The data underscores a substantial increase in ceramic tile imports, rising from 131 million square meters in 2011 to 175 million square meters in 2015, representing 6.4% of the world's ceramic tile imports. Further statistics from 2016 indicate that the U.S. imported glazed ceramics worth USD 74,418 thousand, as reported by the International Trade Centre (ITC).

A more detailed breakdown of the U.S. market reveals that ceramic tiles claimed the largest market share of 32.16% in 2016, with a valuation of USD 1,654.0 million.
