Position of the glass and ceramic industry in the Czech Republic
Homepage / Annual Report / Annual Report 2010 / Position of the glass and ceramic industry in the Czech RepublicThe glass and ceramic industry is a traditional part of the processing industry in the Czech Republic.
The glass and ceramic industry is classified in the subcategory Production of other non-metallic mineral products according to the Classification of Economic Activities (NACE) used by the European Union.
The CZ-NACE 23 Production of other non-metallic mineral products put together productions of glass, ceramics and building materials of various types and utilization. Production of these commodities has a long tradition and a high level in the Czech Republic.
Classification of CZ-NACE activities is the following:
- 23.1 Production of glass and glass products
- 23.2 Production of non-refractory ceramic
- 23.3 Production of building materials from clay materials
- 23.4 Production of other china and ceramic products
- 23.5 Production of cement, lime and plaster
- 23.6 Production of concrete, cement and plaster products
- 23.7 Cutting, shaping and finishing of stones
- 23.9 Production of abrasive materials and other non-metallic mineral products not stated elsewhere
Sections 23.1 and 23.4 representing the production of glass, glass products and production of other china and ceramic products are a subject of evaluation of this Annual Report.
In the following tables the revenues, export, import and the balance of foreign trade of individual subcategories of the processing industry and their share within the Czech processing industry in 2010, are given. The revenues from the sale of the own products and services of industrial character (hereinafter revenues), export, import and the balance of foreign trade are given in current prices.
The total volume of revenues of the processing industry in the Czech Republic reached a value of 2550.58 bill. CZK in 2010 (in 2009 it was 2265.64 bill. CZK). The revenues of the processing industry increased by 12.58 % in comparison with previous year. The category Production of other non-metallic mineral products with revenues in amount of 91.36 bill.

Structure of import of the processing industry subcategories in 2010

From the above given table and graphs the significant position of the Production of other non-metallic mineral products is obvious from the point of view of its contribution to active balance of foreign trade of the Czech processing industry. This industry with its active balance in amount of 21.58 bill. CZK ranks among six subcategories of the processing industry showing active balance of foreign trade.
Glass and ceramic industry
In the following Chapter “Development of the glass and ceramic industry in the period from 2005 till 2010”, the glass and ceramic industry as a part of the Czech processing industry, which corresponds to the characteristic orientation of organizations activities included in the Association, is studied and described in more details and in group division. For understanding the relations among the processing industry, production of other non-metallic mineral products and glass and ceramic industry an informative table is given further on.
