Chairman of the Indonesian Ceramic Industry Association (ASAKI) Elisa Sinaga stated that there is a large co-relation between growth of the Indonesian property sector and expansion of the nation's ceramic industry as almost every house uses some sort of ceramic product.

Indonesia is the world's sixth largest ceramics producing country after China, Italy, Spain, Turkey and Brazil. Currently, there are 35 ceramics producers in Indonesia with a total of 80 factories, providing employment opportunities to about 200,000 people. In 2013, Indonesia had a ceramic production capacity of 1.4 million m2 per day.
