On the one hand, the foreign economy continues to be sluggish, and the export of China's stone industry has encountered a rare "cold flow"; on the other hand, domestic macroeconomic regulation, especially the "restricted purchase" of the property market, has also greatly reduced the wholesale orders of stone enterprises. Under the double-sided pinch, although the stone enterprises achieved steady growth, in addition to the accelerated growth of production, the main business income, profit, investment, and import and export growth rate dropped significantly.

According to the prediction of the China Stone Association, the decline in 2013 will be slowed down. The stone industry will maintain steady growth. The output of marble plates of stone enterprises above designated size will increase by 25% compared with the previous year; the output of granite plates will increase by 20% compared with the previous year; the income of main business will increase by 20%, and the profit will increase by 25%; It will still exceed 20%; the total import and export volume of stone will increase by 5%.

The stone industry has entered a key stage of transformation and upgrading. At present, the market is not as triumphant as the previous two years. In the past, the home improvement industry that the stone industry did not pay attention to has great potential. The stone industry will take the product innovation, technological innovation and management innovation as the driving force, and strive to build a modern stone industry with resource-saving and environment-friendly, quality and efficiency.

Production continues to grow profits

Although the stone enterprises have achieved steady growth, they are different from the previous high growth. In addition to the accelerated growth of production, the growth rate of main business income, profit and investment has dropped significantly.

According to the statistics of China Stone Association, in 2012, the output of stone enterprises above designated size was 541.02 million square meters, an increase of 27.7% over the previous year. Among them, the output of marble plates was 127.81 million square meters, an increase of 31.1% over the previous year. The growth rate was 1.9 percentage points higher than that of the previous year; the output of granite plates was 41.321 million square meters, an increase of 26.7% over the previous year. The annual rate is 9.9 percentage points.

The main business income, profit, and investment growth rate all showed a significant decline. In 2012, the main business income of enterprises above designated size reached 278.1 billion yuan, an increase of 23.7% over the previous year, and the growth rate dropped 12.3 percentage points from the previous year. Accumulated profits of 23.2 billion yuan, an increase of 30.5% over the same period of the previous year, the growth rate dropped by 10.5 percentage points over the previous year; the cost per 100 yuan of main business income was 81.13 yuan, 0.85 yuan higher than the same period of the previous year; The income margin was 8.35%, an increase of 0.43 percentage points over the same period of the previous year.

In 2012, the main business income of stone mining enterprises above designated size reached 57.1 billion yuan, an increase of 23.5% over the previous year. The growth rate dropped by 17.0 percentage points from the previous year; the accumulated profit reached 4.3 billion yuan, an increase of 38.3% over the previous year. It fell 11.8 percentage points from the previous year; the main business income of stone processing enterprises above designated size reached 221 billion yuan, up 23.8% over the previous year, and the growth rate dropped 10.9 percentage points from the previous year; the accumulated profit reached 19 billion yuan, up from the previous year. 28.9%, the growth rate dropped by 10.0 percentage points from the previous year.

In 2012, the accumulated investment in construction stone mining and processing was 123.8 billion yuan, an increase of 23.8% over the previous year, and the growth rate dropped by 21.3 percentage points from the previous year. Among them, the accumulated investment in construction stone mining was 39.2 billion yuan, up 25.8% over the previous year, and the growth rate was down 13.6 percentage points from the previous year; the cumulative investment in construction stone processing was 84.6 billion yuan, up 22.9% over the previous year. The annual decline was 24.9 percentage points.

Experts said that the stone industry has already shown a positive signal of market recovery. The trend of decline in 2013 will be slowed down, and the stone industry will maintain steady growth.

Import and export growth is weak

Compared with the domestic market, China's stone industry exports experienced a rare "cold flow". In 2012, the import and export of stone materials totaled 37.72 million tons, an increase of 1.4% year-on-year. The growth rate dropped by 8.5 percentage points from the previous year; the total import and export volume was US$8.06 billion. It increased by 5.5% year-on-year, and the growth rate dropped by 14.1 percentage points from the previous year.

A person in charge of a stone company told this reporter that since last year, it has clearly felt that the export situation is not good. The export business volume in the first three quarters of last year has shrunk by one-third, and it has slowly recovered from the fourth quarter. There is also a large decline in the wholesale stone.

