Ceramic Tableware Market: Growth Drivers

Growth in the hospitality industry drives the market growth

The expansion of the restaurant, hotel, and café industries has a big influence on the demand for ceramic tableware. Because of its toughness, aesthetic appeal, and capacity for heavy usage in commercial settings, these institutions frequently favor ceramic tableware. The demand for ceramic tableware is driven by the global expansion of the hospitality sector. For instance, as per Condor Limited, in the US, there are at least 91,000 hotels and motels, of which 52,000 are hotels. They produce a yearly income of more than $194 billion as a group. Moreover, according to the Hotel Tech Report 2022, the typical American hotel makes 65% of its money from rooms, 25% from food and beverage, and 10% from other sources. Therefore, the growth in the hospitality sector is one of the significant factors that propel the ceramic tableware market expansion over the forecast period.

Ceramic Tableware Market: Restraints

The high manufacturing cost acts as a major restraint for the market growth

The making of ceramic tableware involves several steps, including the preparation of the raw materials, shape, glazing, and kiln burning. Due to the specialized tools, expert personnel, and energy requirements of these processes, production prices are often greater. Because of the increased prices, ceramic tableware products may be more expensive and so less accessible to some customer groups. Thus, the high manufacturing cost of tableware products is expected to hamper the ceramic tableware industry growth during the forecast period.

Ceramic Tableware Market: Opportunities

Growing urbanization is expected to offer a significant opportunity

Urbanization growth is a significant aspect since it affects how consumers behave while making purchases. Demand for the product is also being driven by the expanding residential market. For instance, according to the 2011 Census, there were 78.48 million homes in India, up from 52.06 million. In other nations, population growth brought on by consumer groups migrating from other nations has increased the number of households and boosted household consumption, driving increasing market demand for the products. For instance, a sizable number of Indian consumers is migrating to North American nations like Canada and the United States, which has an effect on local product demand and ultimately drives up worldwide demand. Consumers desire to have new dinnerware in their new homes because the trend of renting houses frequently forces them to move. Eventually, this is driving up demand for the products on the ceramic tableware industry.

Ceramic Tableware Market: Challenges

The fragile nature of tableware poses a major challenge to the market growth

When compared to materials like stainless steel or melamine, ceramic dinnerware is more brittle and prone to breaking. Due to its fragility, it is difficult to ship, handle, and use daily. The possibility of breaking may discourage some customers from purchasing ceramic dinnerware or change their preferences for more robust substitutes. Thus, the fragile nature of ceramic tableware is expected to pose a major challenge to the growth of the ceramic tableware market over the projected period.

Ceramic Tableware Market: Segmentation

The global ceramic tableware industry is segmented based on product type, material type, product, application, distribution channel, and region.

Based on the product type, the global market is bifurcated into ceramic dinnerware, ceramic beverage ware, and ceramic flatware.

Based on the material type, the global ceramic tableware industry is divided into bone China, stoneware, porcelain, and others. The bone China segment is expected to hold a significant market share over the forecast period. The growth in the segment is attributed to its properties including durability, high quality, elegance, lightweight, and others. The most durable porcelain ceramic is bone China, which can normally withstand regular usage for a long time. They can withstand occasional shocks and slides without breaking or chipping since they are not as delicate as porcelain. In addition, Bone China is a lovely material that gives your dining area and kitchen a posh vibe. It may be enhanced with attractive patterns and decorations to enhance its appeal. Thereby, driving the segment growth during the forecast period.  

Based on the product, the market is segmented into plates, bowls, cups, trays, and cutlery.

Based on the application, the global ceramic tableware market is bifurcated into household purposes and commercial purposes.

Based on the distribution channel, the ceramic tableware industry is divided into supermarkets and hypermarkets, specialty stores, wholesalers, online, and others. The online segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Due to the rapid expansion of internet and smartphone use throughout the world, sales of ceramic tableware through online channels are booming. Online shoppers are being enticed to buy ceramic tableware by features including simplicity, significant savings, and improved payment and return procedures. Additionally, due to ease of access and doorstep service, young professionals with busy schedules choose online channels over traditional ones for their shopping.
