The 5th annual report entitled “World ceramic tile production and consumption” produced by the Acimac Research Depart-ment and presented in this issue provides an overview of the global tile industry and market, which have resumed growth following a year of stagnation and sub-percentage-point var-iations. In 2016, world ceramic tile production grew by almost 6% to pass the 13 billion sq.m mark, buoyed in particular by the recovery in Asia (+8%) and the more rapid pace of growth in production in the European Union (+7%) and North Ameri-ca (+8.5%), matched by almost identical increases in demand in the same regions.The growth in Asia is attributable above all to the twin gi-ants of “Chindia”: China in response to the upturn in domes-tic demand (exports are continuing to fall) and India driven by strong growth in exports to the Middle East (up by no less than 39%!), in some cases replacing Chinese products (for ex-ample in Saudi Arabia). Global import-export flows remained lacklustre for the third year running, growing by just 48 million sq.m to 2,794 million sq.m (+1.7%). Furthermore, this growth was entirely attribut-able to the strong performance of the European Union – in other words Italy and Spain – which exported a world-leading 80% of its entire output and alone accounted for one quarter of total world exports.

In sharp contrast with the contraction in South America and North Africa, the growth in production in Europe, India and the NAFTA region is reflected in the figures for the world’s top 25 ce-ramic tile groups scattered across four continents, which are ex-tremely heterogeneous in terms of product types and value of production, level of internationalisation and market penetration. In 2016 the top 25 groups manufactured a total of approximately 1,750 million sq.m (13% of world production) and more than half of them reported growth in output volumes. Standouts include the results of Mohawk Industries in the USA, Lamosa and Vitromex in Mexico, Pamesa and STN in Spain, Ka-jaria in India and Arwana Citramulia in Indonesia. The strong performance of the Italian industry is confirmed above all by the increase in value of production, as demonstrated by the results of the top 30 companies which almost all posted revenue growth in 2016, more than ten of them in double digits. 5

trend positivo dell’Unione Euro-pea, vale a dire Italia e Spagna, capaci di esportare l’80% della produzione nazionale (un prima-to mondiale), e che da sole rap-presentano un quarto dell’intero export mondiale.

La crescita produttiva in Euro-pa, India e area Nafta, rispetto alla contrazione in Sud America e Nord Africa, si ritrova nei da-ti dei 25 maggiori gruppi mon-diali del settore, gruppi sparsi in quattro continenti, estremamen-te eterogenei per tipologie e va-lore delle produzioni, livello di internazionalizzazione e pene-trazione dei mercati. Nel 2016 i top 25 hanno fabbricato com-plessivamente circa 1.750 mi-lioni mq (il 13% della produzio-ne mondiale) e oltre la metà di essi hanno incrementato i pro-pri volumi. Tra questi spicca-no i risultati del colosso ameri-cano Mohawk Industries, del-le messicane Lamosa e Vitro-mex, di Pamesa e STN in Spa-gna, Kajaria in India e Arwana Citramulia in Indonesia. Il buon andamento dell’indu-stria italiana trova conferma soprattutto nell’aumento del valore delle produzioni, come mostrano i risultati delle prime 30 aziende, che, nella quasi to-talità, hanno chiuso il 2016 con ricavi in crescita, a doppia cifra per oltre una decina di impre-se. 5

La 5a edizione del rapporto an-nuale “Produzione e consu-mo mondiale di piastrelle ce-ramiche”, realizzato dal Cen-tro Studi Acimac e presentato in anteprima in questo nume-ro, ci consegna una fotografia dell’industria e del mercato glo-bali che tornano a correre dopo un anno di calma piatta e varia-zioni da “zero-virgola”. Con un incremento di qua-si il 6%, nel 2016 la produzio-ne mondiale ha sfondato il mu-ro dei 13 miliardi mq. Meri-to della ripresa asiatica (+8%) e dell’accelerazione della cre-scita produttiva in Unione Eu-ropea (+7%) e in Nord Ameri-ca (+8,5%), parallelamente ad un pressoché analogo aumen-to della domanda nelle stesse aree.La crescita asiatica si chiama innanzitutto “Cindia”: la Cina, in risposta alla maggiore do-manda interna (l’export conti-nua a calare); l’India, al contra-rio, in forte ascesa sui merca-ti esteri nell’area mediorientale (l’export ha segnato un +39%!) e in alcuni casi in sostituzio-ne di forniture “made in China” (vedi Arabia Saudita). Decisamente poco dinamici, invece, per il terzo anno con-secutivo, sono i flussi di im-port-export globali, cresciuti di appena 48 milioni mq a 2.794 milioni mq (+1,7%). Un aumen-to peraltro tutto ascrivibile al

United Minerals Italy has been established in

the heart of the Italian ceramics district to

distribute Ukrainian clays coming from the

mines of the United Minerals Group (Vesco,

Druzhkovka Quarry, Ogneupornerud), currently

World’s biggest producer of white clays for the

ceramics industry.

UMG clays (Granitic and DN0 grade) have always

been considered to be the best raw materials for

producing large ceramic slabs, which require a

high percentage of alumina in order to obtain an

extremely high green strength ceramic bodies.