From the perspective of sales area, the US economic recovery is relatively slow, and the European debt crisis has not improved. The sales situation in the European and American markets is not optimistic, and sales in the Middle East have also declined. However, the newly opened orders in emerging markets such as India and Russia are moving up.

Data show that in 2012, stone exports were 24.07 million tons, up only 0.2% year-on-year. The growth rate dropped 10.9 percentage points from the previous year; the export volume was 5.37 billion US dollars, up 4.7% year-on-year, and the growth rate dropped 17.5 percentage points from the previous year.

Although the export situation of China's stone industry is not optimistic, there has been growth in Africa, Oceania and parts of Central Asia. Emerging economies have shown strong growth in demand for stone. In 2012, exports to Africa, Oceania and Central Asia increased rapidly, with growth rates of 65.7%, 17.2% and 32.5% respectively. The sum of exports accounted for 7.2% of China's total stone exports; for Africa, Oceania and The average export prices of the five Central Asian countries reached US$824 per ton, US$612 and US$863 respectively. China's average export price to the Americas is still the highest, reaching 938 US dollars per ton, and the proportion of exports to the Americas accounted for 16.0% of China's total stone exports.

At present, there are already 12 destination countries (regions) with Chinese stone exports exceeding US$100 million, including Korea, Japan, the United States, Germany, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, the Netherlands, Vietnam, Russia, Belgium and the United Arab Emirates.

Experts said that for a long time, Chinese stone has mainly used price as a competitive means in the international market. Compared with developed countries such as Italy, there is still a certain gap in the quality and processing technology of Chinese products. The middle and low-end image in the international market has not yet been obtained. Fundamentally changed, the number of deep-processed products still accounts for a small proportion. In the overall downturn of the international market, the number of stone exports to major destination countries has been greatly affected. Among them, exports to Japan and Germany decreased by 5.3% and 6.9% respectively, and exports to Vietnam, Belgium and the United Arab Emirates were respectively Decrease by 23.4%, 20.6% and 8.8%.

Increased safety and clean production levels

Another noteworthy feature of the stone industry is that clean production and safe production have improved.

“Dust emissions used to be the biggest headache for the stone industry. Since last year, there have been some cases of expelling stone enterprises because of emission problems. In fact, the energy consumption of standard coal in the stone industry is the lowest among all sub-sectors of building materials. The person in charge of the Information Department of China Building Materials Federation told this reporter.

Nan'an City, Fujian Province introduced a market operation mechanism to uniformly collect, remove, dispose and treat stone dust. The stone production enterprise is equipped with a sewage treatment system integrating sedimentation, concentration, pressure filtration and decanting. The stone powder is subjected to pressure filtration treatment, and the liquid stone powder is converted into dry stone powder to achieve zero discharge of sewage.

Shandong Wulian also strictly examines the park stone enterprises according to a series of standards such as scale, environmental protection, plant construction, land conservation, equipment renewal, etc., and forcibly closes non-standard enterprises.

Chengdu, Sichuan and Yuncheng District, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province have implemented large-scale relocation of stone enterprises around the city. Through park management, they have tried to change the problems of environmental protection, waste water discharge and dust exceeding the standard in the industry, and realize the unified treatment of sewage, dust and gravel. , recycling and recycling to reduce the impact on the surrounding environment.

Hezhou City, Guangxi Province has turned the corner waste rock into “baby” by creating a recycling industry chain of “marble raw materials, marble plates and handicrafts to marble corner scrap recycling, heavy calcium carbonate superfine powder, synthetic artificial marble and new materials”. It provides a reference for solving the environmental problems of transformation and development in various places.

At the same time, new progress has been made in mine standards and standards. The rational development and utilization of stone resources and sustainable development are important goals in the construction of modern stone industry. The establishment and improvement of relevant standards system guarantees the rational development and utilization of resources and the sustainable development of the industry from the source.

Zou Chuansheng, president of China Stone Association, revealed that the Stone Association is preparing for the "Entry Requirements for Stone Industry", which will be submitted to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce for consideration this year. At that time, the scale, clean production, safe production, energy consumption level and mine specification utilization of stone enterprises will be made. Further detailed requirements.

