceramics sectors substantially mirror the change in the
price of crude oil. Energy costs account for a measurable share of
operating costs.
Ceramic segments include roof tiles, floor tiles, bricks,
sanitary pottery, ceramic insulation, glass, cement, and refactory
clay bricks. There are many different types of ceramic tiles
including refractory tiles, technical tiles, ornamental tiles,
roofing tiles, and tiles made into stands.
The ceramics sector is faced with a number of competitiveness
challenges, many of which have been fuelled by globalization.
Increased environmental regulation continues to be an issue. The
increase in the number of comparative low-cost ceramics products
being imported from emerging economies is a sign that in some
sectors, particularly in the ceramic tableware sub-sector, the
local competitive advantage on the basis of cost is
diminishing.
Major global players are emerging in many ceramics subsectors,
especially in wall and floor tile manufacturing.
