Indonesian Ceramic Industry Demonstrates Resilience with 15% Production Growth

Recovery Driven by Government Support

The Indonesian ceramic industry has shown significant improvement in 2025, with production volumes reaching 62 million square meters, representing a 15% increase from the previous year. This growth is accompanied by an increase in capacity utilization rate from 66% in 2024 to 73% in 2025, according to data from ASAKI (Asosiasi Aneka Industri Keramik Indonesia).

Factors Contributing to Recovery

The recovery of the ceramic industry is largely attributed to supportive government policies. Key measures include the implementation of antidumping duties, safeguard policies for ceramic products, and the enforcement of mandatory SNI (Standar Nasional Indonesia) standards. These policies have been instrumental in maintaining the competitiveness of local manufacturers amidst global economic pressures.

Industry Outlook

The positive trend in the ceramic industry is significant as Indonesia remains the only country among major producers in Asia, Europe, and America that has achieved both increased capacity utilization and production capacity in 2025. This positions Indonesia's ceramic industry favorably in the global market, with potential for further growth supported by continued government backing and industry resilience.
