Homeowners Drive Growth for Decorative Tile

CLEVELAND, March 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- US demand for decorative tile in 
flooring applications is forecast to climb 2.3% per year to 3.5 billion square 
feet in 2023. The residential market will support demand for decorative tile's 
use in flooring, as rising personal incomes will allow more homeowners to 
undertake such projects as the renovations of kitchens and bathrooms and the 
addition of new bathrooms. These and other trends are presented in Decorative 
Tile, a new study from The Freedonia Group, a Cleveland-based industry research 
firm.

Porcelain tile will see the fastest growth rate through 2023 of all decorative 
tile material. Gains will be driven by porcelain's increased adoption due to 
durability, wear and slip resistance, and aesthetic qualities. Porcelain tile 
flooring can be made to look like natural stone or hardwood planks and to 
feature highly textured surfaces that are seen as attractive by many consumers. 
The rise in popularity of thin porcelain tile (TPT) – which is lightweight, 
durable, and easy to install – will further support gains.
US demand for decorative tile is forecast to expand 2.4% per year to 4.1 billion 
square feet in 2023. Growth will be supported by increasing commercial 
improvement and repair spending, which generates demand for decorative tile 
through the retrofitting of existing structures and the addition of new space to 
existing buildings.
