Iran is one of the developed countries in the field of ceramic tile production. Due to the high population of Iran, the consumption of ceramic tiles in Iran is the eighth in the world and the export of its production reaches the seventh in the world. With these statements, Iran’s share of the global ceramic tile market is about four percent.
