Ceramics of Brazil
January 2023

The participation of Brazilian companies is organized by the Ceramics of Brazil project, carried out by Anfacer (National Association of Manufacturers of Ceramics for Coatings, Sanitary Ware and Congeners) in partnership with ApexBrasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency).

The US market, one of the world's largest in the sector, has been taking up more and more space in Brazilian exports of the sector. In 2016, it represented only 9% of the total. In 2018, it was already 13%; in 2021, it will account for 18% of the volume and 23% of the value. Last year the US became the main destination for national exports, with 20.6 million square meters supplied to the country, worth US$ 119.3 million.

COVERINGS is the most important North American sector exhibition for the ceramic tile distribution and retail channels, also reaching the markets of Canada, Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and the Caribbean. It is an environment that works as a showcase and a buying space. Brazil's participation in the event has been historic since 1998.

In 2023, the 19 Brazilian companies participating in COVERINGS are as follows: Alfagres; Angelgres; Carmelo Fior; Cerâmica Almeida; Cerâmica Elizabeth; Cerbras; Cristofoletti; Dexco; Formigres; Fragnani; Gail; Incepa; Itagres; Karina; Lef; Lume; Pamesa Do Brasil; San Marcos and Villagres.
