Earlier Report Observations

The Romanian market for ceramic tiles, mosaics and finishing ceramics expanded significantly in value from 228.7 million US dollars in 2018 to over 300 million by the early 2020s. Growth was particularly strong between 2019 and 2021, when the market size increased by more than 60 million US dollars to reach 303.6 million. This was followed by a period of stabilization, with the market value settling at 300.4 million US dollars in 2023.

This market expansion was driven by rising domestic production, which increased from 41.4 million US dollars in 2018 to 57.9 million in 2023, and by growing imports, which peaked at 259.7 million in 2021 before moderating. Exports from Romania remained relatively low but showed a consistent upward trend, rising from 3.5 million in 2018 to 5.4 million in 2023.
