①Global ceramic tile consumption is expected to drop by 9.7% in 2020
In June 2020, the Research Center of the Italian Construction Ceramics and Refractory Materials Industry Association made a forecast for global GDP in 2020-2021. It is expected that the global economy will shrink by 3.5% in 2020, a recession far greater than that caused by the international financial crisis in 2008. Economic downturn. At the same time, the forecast report shows that the huge impact of the new crown epidemic on the global construction industry will also directly lead to a decline in world ceramic tile consumption, with a drop of up to 9.7%. It is understood that after the global epidemic, the blockade implemented by Western European countries has exacerbated the economic recession, which will lead to a double-digit decline in Western European ceramic tile consumption in 2020, with a drop of up to 15.9%. The expected rebound in consumption can only offset part of this year's losses; In Central and Eastern Europe, ceramic tile consumption is expected to fall by 12.6% and is expected to grow by 6% in 2021, but will still not reach 2019 consumption levels.

③Foreign major boards are online
According to incomplete statistics from the media, there are currently 26 large plate production lines in regions outside Europe and South America, including 20 in India, 2 each in Turkey and Indonesia, and 1 each in Dubai and Iran. In terms of press brands, 15 of them use GEA from SYSTEM, 4 use CONTINUA from SACMI, and 1 large plate in Iran uses SUPERA from SITI-B&T. byThe main specifications are 1200×2400mm, 1200×2600mm, 1600×3200mm, and 1200×1800mm. Due to insufficient market demand for large boards, in addition to large boards, these production lines also produce medium boards and other products of other specifications, mainly with specifications below 2 meters.
In a market environment where supply exceeds demand, price wars are inevitable. Taking India, which has the largest number of large board lines, as an example, last year's production capacity has been difficult to digest, and prices have continued to plummet. Taking 1200×2400 (9mm thick) as an example, the currently publicly quoted ex-factory price is only 11 US dollars (equivalent to about 77 yuan) . It is conceivable that as China's large-scale panel lines are put into production this year, the world war on large-scale panel prices will become more and more intense.
