Israel Ceramic tiles market has suffered several setbacks during 2020 due to the sudden COVID-19 pandemic. However, the supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 in turn affect the ceramic tiles market with revenue losses.
The State of Israel in the 1970s or 1980s knows that there is only one type of flooring in buildings. These were the "embossments" that were used everywhere, in residential buildings, schools, office buildings, train stations and to a large extent also in courtyards. Beginning with the great construction boom in Israel in the early 1990s, those tiles quickly disappeared from the construction industry in Israel. Which replaced them were porcelain tiles later called ceramic tiles and today mostly referred to as the puzzling "porcelain granite". There were several reasons for this replacement and the first and decisive reason was the Israeli standard. The Israeli standard for embossing requires the tiles to withstand a strength test of 350 kg. A tile that is twenty inches long will withstand this load easily, but a tile that is sixty inches long will already need to be thicker, so it will be heavier and less comfortable for flooring. So ceramic tiles became popular in Israel.
The raw materials for manufacturing of ceramic tiles in Israel are imported from Turkey and Ukaraine, which incurs additional costs to the manufacrurers in the country. The Ceramic tile market in Israel consists of many importers who sell and market similar products and substitutes for the manufacturer's products.
In order to capture the dynamic customer preferences, interior designers no more confining ceramic tiles to flooring applications to the kitchen and bathroom areas in the residential use and are also preferring them in non-conventional areas like living rooms, bedrooms. Along with the floor tiles, the latest rage is wall tiles that are chosen by customers for beautifying their walls and facade cladding, replacing paints which were the only option available earlier. Tiles that are resistant to stains and dirt, which can be cleaned with a damp mop, sponge, or common household cleaners. Hence, these are preferred in the living areas, on walls, floors, or facades. Also, manufacturers are focusing on making a variety of products that will catch customer interest. Wall tiles with extra sheen and have glossy surfaces, which illuminate a dull room and enhance the style quotient of the living area are gaining more significance in recent times.
The Ministry of Construction and Housing and the Israel Land Authority (ILA) said that some 30,000 affordable housing units will be listed for sale in 2022, starting with 10,000 units set to go on the market. In fact, for nearly a decade the average number of buildings constructed annually was 325 000 which according to estimates has contributed to an accumulated deficit of over 100,000 units.
