Introduction of global advanced ceramic industry companies - Japan

2021-04-16

Japan is the world's largest producer of advanced ceramics, with a 42% increase in production by 2000 and a 74% increase by 2005. In 2000, the output value of the Japanese ceramic industry accounted for 50% of the entire Japanese traditional industry. Compared with the United States, Japan's advanced ceramics is second to none in the field of functional ceramics, and has a strong competitive advantage in the research and application of structural ceramics and ceramic powder.
