Large conglomerates expanding ceramic footprints

Rapid urbanisation, diversified housing and a rise in people’s disposable income: these are the factors that have been boosting the country’s ceramic market to a more than Tk6,000 crore with a 20% annual growth. The increasing demands for ceramic tableware, sanitaryware and tiles encouraged the large conglomerates to enter the market while the existing players are also in an expansion mode. Meanwhile, agri- consumer giant Pran-RFL is revving up to enter the ceramic market that has clocked around 100% growth in the last six years. The company will manufacture tiles initially. Ceramic market in the past six years got at least Tk4,000 crore investments by five large companies such as Sheltech, DBL and Greatwall Ceramic – raising the total market investment to Tk10,000 crore.
