Tile Abrasion Testing Market Report 2026

The tile abrasion testing market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $4.89 billion in 2025 to $5.09 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing construction activities, increasing awareness of flooring quality, rising industrial flooring requirements, early development of tile testing standards, growing demand for long lasting building materials.

The tile abrasion testing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.26 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising infrastructure development, increasing quality regulation enforcement, growing focus on high traffic flooring durability, expansion of automated testing systems, increasing emphasis on material performance validation. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing focus on tile durability assessment, rising demand for quality certification in construction materials, growing use of standardized abrasion resistance testing, expansion of industrial and commercial flooring reliability testing, strengthening emphasis on safety and performance compliance.

The rising adoption of ceramic tiles is expected to boost the growth of the tile abrasion testing market going forward. Ceramic tiles are manufactured from red or white clay baked at high temperatures and are widely used for flooring, walls, and countertops due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. As their usage increases across residential, commercial, and industrial construction, the need to assess tile durability becomes more critical. Tile abrasion testing is used to evaluate a tile’s resistance to wear and tear by rubbing the surface with a rotating abrasive wheel and measuring surface damage through scratch depth and material weight loss. For instance, in April 2024, according to the Tile Council of North America, a US-based international trade association for ceramic tiles, U.S. ceramic tile consumption reached 2.85 billion square feet in 2023. Therefore, the rising adoption of ceramic tiles is driving the growth of the tile abrasion testing market.

In addition, growing construction activities are further propelling market growth. Construction activities involve the planning, design, and development of buildings and infrastructure, where tiles are extensively used in high-traffic areas. Increased construction creates a practical environment for tile abrasion testing, enabling manufacturers and builders to assess real-world performance and ensure long-term durability and quality. For instance, in June 2024, according to TST Europe, a Switzerland-based manufacturer specializing in coupling systems, total construction spending in the United States reached $1.98 trillion in 2023, representing a 7.4% increase from the previous year, with approximately 745,000 construction businesses operating nationwide. Therefore, expanding construction activities are reinforcing the demand for tile abrasion testing services.

In November 2025, Intertek Group plc, a UK-based quality assurance and testing company, acquired Professional Testing Laboratory LLC for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Intertek aims to strengthen its testing capabilities in the flooring sector and expand its service offerings related to product safety, performance, and regulatory compliance across North America. Professional Testing Laboratory LLC is a US-based company specializing in comprehensive testing and certification services for flooring products.
