Ceramics are made of artificially synthesized high-purity inorganic compounds and have a series of superior physical, chemical and biological properties. Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia are the main ceramic demand areas. my country's ceramic export market is mainly concentrated in the United States, Japan, South Korea, the European Union, etc. The following is an analysis of the development trend of the ceramic market.
China is the world's ceramic manufacturing center and a major ceramic production country. Its annual output and export volume rank first in the world. Ceramic products are also one of my country's main export products. Ceramic industry analysis points out that daily-use ceramics account for 70% of the world, decorative art ceramics account for 65% of the world, sanitary ceramics account for 50% of the world's output, and architectural ceramics account for 64% of the world's output.
The development trend of the ceramic market points out that in recent years, the annual compound growth rate of the main business income of enterprises above designated size in my country's ceramic industry has remained stable at around 16%. The top three regions in terms of main business income are Jiangxi, Guangdong and Shandong. In terms of market demand, Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia are the main ceramic demand areas. my country's ceramic export market is mainly concentrated in the United States, Japan, South Korea, the European Union, etc.
In 2019, there were 1,435 architectural ceramic enterprises above designated size in my country, with an output value of 383.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.43%; the output of daily-use ceramics was 31 billion pieces, with an output value of 96 billion yuan, an average annual compound growth rate of 18.76%; the output of sanitary ceramic products was 200 million pieces, with an output value of more than 220 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.43%; the industrial output value of artistic ceramics was about 18 billion yuan. The export of daily-use ceramics, architectural ceramics, sanitary ceramics and artistic ceramic products also showed a comprehensive red scene. It is estimated that the output value of ceramic products in my country will reach 1.1 trillion yuan in 2020.
In terms of export value, my country's ceramic export value increased from US$5.038 billion to US$16.747 billion, with an average annual compound growth rate of 18.72%. After the financial crisis, the average annual compound growth rate of exports reached 27.56%.
In terms of export quantity, my country exported a total of US$19.163 billion in ceramic products in 2019, a year-on-year increase of 14.43%. The development trend of the ceramic market shows that the export of daily-use ceramics was US$2.714 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 1.03%; the export of artistic ceramics was US$2.928 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 6.97%; the export of architectural ceramics was US$8.488 billion, a year-on-year increase of 26.60%; the export of sanitary ceramics was US$1.988 billion, a year-on-year increase of 113.01%; and the export of other ceramics was US$3.045 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 5.34%16.
As of 2019, there were more than 2,000 enterprises in the ceramic products manufacturing industry above designated size in China, and the total number of employees in the ceramic products manufacturing industry was 600,000. The country has formed the Guangdong Foshan architectural ceramics production base, the Guangdong Chaozhou daily-use, sanitary, and artistic ceramics production base, the Hebei Tangshan, Shandong Zibo, Hunan Liling, Guangxi Beiliu, Fujian Dehua and other daily-use ceramics production bases and the Jiangxi Jingdezhen artistic ceramics production base. The industry development is characterized by regionalization, division of labor, and agglomeration of the same type of products.
At present, my country has become one of the world's major consumer electronics production bases, and has become a major producer and consumer of ceramic capacitors in the world. As global MLCC manufacturers, Japan's Murata and Samsung Electro-Mechanics will expand production in mainland China. Among them, Samsung Electro-Mechanics will invest in the construction of an automotive MLCC factory in Tianjin Development Zone, and the project is expected to be fully put into production in 2020; Japan's Murata plans to build a new MLCC factory in Wuxi, and the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2019.
Overall, in the face of the gradual strengthening of international trade barriers, my country's ceramic exports have maintained steady growth. On the one hand, it benefits from the active adjustment of product structure by domestic ceramic companies to improve product quality and grade, and on the other hand, it benefits from the rise of international emerging markets including Southeast Asia, the Middle East and South America. With the rapid economic development of emerging countries, the demand for ceramic products has become more vigorous, which has brought new profit growth space for my country's ceramic exports. The above is all the content of the analysis of the development trend of the ceramic market.
