The Italian ceramic tile industry closes 2022 with a significant confirmation of the production, sales and export volumes recorded in 2021.

According to Prometeia’s preliminary figures, presented at Confindustria Ceramica’s end-of-year press conference, around 458 million square metres were sold (+0.7% over 2021 and +13% over 2019), of which 364 million square metres abroad (+0.2%) and over 93 million square metres on the Italian market (+2.6%).

In overall terms, 2022 was characterised by a progressive slowdown in demand from all countries around the world and by the very significant rises in the cost of energy, which, for the thermal component alone, caused an increase in costs of more than 1 billion euros.
