Chaozhou Inlaid Porcelain, a nationally recognized intangible cultural heritage (ICH) of China, integrates artistic value with functional adaptability. However, its sustainability is undermined by high production costs, limited market demand, and weakening intergenerational transmission. Based on dynamic adaptation theory, this study systematically explores the inheritance and innovative evolution of Inlaid Porcelain. It aims to examine the feasibility of adapting the craft to modern societal needs and provides theoretical and practical references for the sustainable development of ICH. Employing a mixed-method approach, this study integrates SWOT analysis and case studies to delineate the dynamic adaptation pathways of Inlaid Porcelain across technological advancement, functional development, market positioning, education, and dissemination. The results suggest that Inlaid Porcelain possesses strong potential to meet modern aesthetic and functional expectations. This study highlights that ICH crafts can enhance cultural, economic, and social benefits by expanding their functions and adopting market-driven approaches. Yet, limited societal recognition and public engagement constrain its dynamic adaptation. This study proposes a systematic feedback mechanism integrating policy, market, and heritage transmission to enhance adaptive development. Furthermore, by developing a dynamic adaptation model, this research offers a practical framework for safeguarding and revitalizing traditional crafts, ultimately supporting the sustainable integration of cultural, economic, and social development.
