Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita targets the national ceramic industry to break into the ranks of the world's top four producers by 2026. This target is supported by an installed production capacity that has reached 650 million square meters per year and the employment of 150,000 people. The government is committed to strengthening the sector's competitiveness through strategic policies such as Specific Natural Gas Prices (HGBT) and domestic market protection via safeguard instruments. With a strong structure based on local resources, the ceramic industry is optimistic about meeting the surge in demand from the rapidly growing property and construction sectors.
For industry players and association members, market expansion opportunities remain wide open alongside government programs like the three million houses project and the "Gentengisasi" initiative. The transformation toward a green industry and the implementation of digital printing technology are key to creating innovative and globally competitive products. The government also continues to coordinate to overcome raw material constraints to maintain business optimism in increasing national productivity sustainably. Strong synergy between the government and associations is expected to realize Indonesia's vision as a high-quality ceramic production hub recognized internationally.
