Attracted by the hot market, some big companies from other sectors in Bangladesh are also entering the ceramics industry. For example, Meghna Group, a local consumer goods company, Akij Group, a former tobacco giant, and Pran-RFL, a plastics company, are investing Tk 5 billion in the cross-border ceramic tile industry.

The industry meets about 86.53% of the demand for tableware, 59.77% of the demand for sanitary ware and 86.74% of the demand for local tiles.

However, gas prices have increased by nearly 400% in the last 10 years and gas costs account for 20-22% of total local factory costs. Limited by the country’s development, local demand in Bangladesh has reached 85%, and domestic and foreign competition has become more intense.

Currently, there are about 20 local companies exporting, and the industry as a whole generates over $40.35 million in annual exports, with a value-added of 65%. With limited production, it will also be a difficult task for Bangladesh to compete in the global market.

According to newagebd, due to the ongoing gas crisis, Bangladesh’s pottery industry production fell 40%, and most companies’ performance decline.

Bangladesh Ceramic Manufacturers and Exporters Association President and Managing Director of China Bangladesh Ceramic Industry Limited Shirajul Islam Mollah in an interview with the local media pointed out: “Due to the gas supply crisis, Bangladesh factories daily downtime up to 12 hours, production is severely reduced, while production costs are still increasing. On the other hand, ensuring product quality consistency has become difficult due to the lack of gas supply.” He stressed, “If the situation continues to deteriorate, local companies will need to lay off employees to adapt to the environment.”
