building decorative stone can be divided into natural stone and artificial stone two categories. The artificial stone is divided into inorganic type artificial stone and resin type artificial stone. As an important category of artificial stone, resin type artificial stone has shown a steady growth trend in recent years.
artificial quartz stone, as a typical variety of numerical artificial stone, refers to the artificial stone made of unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) as adhesive and quartz sand and quartz powder as the main filling material. Artificial quartz stone inherits the characteristics of hard nature, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and exquisite appearance of natural granite, and overcomes the shortcomings of natural stone such as non-renewable, poor stain resistance and radioactivity in some types, so it is widely used in the field of interior decoration mainly in kitchen, toilet, public restaurant and other countertops.
The developing countries represented by China have their own advantages such as a good industrial foundation and convenient transportation, and the local consumer market has huge potential. After nearly ten years of production accumulation and market accumulation, China's Guangdong, Hubei, Shandong and other places have produced more mature artificial stone industry clusters, the industry's leading enterprises have been in the automation of production, product performance research and development, design and other fields to show a strong international competitiveness.
During the period from 2015 to 2021, the production capacity of China's artificial stone industry is growing. According to incomplete statistics, the production capacity of China's artificial stone industry was 6.5 million tons in 2015, and the industry's production capacity increased to about 9.65 million tons in 2021, an increase of 6.5 million tons over 2015. It is expected that China's artificial stone production capacity is expected to exceed 10 million tons in 2022.
