Focusing on the business of “sintered stone”, different industries in the pan-home furnishing industrial chain began to conduct cross-border cooperation, which greatly promoted the rapid development of the sintered stone industry. This cross- border phenomenon was particularly prominent at Uniceramics Expo which held in July this year – the vane of Chinese ceramics industry. The world’s first “Slab Industry Cross Border Alliance” was established at Uniceramics Expo. With the aim of cooperation and win-win, the alliance integrates resources, links the market, expands channels, regulates market competition rules, and works together to make the sintered stone business bigger and stronger.

Sintered stone processing enterprises
At the meeting, sintered stone processing enterprises raised that when processing sintered stone, problems such as high loss rate, fixed size and specification, poor-quality edge, different colors are prominent so they expected that sintered stone companies can develop full-body products as soon as possible. Moreover, they also expressed that they would like to add more value to sintered stone through deep processing so as to achieve a win-win situation for all parties.

Sintered stone furniture enterprises
Sintered stone furniture enterprises also stated that during the furniture production process, the prices of sintered stone can be varied and the current choice for patterns and styles are relatively limited, which cannot meet their development needs for new furniture. At the same time, slabs with glossy surfaces cannot be used on a large scale due to the problem of scratches, and there are already too many slabs with matte surfaces in the market, resulting in the serious problem of homogeneity. Therefore, they hope sintered stone companies can develop more slab products with rich colors and innovative patterns. The inconsistency of the color and the surface after the slab is cut also troubles the furniture companies. They have to solve the problem by embedding the slab or decorating the edge with metal border, which raises the cost and reduces profits compared to other materials.

Online furniture retailer
Online furniture retailer said that sintered stone furniture has become popular this year, and there is a certain market on the e-commerce platform. However, the black and white styles in the market cannot meet the needs of customers, and customers only pay attention on the products and do not know well about the materials. It is hoped that sintered stone companies can develop more fashionable patterns to meet market demand.
