Dear Ms. Endaya:

Please be informed that you request for data on market share is not available at this Commission.  The only data that we have are Philippine Statistics Authority data on imports and exports of said products.  Since they are the authority on such data, we suggest that your request from them.  It will help them supply to you these data if you can quote the 2012 ASEAN Harmonized Tariff Nomenclature (AHTN) Codes as follows:

Floor and Wall tiles:  6907.10.10; 6907.90.10; 6908.10.10; 6908.90.11; 6908.90.91

Sanitary Wares:  6912.00.00

It may also help you in the preparation of your report if you could read the Commission's reports on the anti-dumping cases filed by the industry on the importation of ceramic tiles.  It is posted at our website at www.tariffcommission.gov.ph.

Thank you
