As per several reports and market studies, the hike in demand for roofing tiles is due to numerous factors like population growth and rapid urbanization, and industrialization which drive the growth of the construction industry across the globe. However, the outbreak of Coronavirus has hit the demand and supply chain of the imported roofing tiles as leading manufacturers across the globe had to face hurdles in the manufacturing and production of clay and concrete roofing tiles. Now that the government across several countries has lifted Covid-19 related restrictions, there are some signs of relief as the markets have started to open up, resulting in the surge in the demand for imported ceramic roof tiles. However, the rise in demand and lack of supply has resulted in a massive price hike for these imported roofing tiles.
Talking about the price rise and the surge in demand for imported roofing tiles, Rajeel KP, the executive director of KPG Roofings at the Roof India Expo held in Bengaluru stated, “Despite the recent hike in the price, the ceramic coated white clay tiles still dominate the residential roofing market and are the most popular roofing material in South India. It is also a matter of public domain that recently the price of imported roof tiles was increased by 100% and one of the reasons for this was due to the increase in the shipping charge and struggles that were existing in the international market. This is the reason currently why we are unable to meet the demands of roofing tile materials.” Adding further, he said, “Our counters are now facing troubles to supply the materials to meet customer demand but we are working on it and probably we would be able to solve the issue very shortly.”
