Ceramic tiles are a mixture of clays and some other natural materials, like sand, quartz, and water. They are used in houses, restaurants, offices, and kitchen floor surfaces. They are easy to fit and clean, easy to maintain, and are available at reasonable prices.
Ceramics offer good strength and can withstand high temperatures or acidic materials but are brittle and weak in tension/shearing. They are used in floor tiles because of these characteristics.
The growing construction and infrastructure industry primarily drive the demand for ceramic tiles. Strong growth of the construction industry in emerging economies is expected to fuel the development of the ceramic tiles market in the future.
Floor tiles, wall tiles, and others are the key product segment of the ceramic tiles market. Floor tiles are also expected to be the fastest-growing product segment in volume throughout the forecast period. Wall tiles were the second leading segment. Other products segment, including tabletops, facades, etc., are also expected to exhibit significant growth in the years to come.

- Avoid using acidic cleaners, including vinegar.
- Don't use oil- or wax-based cleaners because they leave a residue that attracts dirt.
- Don't use steel wool or abrasive scrubbers.
Difference between Porcelain and Ceramic:
- Porcelain tiles are fired at higher temperatures far more for a longer time than ceramic, making them more durable and denser.
- Ceramic tiles are less porous and more delicate, which in this case, can easily absorb water.
- Porcelain's color or design is carried through the entire body.
- Ceramic tile designs and colors are printed on the surface and protected with glaze.
- Porcelain tiles cost more than ceramic tiles.
