Leading New York consultancy firm, IMARC Group, have forecast substantial growth in the ceramic tiles market in the 6 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states.
This major economic block, comprising Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain, reached a market size of USD 10.3 Billion in 2024. IMARC Group predicts that the market will reach USD 15.3 Billion by 2033. This would mean a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.27% during the period 2025-2033.
Many of the factors driving this growth are those seen in other countries where the tile market is growing significantly. Increasing urbanisation, population growth, increased levels of disposable income and government led construction projects; all of these factors are driving the demand for high-end tiling.
Government-led mega-projects associated with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and UAE’s Vision 2021 are creating a demand for large quantities of durable tiles which can withstand the climate and the heavy traffic associated with public spaces. The Red Sea Project, Expo-city Dubai and Bahrain’s The Avenues shopping complex are three notable examples of large-scale developments requiring modern custom ceramic tiles. Following international trends, tiles printed digitally with patterns and motifs inspired by nature are in great demand for the kinds of large-scale public projects ongoing in the GCC region.
