More than 70 ceramic industries stopped production within one year, polarization intensifies
The current situation of the household ceramics industry is that the head enterprises are in fierce competition, and some small and medium-sized enterprises do not know how to think about changes, and they have not caught up with the speed of industry changes in all aspects of the layout.

In 2020, more than 70 enterprises were completely shut down. Between 2017 and 2020, 185 enterprises disappeared and 381 production lines were scrapped.

All kinds of trends indicate that the polarization of the ceramic industry is intensifying, and the brand concentration of the ceramic industry will increase day by day.
