Market Overview

The China pottery ceramics market refers to the entire ecosystem involved in the production, trade, and consumption of pottery and ceramic goods in China, including traditional handcrafted items such as tableware, decorative artware, vases, and tiles, as well as modern industrial applications in construction and exports. Moreover, the pottery ceramic market is strongly rooted in cultural heritage and traditions. There are many rich histories of pottery manufacture, which adds to the desire for traditional ceramic products.  Consumers are increasingly drawn to pottery with cultural value, as these products frequently tell a story and connect them to their origins. Additionally, the pottery ceramic market is seeing a huge movement toward environmentally friendly product.  As customer awareness of the environment grows, they are more likely to buy ceramics that are sourced and manufactured responsibly.  Pottery made from natural materials and non-toxic glazes is becoming increasingly popular, reflecting this trend. China is the world's leading producer, with Asia Pacific accounting for more than 40% of the global market, due to advanced manufacturing hubs, skilled handcrafted communities in regions such as Jingdezhen, and strong export networks that supply tableware and decor to international markets.  Tableware is the largest segment, accounting for more than 78% of revenue due to significant domestic demand for inexpensive, durable household products, while artware increases the fastest with rising interest in cultural tourism, eco-friendly crafts, and pottery education programs.

Jingdezhen, branded China's "porcelain capital," is adopting modern innovations like artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain to preserve and update its 2,000-year-old ceramic skill.  The 2025 China Jingdezhen International Ceramic Expo showcased efforts that aim to incorporate AI into design, production, and sales processes, enabling artists and manufacturers to develop more efficiently while cutting costs.
