Ceramics industry statistics of Foshan City in the first half of 2024

Time:2024.08.23 Views:45

In 2024, the overall kiln development rate of the ceramic industry hit a new low, however, there were significant differences in the kiln opening rates between different ceramic production areas and ceramic enterprises. In terms of provinces, the kiln shutdown rates of ceramic factories in Guangdong and Guangxi have been relatively low since May, 2024.

 

The representative production area of Guangdong ceramics is Foshan. The kiln opening rate of the ceramic tile production lines in the first half of 2024 in Foshan was 52%. According to some suppliers and industry veterans, the operating conditions of ceramic companies in Foshan and Guangdong have been relatively good this year, with a relatively low kiln shutdown rate.

Recently, Foshan Ceramic Industry Association pointed out that the total output of ceramic wall tile in Foshan City was 346 million square meters in the first half of 2024, a decrease of 9.8%. Meanwhile, Foshan sanitary ceramics total output reached 9.934 million cases, up 8.5% year-on-year, the total export of Foshan ceramic wall tile and Foshan sanitary ceramics were respectively 4.487 million yuan ,a decrease of 23.3%, 869 million yuan, a decrease of 75.1%. 


According to the analysis, the development of major ceramic production areas and enterprises has been offset from each other in recent years. This year, there were at least three major advantages or improvements in Foshan ceramics.

Firstly, the price of natural gas in Guangdong and Foshan production areas is relatively stable and low. The production cost of enterprises has been greatly reduced, and the competitiveness of production areas has been improved.

Secondly, the concept of tile production area has been repeatedly hyped on the Internet. Many consumers have been influenced to strongly pursue "Foshan tiles" and "Guangdong bricks", which has a very obvious sales-boosting effect on Foshan ceramic enterprises. 

 

Finally, in the past two years, many Foshan ceramic enterprises have increased their efforts in technical transformation and demolition and construction of production lines, which has improved production efficiency and reduced unit production cost.

Over the past period of time, affected by the continued impact of industrial transforamtion, many dealers thought that there were no ceramic factories (with kilns) in Foshan anymore, mistakenly believing that all the ceramic factories in Foshan had moved to other places, only processing plants and marketing headquarters were left in Foshan. But in fact, there are still more than 30 ceramic factories in Foshan. In terms of production lines and production capacity, Foshan's ceramic tile production capacity still ranks the top four among prefecture-level cities throughout the country. 


According to the latest data released by Foshan Ceramics Industry Association, as of the first half of 2024, Foshan still has 32 building ceramics manufacturers and 169 production lines. In the first half of the year, the total output of Foshan ceramic wall and floor tiles was 346 million square meters, which was still in the forefront of the large ceramic producing areas in the country.


It can be clearly seen that although the production scale of Foshan ceramics has been reduced after several rounds of industry reshuffles and industrial transfers, its current production and

manufacturing scale is still in a very strong position nationally. In addition, Foshan ceramics has unique advantages in the entire industry chain and industrial clusters such as brand marketing, equipment, technology, R&D and innovation, and is far ahead.
