Market scale & growth: India’s ceramic-tile market is worth US $30.5 billion (2024) and is expected to double to c. US $70 billion by 2035 (CAGR ≈ 7.8 %).
Export capacity: With 2.5 billion m² of installed capacity, India is the world’s No. 2 tile exporter, shipping ≈ 600 million m² in 2024.
Natural stone leadership: India accounts for ~12 % of global stone-tile exports, generating ~US $5 billion in 2023.
