As announced in our magazine as early as last autumn, the figures for ceramic tile imports into the United States in the first
quarter of this year confirm China’s comprehensive exit from the market (-98% in both volume and value compared to the
first quarter of 2019) following the introduction of countervailing and anti-dumping duties.
Overall, tile imports into the USA in the first quarter of 2020 fell sharply to 39 million sqm, about 7 million sqm less than the
46 mil-lion sqm of the first quarter of 2019 (-14.9%).
But who were the losers in terms of market share (apart from China which lost no less than 11 million sqm!) and who were
the win-ners?
