Nowadays, the most decreasing decorative materials are stone material and ceramic on the market, both of which occupies a very important market share. There was some data indicated that the market share ratio ceramic and stone is 4:1, the ceramic accounts for the absolute advantage. However, the ceramic decorative materials market is shrinking year by year, and the status of the stone increases year by year, in which culture stone grew at 50% a year.

Compare with the stone material, the main advantage of ceramic is in thinner thickness, the price is lower, which can imitate the beauty of the design and color of natural stone material, the aberration and flaws are rare. But if the stone material can break through the defects of thick, done the same thickness as ceramics, that’s thin and ultra-thin stone, the stone of the use and development will be more on a floor.

Stone materials include marble, culture stone, etc. And culture stone includes natural culture stone and artificial culture stone. And marble slab is larger of the price in rising space. Culture stone is on the customers' demand for exterior decoration soar.

Natural stone material has the property of non-renewable resources, therefore, as demand growth and the growing shortage of resources, natural stone products have greater appreciation of space, but the natural culture stone can't meet the rules of the needs of customers, artificial culture stone gradually replace the natural culture stone trends.

In recent years, the dosage of the average annual growth rate for the stone material is not less than 10%, and the stone material dosage is increasing year by year trend. The consumption of stone material in China has been among the world top, projects under construction are also many, in the last few years.

If the thin and ultra-thin stone in our country can rapid development, which will expand the application scope of stone, such as access to high-level office buildings, commercial centers, residential building, it will be a very big market. Like a stone slab production in China before all kinds of natural stone material is 12 mm to 20 mm, while the thickness of the ceramic is commonly 6 mm ~ 12 mm, compared to the same area of natural stone material and ceramic plate, weighing more than 2 ~ 3 times, thus affecting the stone decoration bearing problems in high-rise buildings, this is also why long-term natural stone material cannot be decorated into high-rise buildings is an important reason. Make stone plate, the unit under the resource consumption can produce more stone plank, relative to the current domestic machining level, the cost can reduce a lot, so as to enter the ordinary family decoration market. Today first artificial culture stone can solve the problem of high-rise bearing. Generally, the culture stone can stick 12 floors of all buildings, so as to solve the bearing stone material, the more big development space of artificial culture stone.

According to the introduction of expert, so from the defect of stone material itself: natural stone plate thickness thinning, reduce the weight of per unit area, reduce the unit price, to adapt to the general public consumption level and enlarge the range of stone material, will become the important factor of the stone development, light-weight, ultra-thin and artificial culture stone is solved these two important questions.
