January alone witnessed the export value of the products gross US$33.45 million, representing a rise of 33.6% compared to December 2021, and an annual increase of 35.6%.
The nine-day Lunar New Year holiday that ended on February 6 impacted the operation of businesses. Businesses shipped ceramics overseas worth US$15 million in February, a decline of 55.2% against January and a drop of 9.3% year on year.
By the end of this year the export of fine art ceramics is forecast to rise by 20% to 25% in comparison to figures recorded last year.

Vietnam is home to famous ceramic villages which offer a variety of products and sophisticated processing techniques, with local exporters expected to take these advantages to push for greater exports of local ceramics globally.
