Ceramics industry in Bangladesh

In the first nine months of the 2013-14 fiscal year, Bangladesh exported about US$36 million worth of goods after meeting 80% of the domestic demand.

Owned by Tajma Ceramic Industries, it was a small manufacturing plant for porcelain tableware.

The largest export destinations are the United States, Italy, Spain, France, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Australia and Sweden.

However, the low labour costs of the local manufacturers has put Bangladesh in a strong position.
