1. Global Stone Production In recent years, global stone production has maintained a continuous growth trend. According to data released by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, global stone production in 2014 was 136.5 million tons, up 5% year-on-year; by volume, it was 103.5 million square meters, up 3.85% year-on-year; if calculated according to 2cm standard thickness, the output is equivalent 1.5 billion m2.
In the future, global stone production will be more and more concentrated in a few countries, including China, India, Turkey, Brazil, Italy and Spain. The output of the top ten stone countries accounts for about 83% of the world's total output. 2. Global Stone Consumption In terms of consumption, in recent years, with the rapid development of the global construction industry, stone consumption has also shown an upward trend. In 2014, the global consumption of thousands of stone people was about 237 m2. According to the population of 7.1 billion in the current year, the global stone consumption reached 1.683 billion m2, exceeding the current output of 1.5 billion m2. From the perspective of stone consumers, Switzerland, Belgium, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan rank among the top four, with more than 1,000 m2. Second, the Italian stone market situation 1, Italian stone production Italy has always been a country rich in stone, known as the "stone kingdom", regardless of output, import and export volume has long been ranked first in the world. Since 2007, its stone production growth rate has been consistent with global growth rates. In addition, the Italian marble brand has a vast marble production area, and has become a leader in the marble industry in the course of more than 50 years of development.
2. Italian stone consumption From the perspective of the consumption of thousands of people, the consumption of natural stone in Italy is declining. In 2014, Italy's stone consumption per thousand people was 865m2, ranking sixth in the world. According to the population of 60.78 million in the year, the Italian stone consumption in 2014 was 52.575 million m2. In addition, the Italian stone craft is also famous in the world, and its design is second to none in the world. According to the Italian Marble Machinery Research Center, in the first half of 2015, Italy exported to the world a total of 616 million euros of natural stone mining and processing machinery and tools, compared with 478 million euros in the same period in 2014. Growth of 29.8%. Among them, the main export sales market is the United States, with an amount of 65.8 million euros, an increase of 83%. Third, the US stone market situation 1, the US stone production As early as the 70s and 80s of the last century, the United States stone consumption objects are mainly large-scale high-end commercial and public buildings such as skyscrapers, commercial centers and banks. With the development of the economy, in the 1990s, it gradually developed into various small and medium-sized buildings and high-end residential buildings, which were applied to wall decoration and floor laying. However, the US resource policy has strict restrictions on the exploitation of natural stone, resulting in lower domestic stone production. 2. US stone consumption Since 2001, the scale and per capita usage of stone materials in the United States have steadily increased. In 2008 and 2009, due to the impact of the global financial crisis, the scale has declined, but since 2012, with the US real estate market The recovery, the scale of the use of stone in the United States has gradually picked up, and the trend of popularization of stone consumption in the United States has gradually formed.
Today, stone has become a popular consumer product in the United States, and residents use stone as one of the choices to improve their quality of life. However, the demand for stone consumption in the United States is mainly dominated by granite and marble (including travertine and part of limestone). Fourth, the Japanese stone market situation 1, Japanese stone production Japan is Asia's second only to China's stone consumer countries, but Japan loves its own resources, has strict environmental protection measures, the annual mining volume of stone mining areas is extremely limited, and the stone mining trend is also The situation of shrinking year by year is far from satisfying the demand, so 75%-80% of the original stones are dependent on imports.
Japan is one of the world's important stone importing countries. Unlike Italy, China and other stone powers, Japan's stone exports are minimal, and almost all imported stone products provide domestic market consumption. In recent years, under the attack of China, Italy and other stone powers, Japan’s local import of raw materials has almost completely withdrawn from the market. Therefore, the existing practitioners in the Japanese stone industry mainly rely on the final processing or construction, or completely transformed into Importer, wholesaler, distributor. 2. Japanese stone consumption Due to the high quality requirements of Japanese building stone, the fineness, color, texture uniformity and consistency of finished product quality and size are higher than those of other countries. Even if the Japanese construction industry is affected by the downturn and the relevant budget is reduced, the requirements for stone quality are equally consistent. Therefore, the Japanese stone consumption market is less affected by the macro economy, mainly related to the downstream market demand. In 2014, Japan's natural stone consumption was 19.434 million tons. V. Global Stone Market Trends From the above analysis, global stone production has maintained a growing trend since 2013, but as global environmental protection requirements become stricter, natural stone production will decline in the future. In terms of consumption, global stone consumption has increased since 2007, but the consumption of stone in Italy, the United States and Japan has shown a downward trend, but the consumption of major stone consumers in Switzerland, Belgium, Taiwan and other regions still maintains a growing trend. It is expected that stone consumption will be concentrated in several major consumer countries in the future.
Analysis of the trend of global stone market scale and consumer demand
First, the global stone market situation In recent years, environmental protection requirements have become more and more strict, coupled with imitation stone and other categories of decorative materials to block and counterattack, natural stone encountered a certain containment. From the perspective of the global market environment, the natural stone market is not optimistic.
