These lightweight tiles are used in the interior of buildings, placed in an aluminum grid for the primary purpose of enhancing the acoustics of a room, besides providing thermal insulation. Owing to the product classification, primary raw materials such as mineral fiber, gypsum and metals are used in the production of these materials.

Ceilings tiles are majorly used in the construction industry, which is further bifurcated into commercial, residential, and industrial applications. The primary components of suspended acoustic ceilings are acoustical and suspension grid panels, where the composition of each varies depending upon the end-use application. Based on their uses, ceiling tiles are widely applied in hotels, offices, transportation terminals, retail stores, hospitals as suspension, building perimeter and drywall grid systems.

Rise in construction activities has been has been one of the major growth factors for the ceiling tiles market.
