✎Liu Shi: The ceramic industry is currently in the transition stage from the first to the second half
If we look back thirty years and look back at today's ceramic industry, perhaps the first half of the industry has ended and the second half is about to begin. It is currently in the transition stage. Mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. The ceramic industry has shifted from the disordered and barbaric growth of multiple brands to the intensive development of brands.
2. With the intervention of capital, the production base of ceramic enterprises continues to expand, personnel and teams are continuously optimized, and they have sufficient ability to conduct market research. The ceramic industry is transforming from large-scale production to service-oriented production.
3. The ceramic industry’s attention has shifted from the back-end of production to the front-end of consumption.
4. Category extension, price extension, and service front-end have become industry trends.
5. Affected by national macro policies, channels are facing reconstruction.
6. It is the emergence of a new species "rock slab" that breaks the boundaries of product applications in the ceramic industry.
