Business Information, contains comprehensive data on the current and projected
U.S. market supply of ceramic floor and wall tiles. It identifies key trends

publications, business journals, company literature, and investment reports.

Manufacturers and the Annual Survey of Manufacturers and estimated and
forecasted by SBI. Import and export data by were derived from the U.S.
Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission.
The market size of ceramic floor and wall tiles (market supply) is defined as
the value of ceramic floor and wall tiles supplied to the total U.S.
marketplace, in a particular period. Therefore, market size is determined by
supply rather than demand. The U.S. ceramic floor and wall tiles market supply
was calculated from the Department of Commerce statistics by collecting data
from domestic plant shipments, adding imports, and extracting exports. As
such, the formula for determining the market size will be Production in the
U.S. + Balance of Trade (i.e. Shipments + (Imports - Exports)).
Note that the values are in net selling values, i.e., free on board (f.o.b.)
from the manufacturing plant, and not the retail/wholesale price sold to the
end consumer.
