Analysis of the Economic Situation of the Stone Industry in 2015

In 2015 , the demand growth in the domestic market further slowed down. The increase in domestic stone production continued to fall, and the operating rate of enterprises was severely deficient. The growth rate of main business income and costs continued to decline, and the loss of enterprises continued to expand; the main business profit and total profit growth rebounded. First, the product structure adjustment achieved initial results; investment growth increased steadily, industry transformation and upgrading progressed steadily; differentiated competition, Baotuan development became common; corporate inventory pressure, funding pressures continued to increase, stone imports dropped sharply, the lowest record in five years; The proportion of deep-processing and high-value-added products in exports continued to increase, and the export volume of stone products continued to grow rapidly, setting a record high.

Sheet production

In 2015 , the growth rate of sheet metal production continued to drop. The output of marble plates above designated size was 350 million square meters, which was 11.5% higher than the same period of last year , and the growth rate was 5.7 percentage points lower than the previous year . The output of granite plates above designated size was 670 million square meters. The growth rate of rice is 9.7% from the same period of last year , and the growth rate has dropped by 3.7 percentage points from the previous year .
From a regional point of view, the increase in the output of marble plates in the east and west regions has rapidly declined, but the overall yield distribution in the eastern, central and western regions has been more balanced. The growth rate of granite plate production in the central and western regions has dropped significantly, while that in the eastern region has only slightly declined, and the proportion has also increased.
