There are more than 140 producers of ceramics and tiles in Iran, of which 95% belong to the private sector and about 450,000 people work in this field directly and indirectly, according to Behnam Aziz-Zadeh, director of Iran’s Tiles and Ceramics Association.
Domestic production capacity stands at 720 million square meters per year, which is threefold higher than domestic consumption, he was also quoted as saying by Fars News Agency.
“A total of 460 million square meters of tiles and ceramics were produced last year [March 2021-22], of which 182 million square meters were exported to 52 countries.”
