The ceramic and porcelain tableware market is projected to grow from USD 6.7 billion in 2023 to USD 8.1 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2023 to 2028.

“Bone China material to be the second fastest growing material during the forecast period.”

Bone china is a type of porcelain used in the manufacturing of tableware products. It is known for its delicate appearance, lightweight feel, and superior quality. Bone china tableware is manufactured using a combination of clay, feldspar, quartz, and bone ash. Kaolin clay, with its fine particle size and high plasticity, forms the base material, providing the necessary malleability for shaping the tableware. Feldspar, a group of minerals, acts as a fluxing agent, reducing the clay's melting point and facilitating the fusion of its components during firing. This addition enhances the translucency and whiteness of bone china. Quartz, another crucial ingredient, imparts strength and stability to the final product, making it more resistant to breakage.
