CERAMIC JAPAN Osaka

Ceramic Japan Osaka is an annual trade fair with a clear focus on the future of ceramic technology. As part of the prestigious Highly-Functional Material Week, it ranks among Asia’s most important industry gatherings for advanced materials. Organized by RX Japan Ltd., an internationally experienced trade fair operator, the event attracts professionals from around the world to INTEX Osaka – the largest exhibition and convention center in western Japan.

The spotlight is on applications of industrial high-performance ceramics, including technical, bio-ceramic, and nano-structured materials. The latter, with their ultra-fine nanometer-scale structures, open up new possibilities in terms of strength, heat resistance, and functionality. The exhibition targets not only manufacturers and developers from the ceramics sector but also companies from industries such as automotive, electronics, medical technology, mechanical engineering, and aerospace – all of which are actively seeking innovative materials.

On display are novel ceramic raw materials such as oxides, nitrides, and carbides, along with cutting-edge powder and coating technologies, as well as processes for material refinement, sintering, and forming. This is complemented by high-precision testing and measurement technologies, which are essential for quality assurance and material characterization. As a result, the trade fair offers a comprehensive overview of the entire development and manufacturing process for high-performance ceramic materials.

A distinctive feature of Ceramic Japan Osaka is its integration into the Highly-Functional Material Week, which brings together seven specialized exhibitions under one roof. This interdisciplinary setting fosters cross-industry synergies – for example, between ceramics, plastics, metals, electronic materials, and sustainable substances – and actively promotes innovation across technological boundaries.

The event is exclusively open to industry professionals. Decision-makers, developers, and researchers from companies, universities, and research institutions use the platform to initiate new collaborations and business relationships in a professional environment.

In addition to Osaka, Ceramic Japan is also held in Nagoya and Chiba (near Tokyo). This regional distribution facilitates access to different markets and broadens its reach across Japan – further proof of its central role in the country’s materials technology sector.

The venue, INTEX Osaka, is located on the artificial island of Yumeshima, in the economically vibrant Osaka Bay Area. It is easily accessible by public transport, from downtown Osaka, and from Kansai International Airport. As a leading industrial and technological hub, the city of Osaka provides the ideal setting for a trade fair dedicated to the key materials of tomorrow.

The CERAMIC JAPAN will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 14. May to Friday, 16. May 2025 in Osaka.
