The Indian ceramic tile industry has witnessed remarkable growth, positioning itself as a significant global player. In 2023, the market size of ceramic tiles in India surpassed INR 59,000 crores and is projected to reach INR 70,700 crores by 2025, driven by a robust CAGR of 13.6%. This impressive growth underscores India’s evolving role as a key exporter in the global tile market. This article delves into the dynamics of the Indian ceramic tile export sector, highlighting market trends, top exporters, and essential steps for accessing export data.

1. India’s Ceramic Tile Export Landscape

Growth Trajectory

India’s ceramic tile industry has shown substantial progress over the years. In 2013, India ranked as the ninth-largest tile exporter globally, with exports totaling approximately 55 million square meters. By 2023, India had ascended to become the world's second-largest exporter, with ceramic tile exports reaching 589.5 million square meters. Notably, more than half of these exports were directed outside of Asia, indicating India’s expanding global reach.

Key Export Destinations

United States

Iraq

These markets are significant due to their large construction and renovation sectors, which drive demand for high-quality ceramic tiles.

Product Categories

Other notable types include glass tiles, travertine tiles, ceramic tiles, encaustic tiles, metal tiles, and carving tiles.

OOC | Regional Exports

so i legit woke up thinking abt this???? what on earth was i dreaming abt?!!?!?? heehee but anyway!! while i ate breakfast i was rec'd and watched [ this ] (which btw i highly recommend!! it was super fun and v inspiring re: fantasy costuming! heehee) and so it all felt suuuper meant to be that i make this post hahahaha

anyway, first of all i want to say that these are purely IDEAS and we do not have to go w a single one of these!!! like, for example, if we don't like the idea of miners at lorcan, im not married to that!!! im just throwing out ideas based on the natural resources we can guess might be in these regions based on what we know of the landscape there etc? so yeah! mostly, tho, id love, love, love to hear any further ideas you guys might have!!!! but yeah w/o further ado...

ASTAIRA

ok so!! we've talked before abt this re: our biggest character-hitter locations, so i thought id maybe idk jabber a bit abt that ~and other places?

STAFFORD

artists & artisans (i feel like there are quite a few guilds based in stafford!)

sciences & invention

trade/luxury goods from throughout astaira (and to a lesser extent from across the sea -- im guessing hanthom must be situated more closely to the closest ~other continent or whatever and/or simply have a better natural harbor etc since they also seem to produce more ships than stafford but that makes sense w the shallow waters there too! aka only smaller boats can come directly to the citadel -- i also think there must be smth abt the tides near their rivers perhaps ~from the sea, etc, that make export ~throughout astaira esp feasible!)

seafood

MALCONAIRE

farming food production

lumber (ok so we haven't talked abt this part specifically...but i think its safe to say this is probs a big export for them -- also this might not seem super impressive to us in our day and age but back in this time having a source of lumber was a srs way to make BANK literal wars were fought over this! this is v big reason the spanish armada set sail no lie!)

carpentry (same as above)

HANTHOM

trade/luxury goods from across the sea

tyrian purple (again haven't disucssed it but its a rare and suuuuuuuper specialized/expensive purple dye made from mollusks soooo i can def see them producing it...and making BANK from roderick back in the day papa calleary: thank you for ur purchase! gonna use ur own money to build warships to fight you <3)

pearls

seafood

divers

shipwrights

ships

fossils <3

ok so now we come to things we haven't discussed...

ORMOND

ok so ive always pictured ormond as a pr flat place, plus we know its close enough to malconaire that its considered (at least partially) a vassal state so im thinking:

farm food production

plant-based textile production

textile- and fashion-arts artisans (if we go w this hc'ing that rosie used to go there a lot as a lil kid and just spend hours at their textile markets talking endlessly to their artisans!)

horse production and training

LORCAN

ok so we know two key features of their landscape: a moutain and a lake so!

freshwater food production and hatcheries

goat and sheep-sourced food production

mining/mineral & metal & stone & precious/semi-precious jewel production

pottery/ceramic/tile/mosaic production

welders/armorers/smiths/metallurgists

jewelers (feel like the varmonts also lost their shit over all the metal and jewels here!!!! omGGGG lkajsdfkljsdf the varmonts looking at the gold: is this heaven? the lorcans: omg i see you've spotted the swans! <3 ;DDD)

spectacles (iirc the first eye glasses were made of crystal so they may have even invented them here?)

wine

FENS

ok so fens in most cultures ~are pr notoriously poor re: exports bc they're usually ~fairly subsistance level HOWEVER in this magical society i think they've maybe got access to smth v rare and precious, indeed, given what we know of the dual-house, on both sides, that ruled there (rip btw <3):

seers

freshwater food production

freshwater pearls

papyrus-paper

calligraphy

styluses

sedge production

CALLEARY

ok so this is ocean stuff again but...icy remix!

pelts & furs

leather production

icebreakers

whaling

ice and snow-based athletics

sinew

soapstone

walrus/narwhal ivory

ice fishing

KIL-KENNAR

more mountains, but a whole chain this time with a high-altitude remix! (kil-kennar is like...vaguely inspired by the alps [but since this is fantasy world dialed up to 10] meets like the rockies kinda thing, so i kinda went w that...[yes...arthur bringing his army up there and fighting in the mountain passes ~was inspired by hannibal and a dash of alexander the great...no, arthur did noT bring elephants...you've got a long way to go, my friend...arthur: damn...])

seers

pilgrimage

religious practices/beliefes/rulings etc

philosophy & theology

artists

sheep & goat-based food production

cattle-based food production

mining (primarily iron ore & mineral production)

metallurgy/smithing

lumber production

carpentry

ice and snow-based athletics

trade within astaira (i envisage this mountain chain as sorta the gateway between maybe like...idk north and south or smth bc i feel like it must be strategic for roderick to have ordered such an enoromous effort in its undertaking etc but as a result, too, pr much everything must pass trhough here when traveling from one end of the country to the other if it isn't going by sea)

wine

ANYYYWAYYYYY i wanted to get the ball rolling on this bc i love this sorta stuff heehee <3 and i wondered if you guys had any ideas!! i was esp interesteed in artisanal/artistic styles/types etc that could come from the various regions we've invented here bc i do think that, moreso than other places, astaira is a hub of that sorta thing!
