The Ceramic Expo Bangladesh 2025 is set to begin on November 27 at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB), Kuril, Dhaka. The four-day international ceramic fair—one of Asia’s most prominent—is being organized by the Bangladesh Ceramic Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BCMEA). For the fourth time, this world-class exhibition on ceramic raw materials, machinery, and technology will feature participation from 300 brands representing 135 companies from 25 countries, including Bangladesh. In addition, 500 international delegates and buyers will join the event. The expo will also include three seminars, a job fair, B2B and B2C meetings, raffle draws, attractive gifts, live demonstrations, spot orders, and opportunities for launching new products. At a press conference held today, November 23, the Dhaka Reporters Unity auditorium in the capital, BCMEA President Moynul Islam shared these details. In addition, Fair Committee Chairman and BCMEA General Secretary Irfan Uddin spoke, highlighting various aspects of the expo. Also present at the event were BCMEA Senior Vice President Md. Mamunur Rashid, FCMA; Senior Vice President Abdul Hakim Suman; Vice President Rasheed Mymunul Islam; and Director Mohd. Ziaul Hoque Zico. The press conference announced that on November 27, the expo will be formally inaugurated at the ICCB by Commerce Adviser Sheikh Bashiruddin. In addition, on November 29, Foreign Affairs Adviser Mohammad Touhid Hossain will attend a special segment of the expo as the chief guest. BCMEA President Moynul Islam said that more than 70 ceramic tableware, tiles, and sanitary ware factories have already been established in the country. The annual sales volume in the local market is approximately Tk 8,000 crore. Over the past ten years, production and investment in the ceramic sector have grown by nearly 150 percent. Bangladesh exports ceramic products to more than 50 countries worldwide, earning around Tk 500 crore annually. Export earnings in this sector are increasing, as is investment. Many countries, including major ceramic-producing nations such as China and India, have shown interest in investing here. The sector has attracted investments of over Tk 18,000 crore, and it directly and indirectly provides employment to nearly five lakh people. Fair Committee Chairman and BCMEA General Secretary Irfan Uddin said that due to superior quality and attractive designs, the demand for Bangladesh-made ceramic products is increasing in the global market. Not only that, new markets are also emerging. He added that Ceramic Expo Bangladesh 2025 is the country’s fourth and Asia’s largest international exhibition of its kind. Ceramic manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers are getting the opportunity to showcase their new products, modern technologies, and expertise to a global audience. Along with marketing domestic ceramic products, the expo will also help raise awareness about their use. Irfan Uddin said that they believe the use of technology in the ceramic industry will completely transform its future. Through automation, advanced digital printing, robotic handling, and high-quality production lines, manufacturing will become faster, more precise, and more cost-effective. He added that smart tiles and sensor-integrated products are gaining popularity worldwide, and this trend will soon influence the Bangladeshi market as well. The expo, he noted, will create a vital link between these technologies and local manufacturers. The four-day exhibition will remain open to visitors, buyers, and participants free of charge every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sheltech Ceramics is the principal sponsor of the fair, while DBL Ceramics, Akij Ceramics, and Meghna Ceramic are the platinum sponsors. In addition, the gold sponsors include Mir Ceramic, Abul Khair Ceramic, HLT DLT, and Sacmi. Written by Tasmia Chowdhury
