In
the eyes of most people, ceramic and porcelain are of the same concept, in
fact, they are two different things. Thus, the tiles we usually use for
building or decoration are divided into ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles as
well. Ceramic tiles are made up of coarse clay and other non-metallic
materials, by forming, sintering and other technology production of plate or
block pottery products; And porcelain tiles are with refractory metal oxide and
semi-metal oxide, classics grind, mix, suppress, apply glaze to wait for a
process, through dry pressing, extrude or other forming method is formed dry,
in inferior temperature (do not exceed 1650 degrees Fahrenheit commonly) below
burn become. Porcelain Tiles are usually glazed, that is, coated with a layer
of liquefied glass material, although some forms of porcelain tiles are also
unglazed.
In addition, another more significant difference expression between ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles is in bibulous rate respect. Generally speaking, ceramic tiles are more prone to seepage than porcelain tiles. Due to the advantages of porcelain tiles, the application rate of porcelain tiles is higher than that of ceramic tiles. In 2020, the market share of porcelain tiles in Sub Saharan Africa is 60.23%, while that of ceramic tiles is 39.77%.

After
a period of development, the industry has entered a mature stage. With the continuous upgrading of products,
quality optimization, and the continuous development of economy and technology,
the market is expanding.
In
2015, the total market value of the ceramic tile industry in sub-Saharan Africa
was $2.78911 billion, and the market value increased year by year from 2015 to
2019, reaching $3.42562 billion in 2019. However, due to the impact of the
pandemic, the total market value decreased to us $3,385.2 billion in 2020. On
this basis, we carried out a series of functional calculations, combined with
the impact of the epidemic on the industry, using a scientific model to derive
the data of the next 7 years, and finally predicted that by 2027, the total
market value of the ceramic tile industry in sub-Saharan Africa will reach
$5.21227 billion.
Research
shows that Nigeria and South Africa are the two largest revenue markets for the
ceramic tile industry in sub-Saharan Africa, together accounting for more than
half of the market in the region. The
total market value of Nigeria\'s ceramic tile industry was $735.22 million in
2015 and will grow to $893.37 million by 2020, ranking first with a market
share of 26.39%; The total market value of South Africa ceramic tile industry
in 2020 was $815.2 million, accounting for 24.08% of the market, ranking
second. Nigeria has a relatively developed economy and is the largest in
Africa. Nigeria is rich in natural resources, and as the most important source
of economic income for Nigeria, the oil and gas industry has long maintained
friendly trade relations with China. Oil
and gas, agriculture, communications, finance, manufacturing and tourism are
important industries that support Nigeria economic development. Therefore,
with a good economic foundation, the development of ceramic tile industry in
this area has also been supported, the development prospects are considerable. South
Africa is the second largest economy in Africa. Its per capita living standard ranks
among the highest in Africa. Its industrial system is the most complete in
Africa. Construction, manufacturing, energy and mining are the four major
industrial sectors in South Africa, and the relatively developed construction
industry will inevitably lead to the demand for ceramic tiles, thus driving the
development of ceramic tile industry.
In
terms of the market share of the top three companies in the industry, the
market concentration of the ceramic tile industry in sub-Saharan Africa is very
low, which means that the competition is quite fierce. In 2020, Italtile, Norcros and Artmar Natural
Stone Tiles Cc ranked the top three in the industry with market shares of
3.48%, 1.94% and 1.12% respectively, with a total market share of only
6.54%. The total market share of the top
six enterprises in the industry is only 8.77%.
