The international stone markets include: Japan, U.S., EU (European) market and the Middle East market. Below we will introduce several specific characteristics of the different market
First: Japan
Stone building materials market in Japan is
divided into two categories: Wholesale market and project demand
1. The wholesale market
for the standard plate
The wholesale market
always sell the normal and easy finish style, most of the small factories can
meet the demand, so the market is competition, profits have been minimal.
2. The stone for the
project
Quality requirement is
very strict when everything deals with the projects. Do not accept the order if your quality can
not meet the demand of Japan, or your factory will close. Even you can do well
at 99%. If you can not do well 100%, the
Japanese will ask for compensate more than 100%.
Second: American Stone Market
American stone market is divided
into three categories:
1. Big slab market
2. Countertop and vanity top market
3. Stone project
Big slab market is a
very huge stone market, the local people cut them according to the customers’
special demand. Mainly for home floor, step and countertop.
Countertop and vanity
top is very special in American, because
they are standard. American like everything easy and can produce in a large
scale, the countertop in one of them.
American like nature color, so for project is much easy than Japan,
but you need to meet them first, so that you will have the opportunity to get
the project. Go to America to visit the fair to invite them to visit factory is
two of the good idea.
Third: European Stone Market
Third: European Stone Market
European stone market is similar with Japan market, and can be
divided into wholesale market and the project market.
Let’s go to projects market directly
because the wholesale is no much different with Japan.
European company always buy the stone from Italy, because Italy is famous with
the good quality sculpture. In recently because the economic is not good, and Italy
manufacture capital can not meet the demand, so more and more turn to China
market.
Take care of the size and design, keep the products nature
color, I think you can finish the order
well.
Fourth in the Middle East Stone Market
Oil, yes because Oil,
so Middle east market is very special. You can sell the very low price and bad
quality with large quantity to this market, but low profit. If you want to get
good project, you need to have office there, The local people work go slowly,
and if you can do them by yourself, it would be very good for them. So Set a
office there, and take your worker worker there, you can find a very big
market.
