The ceramic industry is a “sunrise industry” in China

In recent years, great changes have taken place in the Chinese ceramics industry. Although the output ranks first in the world for 10 consecutive years, the gap between the level of the advanced countries is still relatively large, and at best, it can only be a “processing center” and there is still a “world manufacturing center”. After a considerable distance, after joining the WTO, Chinese companies will face more cruel and fierce competition. After the reduction of tariffs, they will face more and more complex non-tariff barriers, that is, technical barriers.

China's architectural ceramics are facing a severe and severe test. Specifically, in the ceramic industry chain, research and development, purchase, production, sales, and service, research and development, design, and sales (export) are currently at the top of the value. This is precisely The weakness of domestic construction ceramics enterprises; China's architectural ceramics lacks brand-name products with independent intellectual property rights; it not only affects the status of China's architectural sanitary ceramics in the world; most Chinese building ceramics enterprises lack scientific and strict management in production due to the environment. The serious pollution and high production costs have also seriously affected the economic benefits of the company.

However, on the other hand, in the future of China's architectural ceramics industry, the strong market demand will still require the stable development of China's ceramics industry. In the long run, investment in real estate development will continue to grow. According to incomplete statistics, in recent years only towns The annual investment in real estate development exceeds 300 billion yuan, and the area of ​​completed housing is 150 million square meters. With the gradual improvement of living conditions in rural areas, the demand for ceramics will remain at a very high level. In the next ten or even two decades, the strong demand in China's domestic market will still ensure the stable development of China's ceramic industry.

Industry Development In recent years, the construction of ceramics has shifted from high-grade ceramic producing areas such as East China and Foshan to the whole country; high-quality building ceramic enterprises have accelerated the industrial regional distribution through industrial relocation; at the same time, the transfer of high-quality ceramic companies has also driven new ceramic production areas. From low-grade pottery production to high-grade pottery production upgrades. The transfer, expansion, and relocation of architectural ceramics throughout the country have also contributed to the development of the nationwide ceramic industry.

From the perspective of the entire industry of architectural ceramics, the market space is still large. Although the architectural ceramics industry is already a “sunset industry” in Europe and the United States, it is still a “sunrise industry” in China and there will be great development. The U.S. financial tsunami has had an impact on China's ceramic industry, but it is not as big as it is supposed to be, nor is it so terrible. China's ceramic industry has the ability to easily overcome this economic disaster. With the further improvement of the development environment of China's building ceramics industry, the industry as a whole will be further improved.
