Digital printing technology not only helps in enhancing the color of tiles but also reproduces the finish of marble, granite, and wood. Anti-microbial glazed tiles are also gaining traction in the market, especially in the residential, healthcare, and hospitality sectors. This new-age technology is infused during the manufacturing process of the tiles and helps in curbing bacterial growth on the surface of the tiles. Moreover, the incorporation of nanotechnology helps in the forming an invisible anti-bacterial layer on the surface of tiles that blocks the air holes on the surface of tiles, preventing dirt from penetrating and accumulating in the tiles. The introduction of novel technologies in ceramic tile manufacturing is anticipated to propel the growth prospects for this market until the end of 2020.
