The UK ceramics industry.

Ceramics are hidden in plain sight.

From the homes we live in to the technologies that power modern life, ceramics are essential to everyday life yet often go unnoticed.

The UK ceramics industry is a diverse, innovative manufacturing sector whose products support construction, healthcare, defence, energy, transport, electronics and many other markets. Ceramics also enable many of the UK's foundation industries, providing the specialist materials that keep sectors such as steel, glass, cement and chemicals operating.

Our members produce everything from traditional clay products to advanced technical ceramics, driving innovation, supporting skilled jobs and strengthening UK manufacturing. Together, they help deliver the technologies, infrastructure and materials needed for a resilient, sustainable and prosperous future.
