The Scale & Development Trend of China's Construction Stone Market in 2020

The Scale & Development Trend of Chinese Construction Stone Market in 2020 will be showed as below .

1. Classification of Building Stone

Building stone refers to the natural stone mainly used for masonry or decoration of construction projects. The definition of building stone can be understood from the explanation in CNS11318/A1041 natural stone vocabulary for building. The explanation is as follows: the natural stone for building is selected, cut or sawn into a specific or prescribed shape and size, and the surface of the building stone Or multi-faces can be polished by machine, or there is no surface modification at all. In addition to the above definitions, building stone materials must have sufficient strength and workability before they can be widely used in the construction industry.

2. Analysis of the status quo of the development of the building stone industry

According to the data of the "Research on China's Construction Stone Industry Market Status and Investment Opportunity Forecast Report for 2021-2027" released by Zhiyan Consulting, the number of enterprises above designated size in China's construction stone industry is generally on the decline. In the first quarter of 2020, the number of enterprises above designated size in China's construction stone industry The number was 2,632, a decrease of 4.2% year-on-year.

In recent years, the output of marble slabs and granite slabs has been declining year by year. According to data from China Stone Materials Association, in the first quarter of 2020, the output of marble slabs by Chinese enterprises above designated size was 61 million square meters; the output of granite slabs by Chinese enterprises above designated size was 66 million square meters.

According to China Customs data, the export volume of Chinese marble, travertine and other limestone monuments or construction stones in 2019 was 61,662,243 kilograms, and the export value was 15,189,072 US dollars; Chinese marble, travertine and other limestone monuments or construction stones The import quantity is 7322363138 kilograms, and the import amount is US$1600002913.

According to China Customs data, in 2019, China’s export volume of granite, porphyry, basalt, sandstone and other monumental or construction stones was 4,730,61,147 kilograms, and the export value was 2,640,020 U.S. dollars; Chinese granite, porphyry, basalt, sandstone, and others The quantity of imported stone for monument or construction is 6,203,301,737 kilograms, and the import value is 1,004,999,854 US dollars.

In 2019, the demand for construction stone in China was 650 million square meters, a year-on-year increase of 6.6%; in 2020, affected by the epidemic and real estate, the demand has declined. It is estimated that the demand for China's construction stone market in 2020 will be 560 million square meters.

With the support of national policies and the integrated development of home improvement in the construction industry, the growth of China's construction stone industry will be further activated, and the overall market size will be on the rise. Affected by the epidemic in 2020, the size of China's construction stone market is expected to be CNY 1.150 billion, year-on-year A decrease of 9.6%.

3. Analysis of the development trend of China's construction stone

With the continuous development of China's construction stone industry, stone standardization will rise to a strategic level, and the improvement of people's living standards will gradually increase the requirements for construction stone. It is foreseeable that the growth of construction stone will be further activated against the trend.

With the development of integrated home improvement in China's construction industry, the overall home improvement will become an important traffic entry for the stone industry, promoting horizontal integration across industries.

As a perfect substitute for stone materials, the ceramic wall panel and ceramic building components like ceramic decorative art lines, ceramic carving board, ceramic cornice line, ceramic window cover possess almost the same features of nature stone, like higher strength, excellent fire proof, excellent sound proof, free maintenance, but with much light weight and much competitive price. I am sure, the ceramic wall panel and related products will be accepted better and better in the following days.
