The ceramic sanitary ware market covers its production across regions. The
ceramic sanitary ware market is analyzed in terms of volume (million units)
produced utilizing pressure and slip casting technology in each region. This
data is used to asses the penetration levels of pressure casting technology in
each region. The improving sanitation levels in developing countries, low
energy, and labor cost in Asia-Pacific and South America are driving the
growth in ceramic sanitary ware production. In addition, changing consumer
preferences have driven the development of new luxury sanitary wares such as
private spas, saunas, shower systems, larger baths, etc. However, restraints
such as low penetration of pressure casting technology and environmental
effects of ceramic sanitary ware hamper the growth of the global ceramic
sanitary ware market.
The global ceramic sanitary ware production is expected to grow from 325
million units in 2011 to 443 million units by 2016, at an estimated CAGR of
6.39% for the same period. As of year 2011, Asia-Pacific leads ceramic
sanitary ware production with a share of 52.6% followed by Europe (17.9%),
South America (12.6%), North America (9.2%), and ROW (7.7%). Among the top
countries are China, Mexico, Turkey, Brazil, and Colombia. The major players
in the industry are Roca Sanitario SA (Spain), ToTo (Japan), American Standard
(U.S.), Kohler Group (U.S.), Eczacibasi (Turkey), Duravit (Germany), Villeroy
& Boch (Germany), and Ceramica Althea (Italy).
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to continue its dominance on the global
ceramic sanitary ware production, due the steady growth of ceramic sanitary
ware industry of China, and emergence of other powerhouses within the region;
namely India, and Thailand.

Summary
The global market for ceramic sanitary ware is witnessing a high growth due to
growth of the real estate market, diversification of ceramic sanitary ware
production to emerging countries, and changing end-user preferences. The
global ceramic sanitary ware production market is estimated to grow at a CAGR
of 8.29% from 2011 to 2016 to reach $33 billion by 2016. Asia accounts for the
major share; estimated to be 43% in the overall ceramic sanitary ware
production markets due to low cost manufacturing and presence of large number
of small and medium enterprises within the region.
Asia-Pacific region leads the global ceramic sanitary ware production. It is
estimated that as of 2011, Asia-Pacific region manufactures about 171 million
units of ceramic sanitary ware and this production is expected to reach 245
million units by 2016. China, India, and Thailand are the biggest ceramic
sanitary ware manufacturers in Asia-Pacific region. Amongst other regions,
Turkey in Europe, Brazil in South America, Mexico in North America, and Egypt
in Middle East region are the biggest ceramic sanitary ware manufacturing
countries within respective regions.
The global ceramic sanitary ware production is classified according to the
various product types. Ceramic Sanitary wares are products that are used
essentially for hygiene purposes.
Increasingly over a period of time, sanitary ware products are value as life
style products. Products such as water closets, toilets, bidets, cisterns,
wash basins, pedestals, and shower plates, etc are available in many
variations from low priced basic versions to high priced premium ones. Amongst
all product types, toilet/water closet (WC) is the largest manufactured. As of
2011, it is estimated that global ceramic toilet/water closet production
stands at 103 million units, which is expected to reach about 139 million
units by 2016, at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2011 to 2016.
The main market drivers for ceramic sanitary ware industry include the growth
of the real estate market, diversification of ceramic sanitary ware production
to emerging countries, and changing end-user preferences. While the growth is
restricted by low penetration percentage of pressure casting technology in
ceramic sanitary ware production and by environmental concerns; the areas of
major opportunity are identified as the emerging economies of Asia-Pacific,
South America, and Middle East. The major players in the industry are Roca
Sanitario SA (Spain), ToTo (Japan), American Standard (U.S.), Kohler Group
(U.S.), Eczacibasi (Turkey), Duravit (Germany), Villeroy & Boch (Germany), and
Ceramica Althea (Italy).
The ceramic sanitary ware production market is also segmented on the basis of
technology. Primarily, slip casting technology is used for molding ceramic
sanitary wares, however high pressure casting technology offers number of
benefits such as increased productivity, reduction in manpower, and high mold
life. The penetration of pressure casting technology differs from region to
region for production of ceramic sanitary wares. As of year 2011, Europe
accounts for 65% of ceramic sanitary ware units produced through pressure
casting globally. However penetration of pressure casting technology in Europe
is 32% as that of slip casting.
