受国内外整体经济下行压力的影响，工艺美术业不管是国内产值，还是进出口贸易额均有所下降，并且未来还将面临较大的下行压力。但随着国家对文化产业的重视，随着“一带一路”进入黄金发展期，工艺美术文化间的交流更加频繁。就整体行业而言仍然面临着企业规模过小、过于分散，产品缺乏创新，品牌影响力弱等问题，需要加强与现代设计等其他行业的融合。
Under the downward pressure of the overall domestic and foreign economy，the arts and crafts industry，whether domestic output or import and export trade，has declined，and will face greater downward pressure in the future. However，as China attaches importance to the cultural industry，with “the Belt and Road” entering the golden period of development，the exchanges between arts and crafts culture are more frequent. As far as the whole industry is concerned，it still faces such problems as too small and too scattered enterprises，lack of innovation in products and weak brand influence. It is necessary to strengthen the integration with other industries such as modern design.
