Scale enterprise development, stable profit growth is lower than income growth
In the first half of 2016, stone enterprises above designated size maintained a stable development trend. The output of plates and sales revenues increased to varying degrees.

From the perspective of imported varieties and countries, the number of marble blocks imported from Turkey and Iran increased by 19.9% ​​and 19.2% respectively, and the amount of granite blocks imported from Brazil increased by 35% year-on-year. The number of high-end stone imported from Italy has only decreased by 4.3%; in terms of products, the import volume of artificial stone increased by 7.5% year-on-year, of which, in the second quarter, it increased by 43.4%. It can be seen that the market demand for imported stone, especially high-quality stone, is gradually recovering.
From the perspective of import customs, the proportion of imported stone from Xiamen and Guangzhou customs areas reached 82.6%, 4.1 percentage points higher than the previous year. In the five major import customs areas, the import volume of Shanghai, Shenzhen and Tianjin customs areas decreased by 24%, 17.1% and 12.4% respectively due to the relocation of enterprises and market factors.

However, from the sharp drop in the average export price to North America, it can be seen that the US market is highly competitive, and many exporters compete for orders by lowering prices.
The pace of industrial transformation and upgrading has accelerated. Under the dual pressures of environmental protection and market, the two-pole division of enterprises has become increasingly serious. A large number of enterprises with unsatisfactory environmental protection and unfavorable market development have been shut down, backward production capacity has been accelerated, and the market environment has been purified to a certain extent. .
The establishment of Nan'an Stone Foreign Trade and Economic Association marks the acceleration of the transformation and upgrading of foreign trade enterprises. As the largest stone industry cluster in China, Nanan has once again been at the forefront of the industry.
The trend of industry development is more obvious, and young and middle-aged entrepreneurs have become the main promoters and practitioners of the industry's transformation and upgrading. Shishanban and Qingshihui, Yunfu Stone Chamber of Commerce, Nantong Stone Association and other industry groups led by young and middle-aged entrepreneurs have become the backbone of the industry's transformation and upgrading. The exchanges and cooperation among young entrepreneurs have become a new trend in the development of the industry.
Under the leadership of the China Stone Association, the industry's "13th Five-Year" development plan has been discussed twice and will be completed within the year. The “13th Five-Year” development plan for the stone industry in Hubei Province has also been finalized. Under the continuous advocacy of the China Stone Association, the emerging stone industry clusters have basically achieved planning and prioritized their own development orientation.
With the "Stone Industry Clean Production Technical Specifications", "Stone Industry Park Construction Standards" and "Natural Stone Mine Management Regulations" and other series of stone association specifications have been issued, as well as the production of artificial stone and other related products standards, design and application specifications The start of the stone standard system is getting better and better. To provide a basis and guarantee for further standardizing the development of the industry and supporting the development of the industry.
The layout of the stone industry has been continuously optimized. With the large-scale external migration of stone enterprises such as Beijing and Shanghai, the layout of the stone industry has also quietly changed. Around Beijing, a distribution center with Tianjin as the center and Langfang, Tangshan and Zhangzhou will be formed. Shandong Pingyi, Jiangsu Nantong has become an emerging ground for industrial transformation and upgrading. Investment in the Northeast (Liaoning Tieling) International Stone Industrial Park and Yunfu Zhongyun Stone Industrial City is also taking place nationwide. The status of the central and western stone distribution centers with Chengdu, Wuhan and Chongqing as the core is increasingly consolidated.
Specialized development and differentiated competition have become the inevitable choice for the survival and development of enterprises. Leading companies in the two major industries of Gaoshi and Global have entered the field of high-end artificial stone. Yingliang continues to lead the rare stone market with the brand and culture of No.5 warehouse, and to create the transformation of stone from materials to products, art and then to culture.
Due to the long-term large amount of advances in public housing projects, the slow return of funds and the uncertain proportion of payment, many companies have become more cautious in undertaking public housing projects. In contrast, the home improvement market is favored by more and more powerful enterprises. Relying on the integration of professional design and construction services, many stone brand flagship stores are expanding rapidly throughout the country, and stone is getting closer to the end consumers. A group of innovative companies have stood out and achieved gratifying results, playing a leading and demonstrating role in the transformation and upgrading of the industry and entering the home improvement market.
Take Fujian Santou Company as an example. The company has a team of 50 designers and professional design and construction qualifications. Their home improvement market is positioned as a high-end villa. With first-class products, craftsmanship and high-quality design, installation and after-sales integration services, they have seized the market opportunity and won the trust of customers. At present, their customers are all over the country and have a good reputation and market influence in Southeast Asia. In recent years, company orders have continued to grow by more than 50% annually.
As a leading company in China's stone industry, Gao Shi Group has opened more than 20 experience halls in the large building materials market such as Hongxing Meikailong in Shanghai, Chongqing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang since 2013. Zongyi Stone launched the Casvino brand stone brick in 2012, and has formed 8 series of hundreds of stone thin plate composite supporting products. It has established brand stores in more than 30 key cities across the country, and realized the stone through the network. + Internet sales model. The Masa Di Stone Brick of Guangdong Yuanjing Stone and the natural marble home furnishing brand Lapure of Zunzun Building Materials have become influential high-end brands in the industry. In addition, the contrarian growth of marble imported blocks and domestically featured marble varieties indicates that the home improvement market for stone is expanding. Deep processing products such as stone (jade) background walls, ground parquet and countertops are increasingly entering the homes of ordinary people.
Shanghai Jianrui, Foshan Huigu, Yunfu Kete and other equipment companies achieved sales growth in the sluggish market with good product quality and new product research and development.
