The tile abrasion testing market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the tile abrasion testing market has seen robust growth. The market is projected to expand from a value of $4.72 billion in 2024, reaching $4.99 billion in 2025. This equates to a composite annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%.
Factors such as the demand for quality assurance in the construction sector, implementation of building norms and standards, the international expansion of construction, expectations of durability from consumers, and conservation of the environment have steered the growth during the historic period.
The tile abrasion testing market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for tile abrasion testing is projected to witness robust expansion in the coming years. The industry's value is set to reach $6.09 billion by 2029 with a 5.1% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Factors contributing to this growth include strict quality requirements, fast-paced urbanization, the rise of specialty tiles, a heightened focus on safety, and energy-efficient structures. Key trends expected during the forecast period encompass the inclusion of automation, data analytics and reporting, the adaptability and personalization of testing apparatus, non-invasive testing techniques, and collaborative research efforts.
An upward trend in the adoption of ceramic tiles is eyed to expedite the tile abrasion testing market's growth. Produced from red or white clay that is heated at an elevated temperature in a kiln, ceramic tiles are commonly used for flooring, walling, and countertops. Tile abrasion testing is a method used to evaluate the resistant qualities of ceramic tiles against wear and tear. This is accomplished by rubbing an abrasive wheel onto the tile and measuring the weight loss and depth of scratches. In June 2022, the Tile Council-North America, a trade association for ceramic tiles based in the US, reported that ceramic tile consumption in the US escalated by 9.9%, moving from 2,833,967 thousand square feet in 2020 to 3,113,421 thousand square feet in 2022. As a result, the tile abrasion testing market growth is being driven by this rising preference for ceramic tiles.

Leading businesses in the tile abrasion testing market are prioritizing the creation of innovative testing technologies, one of which is slip-resistance technology, to better cater to the demands of their current consumers. The slip-resistance technology is engineered to decrease the risk of accidents due to slipping and falling on floors and provide excellent traction on wet, slippery surfaces. For example, ASTM International, an international standards organization based in the US, introduced an improved ASTM E303-22 in August 2022. This is a floor slip resistance test uniquely devised with a pendulum dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF) tester that measures a surface's ability to impede slippage or skidding, like a floor or a road. The ASTM E303 testing method is similar to the pendulum slip resistance testing procedures used in many other countries. It estimates the energy expended when a rubber slider is dragged across the square-foot testing surface.
