Industry Analysis
Ceramic industry of Bangladesh is a booming sector and the growth potential of both domestic
and international market indicates it may become one of the biggest foreign exchange earners
for the country. Over the years, the Ceramic industry in Bangladesh has flourished immensely
and has gained recognition throughout the world. Quality of products has helped Bangladesh to
carve a niche in the global market; the manufacturers in this sector are taking risks while
diversifying their designs into world-class standards. Furthermore, the natural gas that is used
in the kilns of the Bangladesh's ceramic industry does not contain any sulphur and that is why
the country's ceramic products look brighter and shiny. The close competitors of Bangladesh
are China and India, but they mostly produce traditional items. Moreover, due to recent global
financial crisis and rising labor cost, the developed countries are placing more orders to low-
cost countries like Bangladesh.

With the increasing demand of Ceramic & allied products both at the domestic and
international markets, all major Bangladeshi ceramic companies have been expanding their
plants and operations. As a result, there is enough scope for foreign exporters keen to explore
the overseas market as well as investors seeking joint ventures in the Ceramic and allied
sectors. While the exporters can pick up the aforesaid opportunities, foreign investors could
consider setting up JVs with Bangladesh's local companies looking for potential partners
capable of providing machineries, Equipments and Raw materials on long term credit.
Bangladeshi ceramic products are exported to about 50 countries.

Business Analysis of Monno Ceramics

Ceramics industry has turned into a booming manufacturing sector in Bangladesh over the
years, cashing in on growing demand both in domestic and international markets.

Since 1958, this sector has flourished tremendously and in last ten years the total ceramic
industry’s production growth rose by almost 200%. At present the industry caters to 85% of
local demands while because of high quality, ceramic products of Bangladesh have huge
demand in international markets as well. According to Bangladesh Ceramics Manufacturers and
Exporters Association (BCMEA), a total of 66 ceramic manufactures are operating in the
country, producing mainly tableware, tiles and sanitary ware. Of these factories, 20 are making
tableware, 28 tiles, while 18 are producing sanitary ware. Investment of all the factories
amounts to a total of Tk8,616 crore, while about 50,000 people are directly involved in the
industry.

Speaking to Dhaka Tribune, Bangladesh Ceramic Manufacturers and Exporters Association


(BCMEA) President Shirajul Islam Mollah said that ceramic industry was a highly potential and
labour intensive sector.

The yearly production capacity of the local ceramics industry is 25 crore pieces tableware, 20
crore square metre tiles and 90 lakh pieces of sanitary ware and value addition in ceramics
stands at 65%. As per BCMEA data, total domestic market consumption of ceramic products
was around Tk5,450 crore in FY2017-18, of which locally produced ceramic products were
worth nearly Tk4,340 crore, while imports hit Tk1,110 crore.

In case of tableware, a 92.87% market demand is met with locally produced goods, while the
remaining 7.13% with imported products.

As regards tiles, local companies occupy 76.18% of the total market share and imported
products hold the rest 23.82% while 88.32% market demand of sanitary ware is met with locally
produced products and the rest 11.68% with imported goods.

Tableware is exported to more than 50 countries including the US, Canada, European Union
countries and Australia; tiles to India, Nepal and Bhutan; and sanitary ware to the Middle East,
especially to the UAE. Irfan Uddin, general secretary of Bangladesh Ceramic Manufacturers and

Business Analysis of Monno Ceramics

Industry Analysis
1. Rivalry among existing firms:
The ceramic industry of Bangladesh faces stiff competition from foreign sources like Sri
Lanka, China and Thailand but the domestic marketplace is yet weakly competitive.
Ceramic manufacturers like Monno Ceramic, Shienpukur Ceramic, Standard Ceramic,
FARR Ceramic and Bengal Fine ceramic are still leading, especially in the export market,
and have been recently expanding their plant to further improve their share of export
market. All other ceramic manufacturers are also increasing their production capacity
following robust growth in demand for ceramic wares.
2. Threat of new entrants:
Bangladesh has certain competitive advantages in the international market in terms of
availability of gas, cheap labor and the generalized system of preferences(GSP) that
allows Bangladesh to have duty-free exports to Europe and there is no quota restriction
either on the export. Considering this sector’s potentiality for Investment, ceramic
industry has always allured both local and foreign investors. Since domestic and export
demand for ceramic products are rising rapidly, widening the gap between demand and
supply, the new entrants can easily expect to earn attractive profit by capturing the
untapped demand. As the construction industry including residences, shopping malls
and others is growing so fast, the ceramic tiles business is becoming one of the booming
and prospective sectors with a staggering annual growth rate of 20 percent
3. Threat of substitute products:
The ceramic industry is already in fierce competition with low-priced sanitary ware, tiles
and table wares, mostly imported from China. Besides, this sector is also facing strong
competitive pressure from firms in other industries offering substitute products. The
demand for low-priced, attractive and convenient substitutes of ceramic tableware such
as melamine wares, aluminum wares, steel kitchen wares, glass wares and plastic wares
are raising and the local manufacturer of these products are also drawing significant
profits from the thriving domestic market for crockery. In recent years, large scale
manufacturers have entered the crockery market, with their brands competing strongly

8
Business Analysis of Monno Ceramics

with both local ceramics products and foreign products of their same kind. Some local
manufacturers are even producing world-class plastic goods, spending a large amount
on TV commercials and selling thousands of pieces every month. Companies like
Bangladesh Melamine, Sharif Melamine, RFL, BRB, and GAZI are contributing greatly to
this thriving crockery market by creating demand for new products.
4. Bargaining power of buyers:
Individual consumers of ceramic products in this industry have much bargaining power
in negotiating price concession or other favorable terms with seller, hence, the
individual buyers mostly pay the seller’s posted price. However, its relatively easy for
buyers to switch to comparatively low-priced imported ceramic goods; keeping this in
mind, the local manufacturers are aiming for competitive pricing to attract and retain
customers.
5. Bargaining power of suppliers:
Bangladesh needs to import 100% raw materials for producing ceramic wares. The raw
materials account for 35-40 percent of the total production cost of the ceramic
products. The raw materials of ceramic wares include China clay, ball clay, fire clay,
feldspar, quarters plaster of Paris, aluminum oxide, aluminum hydrooxide, zinc oxide,
coloring items and liquid gold. These raw materials and machineries are imported from
mainly India, China, Rumania, Indonesia, Italy and Germany. The Mymensingh clay could
be used for producing tiles, but in 2007 the government put an embargo on cutting hills
which stopped the ceramic manufacturers from procuring raw materials from the
Mymensingh hills. Since in Bangladesh, there is a shortage of raw materials, equipment
and machineries for ceramic industry, it gives the supplier more leverage in bargaining
the price. But the supplier base of ceramic sector is moderately large enough to weaken
the supplier power. However, some of the suppliers like India are also showing interest
to integrate into the ceramic industry of Bangladesh and perhaps could become
powerful rival

Horizontal Integration of Monno


When a company wishes to grow through horizontal integration, its aim is to acquire a similar
company in the same industry. Companies may choose to undergo horizontal integration in
order to increase their size, diversify product or services offerings, achieve economies of scale,
or reduce competition. They may also wish to gain access to new customers or markets,
including overseas. For example, a department store may choose to merge with a similar one in
another country to start operations overseas. The result of horizontal integration, when
successful, is the ability to produce more revenue together compared to if they were to
