Abstract: One Belt and One Road Initiative has profound significance, which will lead to a new round of China’s economic globalization strategy, promote the advantage of production capacity cooperation, and extend the industrial value chain. At the same time, One Belt and One Road Initiative also will bring important opportunities and challenges. Chinese ceramic tile industry has achieved extraordinary success and rapid rise with a huge domestic market and manufacturing advantages. The production of ceramic tile accounted for half of the world, the international market share increased significantly, the exports ranked first in the world, and a large number of ceramic tile production area rose. However, as a traditional industry with high dependence on energy and mineral resources, how to achieve sustainable development and solve the problem of overcapacity is a question worthy of further study in the background of national economic development into the new normal. To make a breakthrough in ceramic tile industry development under One Belt and One Road Initiative, the paper suggests that the regions and enterprises of Chinese ceramic tile industry should deal with the relationship between “facing the world” and “overcapacity”, change old ideas, promote the output of products and technologies, and build a new industrial chain, so as to provide new impetus for the sustainable development of the ceramic tile industry.

Key words: One Belt and One Road Initiative, ceramic tile industry, facing the world, industry development
