Export of construction ceramics has positive growth
According to statistics from the International Trade Center (ITC), Vietnam is the 9th largest export market of construction ceramics in the global market in the period 2016-2020, with an average growth rate of 5.3%. 8.2%/year, the proportion of exports expanded, accounting for 0.9% of the total export value of global construction ceramics in 2020, an increase of 0.1 percentage points compared to 2019 and an increase of 0. 2 percentage points compared to 2016.
Notably, in 2020, Vietnam's export of construction ceramics still grew positively despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, reaching $375.5 million, up 9.9% compared to 2019.
However, ITC assesses that the proportion of Vietnam's exports is still very low compared to major export markets such as the EU and China, and even regional competitors such as Thailand. Therefore, there is still a lot of room for Vietnam's construction ceramic industry to exploit.
The export potential of construction ceramics is huge, because the demand for new construction materials is increasing sharply. Ceramic materials are widely used in structural details of buildings, from masonry, paving, wall cladding to hollow aggregates for lightweight concrete.
In addition, sanitary wares are indispensable materials in construction. Acid and heat resistant ceramic products are widely used in chemical industry, metallurgy and other industries. The main advantages of ceramic materials are durability and long life, from local raw materials can produce different products suitable for the requirements of use, the production technology is relatively simple, the cost is relatively simple. become competitive.
"This is considered an opportunity for Vietnam's construction ceramic industry and construction ceramic will become a potential export product because of the high demand for this item in the construction sector," ITC said.
Opportunities to expand the export of Vietnam's construction ceramics after the pandemic
ICT said, according to research from Technavio, the market size of construction ceramics is expected to reach 64.52 billion USD, with an average growth rate of 5.72% in the period 2021 - 2025.
The demand for ceramic products is increasing due to the increase in residential projects and buildings. Increasing disposable income causing consumers to increase spending on ceramic products is one of the main factors that will increase the demand for construction ceramics in the near future.
In the coming years, when the situation of COVID-19 epidemic is well controlled, economic activity will recover, commercial buildings, resort areas and houses will be active again, boosting the demand for consumer goods. construction ceramic products increased sharply.
Import demand for construction ceramics in the world market has grown positively in the past 5 years, thanks to strong activity in the real estate and construction markets in the main import markets.
According to ITC, import of construction ceramics has grown steadily in the period 2016-2020, with an average growth rate of 7.6%/year.
In particular, in 2020, global imports of this item decreased by 4.9% compared to 2019, reaching 36.3 billion USD, due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, production and export activities were disrupted. in the consumer market and the supply market.
In the structure of the import market for construction ceramics, the EU is the largest import market in the world in the period 2016-2020, with an average growth rate of 14.1%/year. The proportion of imported construction ceramics has increased gradually over the years, accounting for 27.3% in 2016, by 2020, accounting for 29% of the total import value of construction ceramics globally.
However, the EU was also greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, so the import demand for this item in 2020 reached 10.5 billion USD, down 0.9% compared to 2019.
In the EU, import demand from markets is uneven, while Germany, France, and Belgium reduce imports of construction ceramics in 2020, while Poland and the Netherlands increase imports of this item sharply. Followed by the US, UK, Korean, Chinese markets...
In the structure of global import markets for construction ceramics, markets with strong activities in the construction sector have increased their imports of ceramics in the 2016-2020 period, such as China, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Russia.
All these factors will be an opportunity for Vietnam's construction ceramic industry to increase exports to other countries in the future.
According to ITC, in order to promote and develop the construction ceramic industry, Vietnam needs to build and form centers for processing and standardizing ceramic materials synchronously for the ceramic industry. This is the driving force to stabilize production and is the premise for the development of high value-added ceramic products.
Along with that, planning concentrated ceramic production areas to preserve ceramic production centers and minimize the impact of ceramic production on the environment. Helping businesses improve production conditions to meet the world's standards-compliant needs.
Take advantage of tariff preferences from signed Agreements to import modern technological machinery products from developed countries, produce construction ceramic products suitable for domestic and international consumption needs. abroad, raising the value of products, increasing competitiveness and expanding market share in the world market.
