Analysing the Current Development of China's Stone Industry

In the past two or three decades, the international stone industry has developed rapidly. Since 1990, global stone production and trade volume have grown at a rate of 7.3% and 9.2% each year, which is higher than other industries. The development of the entire stone industry is obviously faster than the development of the global economy. Before the founding of New China, China did not have a stone industry. After the founding of New China, the Chinese stone industry began to take off.

China's stone production is mainly distributed in the south of Fujian Province, Guangdong Province, Shandong Province, the eastern province of three stone production provinces, of which Fujian and Shandong for the production and processing of large provinces, and Guangdong mainly engaged in the processing of imported stone, the above three provinces accounted for The 85% production of Chinese stone products is mainly marble and granite products.

The internal consumption of Chinese stone is mainly divided into three major parts, namely, the interior and exterior decorative plates used in construction, which is the largest part of the use of stone; followed by building stone, including gardens, engineering stone; then stone carving, stone art , tombstone stone products and so on. The use of building decoration stone is the most.

The prosperity of the Chinese stone market and the increase in demand for stone products have led international stone merchants to invest in China. Domestic stone companies also integrate resources and actively participate in the competition in the domestic stone market. The Chinese stone market is moving toward the international stone market center. The Chinese stone market has become an indispensable and important force in the international stone market. In the near future, the World Stone Production and Trade Center will shift from Europe to China in Asia.

Due to the market demand, the development of China's stone industry is growing at a double-digit rate each year. In the next few years, the domestic stone consumption demand will remain strong, and the development speed will remain at double digits. After 2010, the development speed of Chinese stone will slow down, but the annual growth rate of stone production will remain at about 10% to 15%.
