Speaking of the country's main architectural ceramics production areas, there has always been a saying of "three mountains, one sea and two rivers" in the past, namely Foshan in Guangdong, Boshan in Shandong, Tangshan in Hebei, Shanghai, Jiajiang in Sichuan, Jinjiang in Fujian and other production areas.
However, since the beginning of the 21st century, China's architectural ceramics landscape has undergone earth-shaking changes. The country's major architectural ceramics production areas have been subject to repeated adjustments and changes due to policy changes, market reshuffles, environmental protection rectification, "coal to gas" and other factors. A number of traditional production areas have declined and disappeared, and have withdrawn from the stage of history. A number of emerging production areas have come from behind and risen against the trend. China's architectural ceramics has been developing for more than 40 years. Which architectural ceramics production areas have "long-lasting prosperity" and which emerging production areas stand out?
Gao'an has become the largest county-level production area in the country
Teng County is expected to "enter" the top 5 in the country
According to "Ceramic Information" "2020 Ceramics Industry Long March" survey data, the top 20 county-level production areas in the country have a total of 561 ceramic construction companies, 1,469 production lines, and an annual production capacity of 6.437 billion square meters. There are 16 county-level ceramic tile production areas with an annual ceramic tile production capacity of more than 200 million square meters.
In terms of production areas, Jiangxi Gao'an, an emerging production area, has experienced rapid development for more than ten years since it took over the transfer of Guangdong's ceramics industry in 2007. It has become the largest (county-level) production area in the country, and its production capacity is farthest in the country. Take the lead, stand out.
Tengxian County, Guangxi, as a dazzling "new star" in China's architectural ceramics landscape in recent years, has rapidly expanded its industrial scale after successively introducing first-line well-known ceramic companies such as Mona Lisa, Oceano, and Jianyi. It has become the eighth largest (county-level) ceramics production area in the country. However, according to the development speed and development potential of Tengxian Ceramics, it is expected that Tengxian County will become one of the top five (county-level) building ceramics production areas in the country before the end of 2022.
In addition, the two traditional production areas of Jinjiang in Fujian and Jiajiang in Sichuan have profound heritage. They are still one of the largest architectural ceramic production areas in the country and firmly occupy a place. In particular, the number of ceramic enterprises and production lines in Jinjiang, Fujian, ranks first among county-level production areas in the country; Jiajiang, Sichuan will undergo large-scale technological transformation, expand production capacity, and promote new products in 2020, and has full development potential.
Thanks to the rapid development of Gao'an Ceramics, coupled with the rise of Yifeng, Shanggao and Fengcheng Ceramics within its jurisdiction, Yichun, Jiangxi Province has become the largest (prefecture-level) architectural ceramics production area in the country and the only annual A ceramics production area with a production capacity of over 1 billion square meters.
Quanzhou, Fujian and Zhaoqing, Guangdong, once became the largest (prefecture-level) ceramic production areas in the country at different times. However, in the past few years, they have been affected by environmental protection.The impact of industrial policies such as governance and "coal-to-gas" has led to a significant reduction in production capacity, and Yichun's position as the "leader" has been replaced. Traditional large-scale production areas such as Foshan in Guangdong, Linyi in Shandong, and Zibo in Shandong have also been affected by the same impact, and their production capacity has shrunk significantly.
However, after multiple rounds of industrial transfers and environmental protection improvements, Foshan Ceramics still has 195 production lines and a huge annual production capacity of 670 million square meters, and its production scale can still rank among the top four in the country.
Production capacity scale of TOP10 major construction and ceramics provinces
Accounting for more than 80% of the country and "half of the world"
Based on provinces, with reference to data indicators such as the number of ceramic enterprises, the number of production lines, and the scale of production capacity, the top ten ceramic provinces in the country in 2020 are Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Shandong, Guangxi, Henan, Hubei, Liaoning, Hebei.
Survey data shows that the top 10 ceramics provinces in the country have a total of 925 ceramics production companies, accounting for 80% of the total number of ceramics companies in the country; they have 2,338 ceramics production lines, accounting for 84.7% of the total production lines in the country; the total daily production capacity of ceramic tiles 33.98245 million square meters, with a total annual production capacity of 10.5 billion square meters, accounting for 85.5% of the country's total ceramic tile production capacity.
From a global perspective, China has always been the world's largest ceramic tile manufacturer, with production capacity accounting for more than 60% of the world's total ceramic tile production capacity, and the production capacity of the above-mentioned TOP10 ceramic tile provinces alone can account for the world's total production capacity. "Half the country".
It is particularly worth mentioning that Guangdong Province has a total annual ceramic tile production capacity of 3.144 billion square meters in 2020, while India, the world's second largest ceramic tile producer, has a total annual ceramic tile production capacity of only more than 1 billion square meters. Guangdong's architectural ceramic production capacity The scale is far ahead of the world, accounting for more than 15% of the world's total.
Jiangxi Zhongban and Xiwa ranked first in the country
Fujian's exterior walls and floor paving stones rank first in the country
In terms of product categories, Jiangxi is the largest roof tile and mid-board production area in the country. Jiangxi's medium plate production capacity accounts for 28% of the country's total, and Xiwa's production capacity accounts for 23% of the country's total.
Fujian is the largest production area of exterior wall tiles and floor paving stones in the country. Fujian's exterior wall tile production capacity accounts for 51.4% of the country's total, and its flooring stone production capacity accounts for 53.5% of the country's total. It is truly the number one production area for exterior wall tiles and flooring stones.
Guangdong is the country's largest producer of large slabs/rock slabs, polished tiles, glazed tiles, antique tiles, and porcelain tiles.production area. Guangdong's large slab/rock slab production capacity accounts for 42.9% of the country's total, polished tile production capacity accounts for 52% of the country's total, glazed tile production capacity accounts for 33.1% of the country's total, antique tile production capacity accounts for 29.6% of the country's total, and porcelain tile production capacity accounts for 14.4% of the country's total.
