Mr. Li Xinliang, President of Ceramic Town Weekly, General Manager of Foshan Uniceramics said in his

speech that the reason for releasing the list of the Ceramics and Sanitary Ware Global 100 statistical list

 is to help Chinese ceramics and sanitary ware enterprises identify the position for better development

and find out the comparative advantage to join the global competition. For a long time, overseas

 institutions have always excluded Chinese companies from the list, which made Chinese companies 

have no information on comparing their advantages. Therefore, integrating global information resources 

and releasing the World Top 100 statistical list will help to build the soft power of Chinese ceramics

 industry and help Chinese ceramics enterprises go abroad.

In addition, Mr. Li Xinliang also believed that the current industry is in a competitive era of rational 

management and intensive cultivation. To break through the difficulties, we must sort out the underlying 

logic and find a way. Uniceramics Expo is not only the largest ceramics exhibition in Asia, but also the most

 professional exhibition gathering distributors, designers, decoration enterprises, etc. It is an opportunity

 for Chinese ceramic enterprises to break through the difficulties, which shall not be missed. From 16-20 

November, welcome to visit Uniceramics Expo to find business and answers.

During the releasing of the World Top 100 statistical list, Professor Mao Yunshi, chief expert of the expert

 committee, Doctoral Supervisor of the School of Management of Sun Yat-sen University said that this list

 will not only help everyone to get a clearer idea of the current global ceramics and sanitary ware industry

 but also make the world see us. This Ceramics and Sanitary Ware Global 100 Statistical List observe and 

introduce the development status of the global industry from multiple dimensions, which will help the 

world to better understand China and China's ceramics industry, and also help Chinese enterprises to

 understand the panorama of the world building ceramics industry, and promote the common 

development of the global building ceramic industry.

Subsequently, Mr. Zhong Yingzhou, expert member of the expert committee, Globalization Strategy 

Expert of Ceramics Industry, further interpreted this list, and shared some ideas for the globalization

of the industry from four aspects: Seeing, Planning, Deploying and Breaking. He said that Chinese

enterprises must be prepared for both domestic and foreign markets and guide business management

with global vision, changing the business philosophy from “global buying, Chinese manufacturing and

global selling” to “global buying, global manufacturing and global selling”. We must abandon the 

past situation of imitating and catching up, have the courage to surpass, develop more high-end products, 

and expand our market share in domestic and foreign high-end markets.

What will happen to the ceramics industry in 2023?

The ceramics industry is undergoing a major industrial adjustment. In order to help the industry find a 

way out, look forward to new opportunities in 2023, the event also invite several industrial experts such

as Mr. Nan Shunzhi, founder of Deer Tile, Mr. Zhong Lin, Director of the Domestic Marketing Department

of Keda, Mr. Peng Jichang, General Manager of New King Time, Mr. Liu Kui, General Manager of Inovance

well-known expert of ceramics industry to share in-depth insights on topics such as coping with channel

changes and helping companies reduce costs and increase efficiency so as to contribute wisdom to the

development of the industry.

improve efficiency, and enhance competitiveness. Only in this way can we "survive" and "live better" in

 2023. From 16 to 20 November, let us find the answer to reduce costs, increase efficiency and cross
