COVID-19 Impact Analysis

  • The COVID-19 pandemic ceased the production of various products in the glazed tiles industry, which is attributed to the global lockdown. This has hampered the growth of glazed tiles market in the year of 2021.
  • COVID-19 has already affected the sales of glazed tiles in the year of 2021 and is anticipated to cause a negative impact on the market in the coming year.
