Lumbini Ceramics, producer of Laminar and Cresta tiles, has rapidly gained market share in Nepal, now holding 25% of the tile market after just two years. This success is attributed to achieving Nepal Standard certification, which has significantly increased consumer trust in locally produced tiles. The certification has been a key factor in encouraging consumers to choose Nepali-made products over imported ones, supporting import substitution efforts within the country. This growth demonstrates the potential for domestic manufacturing to compete with foreign imports when quality standards are met and recognized. Lumbini Ceramics' success story highlights the positive impact of quality assurance on the Nepali economy. The company’s brands, Laminar and Cresta, are becoming increasingly popular with Nepali consumers. This shift in consumer preference benefits local production and reduces reliance on imported goods.
