The ceramic sanitary industry in China is currently facing a series of significant challenges, despite some signs of stability in the broader building materials sector. According to data from the Ministry of Information and Economic Operations of the China Building Materials Federation, while the economic performance of the building materials industry has shown steady progress since the third quarter of 2012, the ceramic sanitary industry continues to experience considerable downward pressure.
In 2013, the sector is expected to confront six major challenges, with rising production costs being one of the most pressing. Over the past few years, expenses related to labor, raw materials, logistics, marketing, and technological innovation have all increased, squeezing profit margins. This cost inflation, combined with intense price competition, has further weakened corporate profitability. The cost issue has become a key concern during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period and marks the end of an era where low-cost manufacturing dominated. Now, the industry is entering a phase of high cost and low growth, making cost management more critical than ever.
Another challenge is the gradual decline of traditional "dividends" that once fueled the rapid development of the ceramic sanitary industry. These include demographic, resource, policy, and market dividends. For example, the number of available laborers in China is projected to decrease by 1.2% annually over the next decade, which, along with rising wages, is eroding the competitive advantage of labor-intensive industries. At the same time, environmental regulations and green policies are pushing the sector to rethink its development model and find new sources of competitiveness.
Transformation and upgrading have become hot topics in the industry, but many companies still lack clear strategies. While the need for change is evident, the path forward remains unclear. Issues such as product innovation, intellectual property protection, energy efficiency, and international market expansion remain unresolved. Companies must navigate these uncertainties while seeking sustainable growth.
Overcapacity is another major problem. With over 3,275 ceramic production lines nationwide, the industry faces a significant surplus—over 30% of capacity is not being utilized. This has led to cutbacks, factory closures, and intense price competition. Without effective structural adjustments, the industry risks falling into a cycle of overproduction and declining profits.
Homogenization is also a serious issue. Products, branding, and even design have become increasingly similar, leading to a lack of innovation and weak brand identity. The absence of strong intellectual property protection has further hindered progress, allowing copycat products to dominate the market.
Internationally, the situation is equally challenging. While China’s ceramic sanitary industry benefited from global production shifts and market opportunities, it now faces growing trade barriers, anti-dumping measures, and economic instability abroad. Exporting companies must adapt or risk losing their foothold in overseas markets.
In the face of these challenges, the ceramic sanitary industry must embrace transformation and innovation. Only through strategic upgrades can companies improve efficiency, build stronger brands, and compete on a global scale. The road ahead is tough, but it also presents an opportunity for the industry to evolve and achieve long-term success.
Self Drilling Screw
Self drilling Screw made of 410 stainless steel, high hardness (40 Rockwell C), steel process.
Drilling screw is also very strong hardness, compared to the ordinary screw up, not only to maintain the ability is good, the connection object effect is also very strong, for the performance of the screw, are generally does not need auxiliary processing, can be directly on the object directly drill a Kong Sue into objects, not just use rise very convenient, Also can greatly improve the efficiency of work. This kind of drilling screw can be said to be the first choice of workers in various fields.
So what is the use of drilling screws?
1 stainless steel plate, metal plate, galvanized steel plate, engineering installation.
2 metal curtain wall metal light compartment and other indoor and outdoor installation.
General Angle steel, channel steel, iron plate and other metal materials combined installation.
4, automobile, container, shipbuilding, refrigeration equipment and other assembly projects.
