Segment performance highlights

  • Tiles segment: FY 2025 delivered growth in tiles division in both volume and value, led by the UAE, the Middle East, Europe (Germany), and Bangladesh. Revenue from tiles division rose 1.9% to AED 1.89 billion in FY 2025 compared to AED 1.86 billion in FY 2024.
  • Sanitaryware segment: Revenue was flat at AED 466.4 million in FY 2025 supported by sales in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.
  • Faucets segment: Revenue grew by 4.6% YoY to AED 465.2 million in FY 2025 driven by improved performance in Saudi Arabia, Europe, Asia and Africa. We remain committed to improving Kludi’s operational performance and are progressing with our cost-optimisation strategy, including relocating key EU production facilities to the UAE.
  • Tableware segment: Delivered resilient performance, with revenue marginally lower by 1.4% YoY at AED 364.1 million in FY 2025. We are focusing on higher-margin channels such as airlines and premium hospitality projects. In October 2025, RAK Porcelain Group announced a strategic acquisition of Bankook Design Chambre S.L., the owner of the Cookplay brand, expanding its premium tableware portfolio and strengthening its presence in the European market.

Tiles & Sanitaryware market highlights

  • The UAE market continued to outperform, driven by the tiles and sanitaryware segment, coupled with the strength in the real estate sector. Revenue in the UAE market jumped 13.4% in FY 2025 to AED 955.8 million. A greater share of project-based business has contributed positively to both revenue and margin, with growing demand for large-format porcelain tiles.
  • In Saudi Arabia, revenue declined by 17.7% in FY 2025 to AED 232.1 million as performance remained under pressure due to intense competition and an oversupply of tiles from local producers. We are well positioned to meet market demand as the Saudi Arabia market is experiencing a decisive shift from Ceramic tiles to Porcelain tiles. Also, we are making steady progress on the Greenfield Tiles Project in Yanbu - expected completion by Q1 2027, to support long-term capacity and cost competitiveness.
  • In Europe, revenue declined by 5.2% to AED 323.3 million in FY 2025, as demand stayed subdued amid macroeconomic headwinds across the retail and project sectors and intensified competition from regional players. Italy was further impacted by the withdrawal of renovation incentives; mitigation and turnaround initiatives have been initiated across Europe operations.
  • In India, revenue declined by 9.2% to AED 331.1 million in FY 2025, as the market experienced a cyclical slowdown during the year marked by limited domestic growth across the industry. We are strengthening our retail presence, including revamping of retail stores & own showrooms and expanding our dealer network.
  • In Bangladesh, revenue increased by 5.0% to AED 220.5 million, as the market showed signs of recovery. We have initiated actions to regain market share through new product launches, competitive pricing, and stronger distribution channels. The formation of a new government following the national elections is expected to revive stalled public-sector projects, supporting revenue growth in FY 2026.
  • In Middle East, revenue in FY 2025 rose 6.1% YoY to AED 128.3 million, driven by favorable market conditions.

Commenting on the performance, Abdallah Massaad, Group Chief Executive Officer of RAK Ceramics, said:

“We are encouraged by the progress achieved during the year, particularly in margin expansion, manufacturing efficiencies, and the strength of our UAE operations. While near-term challenges persist in certain markets, we are actively executing targeted turnaround and growth initiatives across our portfolio.

With a strong foundation, a clear strategic roadmap, and ongoing investments in capacity, innovation, and sustainability, we are well-positioned to deliver profitable growth and further strengthen our global footprint in the years ahead.”
