Ceramic Art Industry valued at $1.5 billion

China, the world's largest producer of ceramics, exports 2.2 billion ceramic works of art each year at a total value of $1.5 billion, a national trade association has confirmed.

More than 5 billion of the 27 billion ceramic products that the country produces each year are considered to be works of art, valued at nearly 50 billion Yuan ($7.82 billion), according to the China Ceramics Industrial Association (CCIA).

The ceramic artisan industry's production and exports both grow at an annual rate of approximately 10 percent, creating 300,000 jobs each year in the process.
