In a remarkable achievement for Vietnam’s construction sector, Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh announced that the country has secured a prestigious spot among the world’s top 10 construction ceramic producers. Notably, Vietnam stands out as the world leader in ceramic tile output, claiming the impressive fourth position globally. This revelation, reported by vietnam.postsen.com on 4 December 2023, underscores the nation’s burgeoning prowess in the construction ceramic domain.

The Vietnam Ceramic Tiles Market, currently valued at US$5.16 billion in 2023, is poised for an exceptional growth trajectory. Forecasts indicate a projected value of US$9.78 billion by 2028, reflecting a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.64% during the forecast period (2023-2028). The market’s low concentration underscores the diversified landscape of this thriving industry.

A confluence of factors propels Vietnam’s dominance in construction ceramics. Notably, escalated construction spending emerges as a primary driver, steering the ceramic tiles market towards unprecedented growth. The strategic infusion of advanced technologies by businesses to elevate the quality of Vietnamese ceramic products, coupled with cost-effectiveness, has been pivotal.

Furthermore, the industry’s momentum is sustained by a strategic approach of blending traditional Vietnamese and Asian characteristics with Western elements, reflecting a global design sensibility. The government’s proactive stance has been a catalyst for this sector’s dynamic growth. Legal frameworks, plans, and strategies rolled out by governmental bodies from 2021 to 2030, with a visionary outlook to 2050, signify a concerted effort to propel the development of construction materials, particularly ceramics.

In an exemplary showcase of global reach, Vietnam’s construction ceramic products find homes in markets worldwide, including the ASEAN region, Northeast Asia, America, and Europe. Notably, the export revenue for 2022 is anticipated to surpass US$220 million, underscoring Vietnam’s pivotal role in the international ceramic market.

With an annual contribution of more than US$3 billion to Vietnam’s GDP, the ceramic manufacturing industry stands tall as a formidable economic pillar.