Further optimization of industrial layout

With the continuous deepening of China's industrialization, the layout of the stone industry has been further optimized, and the industrial transfer, resource development and market layout of the eastern, central and western regions have started simultaneously.

The east accelerates industrial transfer and upgrading. Enterprises in the eastern regions such as Fujian, Shanghai, and Zhejiang have increased their investment in the central and western provinces, and invested in stone mines, processing bases, trading markets, and machinery and equipment manufacturing in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, Guizhou, Henan, Jilin, and Shanxi. In the field, seek new development space and opportunities. Jinjiang City, Fujian Province has achieved the overall exit of low-end and middle-end stone enterprises by closing unlicensed mines and stone processing enterprises and implementing the “standardization standards for pollution prevention and control of process stone processing enterprises”, and promoted the transfer and upgrading of the industry.

The central and western regions will accelerate resource development and market layout. Wujiang, Sichuan Mianyang, Xinjiang Qitai, Shanshan and Hami, Guangxi Tunxi, Inner Mongolia Baotou, Gansu Dunhuang, Guizhou, Guangxi Laibin, Hubei Huanggang actively integrate stone resources and accelerate the construction of processing bases and stone industrial parks. Henan Nanyang, Jilin Tiangang, Inner Mongolia and Linger strengthened investment promotion and promoted the rational development and comprehensive utilization of resources. Xinjiang has built a Xinjiang stone logistics park centered on Shanghai through railway container trains to meet market demand and promote the development of Xinjiang stone brand. In order to promote the sound and rapid development of the stone industry in China and the West, the China Stone Association and the Qingbaijiang Government of Chengdu jointly organized the 2nd Western Stone Industry Forum, which provided suggestions and guidance for the development of western stone and assisted the Hubei Stone Association in research and development. The development plan of the “three mountains and two parks” of the Hubei stone industry.

Industry upgrades are fully accelerated

At present, the upgrading of the stone industry has been accelerated, the level of industrial concentration and industrial cluster construction has been continuously improved, the level of clean production and safe production has improved, and product structure adjustment and marketing model innovation have made new progress.

There are many private enterprises in the stone industry, bid farewell to single-handedly fighting, and the development of the group has become the consensus of the industry, and the level of industrial cluster construction is getting higher and higher. Relying on their own advantages, local governments have made significant improvements in the planning and construction of stone parks, the scale and technical level of enterprises through government guidance and joint efforts of enterprises.

The industrial cluster of Nan'an City in Fujian Province has been expanding continuously. It has formed two major parks, Shuitou and Shijing, and has become a “professional demonstration base for national foreign trade transformation and upgrading”. The local government aims to build a world stone capital, from cultivating stone headquarters and guiding Start with restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and guide the industry to upgrade and eliminate backward enterprises.

Rizhao City, Shandong Province strictly controls the stone industry parks in terms of environmental protection, quality, scale and resource conservation, and eliminates backwardness through marketization and administrative means to promote the intensive development of the stone industry. In terms of policies, capital, technology and talents, Pingyi will focus on supporting stone enterprises with large production scale, high technical level and advanced technology, and implement industrial upgrading through the implementation of leading strategies.

Yunfu City of Guangdong Province took the lead in carrying out credit evaluation of stone enterprises in the country, realizing enterprise credit standardization and informationization, promoting industry self-discipline, brand development and transformation and upgrading.

In addition, Inner Mongolia and Linger, Hezhou City of Guangxi Province, and Shanshan and Qitai of Xinjiang have learned the industry of water heads by taking the opportunity of taking the eastern industry transfer as an opportunity to improve the entry threshold of enterprises, strengthen resource recycling and integration of mineral rights. The advanced experience of the cluster area will improve the construction level of the park and the processing technology level of the enterprise.

From the statistics of customs clearance, the increase and proportion of imports in the Xiamen customs area continued to increase in 2012, and the proportion of export products accounted for nearly 60%. Fujian's status as an international stone distribution center was further strengthened. The increase and proportion of imports in Tianjin Customs District have also gradually increased. With the completion and commissioning of many projects such as Shishangcang, Tianjin will gradually establish its status as a distribution center for northern stones. The western region, represented by Guangxi, Sichuan and Inner Mongolia, excels in stone mining, processing, sales and investment; Kunming and Nanning Districts play an increasingly important role in import and export of stone with ASEAN countries.
