The 15th Xiamen International Stone Exhibition in 2015 showed the world the latest development of the stone industry, and also predicted the development trend of the stone industry this year in the form of a white paper for the first time. On March 8, the China Stone Association released the Report on the Development of China's Stone Industry (2015) and the white paper of China's stone industry in 2015 at Xiamen International Convention and Exhibition Center.
Chen Guoqing, president of China Stone Association, said that the purpose of jointly releasing this industry report to the whole industry is to enable stone enterprises to recognize the development situation of the industry, achieve better economic benefits and make the stone industry develop healthily. At the same time, it is hoped that this industry report will serve as a reference for financial institutions and investors.
Since China became the largest stone producer, exporter and consumer in the world in 2005, the stone industry has maintained rapid growth for eight consecutive years, continuously driving the development of the global stone industry and becoming a hot spot in the world market. The development of China's stone industry has become a barometer of the world's stone industry. Under the background that the domestic stone industry has begun to enter a deep transformation period, this white paper, China Stone Industry Development Report, prepared by the China Stone Association, has also become the focus of the industry.
According to the white paper, the main business income of stone enterprises above designated size in 2014 totaled 398 billion yuan, an increase of 12.7% over the same period of the previous year, and 8.9 percentage points lower than the growth rate of the previous year; The total profit was 32.8 billion yuan, an increase of 4.3% over the same period of last year, and a decrease of 23.9 percentage points over the same period of last year.
"Due to the international situation, the growth rate of market demand slowed down in 2014, and the cost advantage of enterprises in export is gradually weakening. It is an urgent task for stone enterprises to adapt to changes in domestic market demand." In 2014, from the regional perspective, the output of stone enterprises above designated size in the central and western regions in terms of marble plates and granite plates was 3.9 and 8.3 percentage points higher than that in the eastern regions respectively. This shows that the stone industry in the central and western regions has begun to rise, which also means that Chinese stone enterprises should focus on the development trend of industrial transfer, industrial transformation and industrial upgrading, and at the same time transform from the tooling market driven by investment to the home decoration market driven by consumption.
At the same time, the white paper also predicted the great development of China's stone industry in 2015, saying that the transformation and upgrading of enterprises will be further accelerated, the stone industry will still maintain steady growth, and the growth rate will fall back. It is estimated that the output, main business income and profit of stone enterprises above designated size in China will increase by about 10% over the previous year; With more investment in the stone industry and the upgrading of existing enterprises, the processing investment will continue to grow rapidly; The import and export of stone will also continue to grow by about 3%.
