German market growth
This increase largely benefited the German manufacturers, who reported an 8% increase in market share in terms of quantities, although this was offset by a parallel reduction in average revenues.
Italy and Spain are also profiting from the new economic situation: according to figures published by Assopiastrelle, sales of Italian tiles to the German market increased by 3.6% in value in the first half of 2004.
