Severe storms and hail in Asunción and the Central Department of Paraguay have caused a surge in demand for construction materials, specifically ceramic roof tiles, to repair weather-damaged properties.

Initially, distributors and manufacturers struggled to meet the sudden need, with reports of ceramic factories exhausting inventories and delivery delays ranging from 8 to 15 days. Concerns were raised that a prolonged rainy season might further hinder production at pottery workshops and ceramic factories.

Subsequently, the Paraguayan Chamber of the Ceramic Industry indicated that while factories possess the capacity to meet demand, the physical requirements of the production process—such as molding, drying, and firing—prevent an immediate increase in inventory. The industry expects supply to normalize within five to seven days.
