Since it became the world's largest stone producer, exporter and consumer in 2005, China's stone industry has maintained rapid growth for eight consecutive years, accounting for nearly 20% of global stone processing and production. China's stone industry is becoming a hot spot in the world market and continues to drive the development of the global stone industry.

According to the latest statistics, from January to May 2012, the output of natural marble building panels reached 42.618 million square meters, up 23.21% year-on-year; the output of natural granite building boards nationwide reached 15334.46 million square meters, up 35.54% year-on-year. .

Leading the way: the focus of the global stone industry shift

As one of the global sunrise industries, the stone industry has developed rapidly in recent years. Since 1990, the global stone production volume and trade volume have increased by 7.3% and 9.2% respectively, and the development rate of the whole industry is obviously faster than other industries. Some experts predict that the annual output value of the global stone industry in 2015 will exceed 300 billion US dollars.

Global integration has promoted the development of China's stone industry. As a member of the world stone industry, China has completely surpassed the traditional stone powers Italy and Spain since 2005 and has become the world's largest stone production, consumption and exporting country. At present, many international customers who purchase stone from Italy, Turkey, Brazil and other countries have turned to China, and China's stone market share in the international stone market is increasing.

Under the background of economic and social development, China's stone industry is welcoming a new round of development under the impetus of urbanization, national investment, and consumer consumption. According to the statistics of relevant departments, in 2011, the main business income of stone enterprises above designated size reached 241.4 billion yuan, an increase of 20.6% over the previous year. The total volume and quantity of stone imports and exports also achieved substantial growth.

Industry experts believe that the world stone production and trade center has moved from the traditional European region to Asia in China.

Market: Stone application is very extensive

As a building material product, stone has a considerable proportion in the global building materials output, and this proportion will continue to expand in the next 10 to 15 years.

According to industry insiders, as a typical mineral resource, stone is divided into marble, granite, sandstone and other categories, with thousands of varieties, because of its scarcity, environmental protection, natural and high quality, it has been global. The first choice for large-scale public construction projects, medium and high-end buildings, and home decoration.

Large public construction projects are one of the main markets for stone. The urban roads, plazas, parks, airports, subways and other projects under construction in the world all use a large number of stone materials, providing a broad development opportunity for stone enterprises.

Medium and high-end stone products are mainly used in high-end real estate projects. Common star hotels, high-end clubs, villas, and high-end communities all need to use a large number of different types of stone products for interior and exterior decoration. Especially in the United States, Germany, Italy, Spain and other traditional stone consumer countries, due to their architectural style, living traditions, environmental protection and other factors, a large number of high-end stone products are being used.

With the improvement of living and living standards, the proportion of stone used in the floor, cabinets and walls of home decoration is also increasing. Taking China as an example, according to the statistics of relevant departments, the stone application in the home improvement market has accounted for 20% of the total consumption, and in some high-end residences it has reached 30% to 40%, which has also driven the unprecedented prosperity of the world stone market.

Demand: the stone industry is unprecedentedly hot

Statistics show that in recent years, China's stone industry's foreign trade has maintained a high growth trend. Guangdong Yunfu and Fujian Nan'an are the two major stone export bases in China, accounting for more than 15% of the global stone trade volume. With the intensification of the European debt crisis, stone consumption in developed countries such as Europe and the United States will be more dependent on Chinese stone.

Some experts pointed out that China's stone products have occupied a pivotal position in the international market. In Japan, South Korea, the United States, Germany, the Netherlands and other places, a large number of imported stone is dependent on China; in France, Britain, Italy, Spain and the traditional consumption areas of the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other stone, the Chinese stone share has reached a considerable The proportion is increasing steadily.

At present, the construction of cities across China is surging, and the demand for stone products has remained high. For a long period of time, the overall trend of investment and construction scale of each city will be expanded, and the urbanization process will continue to accelerate. A large number of urban infrastructure construction, housing construction, and fixed asset investment construction will form a huge demand for stone products. It also brings unprecedented opportunities for the development of China's stone industry.

It is understood that at present, stone has a sales volume of 400 million square meters in our country's equipment market, and the sales of ceramic tiles as a substitute product still reaches 300 billion yuan. There is still huge market space for stone products. Nowadays, some domestic stone enterprises are fully involved in the home improvement market, sharing huge market cakes through product standardization, standardization and experiential marketing.
