PORCELA, the leader in health-conscious and environmentally friendly tiles, is set to debut a groundbreaking series of innovative tiles – a first in Thailand at Architect Expo 2025 in Bangkok. The showcase will feature collections such as the Apple Collection, High-Depth Innovation, Anti-Bacterial Tiles, Anti-Slip Tiles, Techno Matt Innovation, Wood Plank, Vinyl Tiles (SPC, LVT), Embossed Garden Collection, Snake Skin Collection, Big Slab Tiles and more. These offerings are designed to meet the evolving needs of architects, designers, project owners, clients, and general consumers, in response to a tile innovation market projected to grow by 10% compared to last year.
Miss Panjama Laowiwatwong, Managing Director of Ruampat Ceramic Co., Ltd. – a specialist in the production, import, and distribution of high-quality tiles and decorative materials – stated that Thailand’s ceramic tile and surface decoration market may see slight stagnation in the first half of 2025. However, stronger growth is anticipated in the latter half of the year, supported by government initiatives such as tax deductions and digital wallet programs. Overall, the domestic market is expected to grow by 1–2% in 2025 from 2024, with the ceramic tile market valued at approximately 29.8 billion baht in 2024, or around 151 million square meters.
The most consistently growing segment is innovative tiles, forecasted to expand by 10% this year. In response, PORCELA has developed new product lines tailored to the needs of architects, designers, project developers, and consumers. The brand aims to further grow its customer base in these key segments.
At Architect Expo 2025, PORCELA will present cutting-edge tile solutions that align with ESG principles and green construction standards. The entire production process – from concept to delivery – is environmentally and socially responsible. Highlights include:
