Disclosed is a method for producing potassium titanate which is suitable as a friction material for a friction slide member. Also disclosed is a friction material. Specifically disclosed is a method for producing potassium titanate, which comprises the steps of: mixing an aggregate or granule of a titanium compound with an aggregate or granule of a potassium compound homogeneously in a vibration rod mill to produce a mixture; and burning the mixture to cause the reaction between the titanium compound with the potassium compound to produce potassium titanate. The method can produce potassium titanate in a simple manner and at low cost.
