Tiles & Ceramics Boom
India is now the second-largest tiles producer globally, with Morbi (Gujarat) as the hub. Domestic demand for polished vitrified tiles, designer ceramics, and export demand from Africa and the Middle East continue to grow.
Paints Market Expands
The Indian paints industry is projected to grow at 10-12% CAGR over the next five years. Decorative paints lead the charge, while industrial coatings are gaining traction with the expansion of automotive and construction sectors. Asian Paints, Berger, and Kansai Nerolac are investing heavily in R&D for low-VOC, environment-friendly products.
Glass & Aluminum Rising
Modern construction emphasizes energy efficiency and aesthetics, boosting demand for architectural glass, uPVC windows, and aluminum solutions. Smart cities and commercial real estate growth are driving premium product categories.
Sustainability & Tech Shift
The adoption of eco-friendly tiles, recycled glass, and water-based paints is accelerating. Meanwhile, e-commerce platforms are emerging as strong distribution channels for paints and tiles, particularly in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.
Outlook
With urban middle-class aspirations rising, these sectors will remain strong contributors to India’s USD 64 billion building materials market, projected to grow steadily through 2033.
