Look at the change of ceramic sanitary ware exports: foreign trade to domestic sales

In 2010, many ceramic sanitary ware companies were driven from the outside, and they needed to coordinate the internal and external changes.

In recent years, the financial crisis that has swept the world has caused China's export market to be weak. In 2010, two anti-dumping cases against Chinese ceramics, in particular the impact of anti-dumping measures by the European Union, increased the risk and uncertainty of the export market, coupled with the continuous increase in the value of exports, worsened the export situation, and the price of ceramic bathroom exports increased. The situation of falling bailouts and export-oriented ceramics enterprises are worrisome. In this unfavorable environment, a large number of export-oriented enterprises in many producing areas have moved to the domestic market and have achieved certain results. Among them, companies in Chaozhou, Foshan, and Shuikou are particularly prominent -

The brand's passion for the first year of the sword Chaozhou is China's largest sanitary ware production base, but also China's largest export volume of sanitary ceramics, ceramic exports once accounted for more than 80% of total production. However, in recent years, Chaozhou, which is dominated by the “exogenous” economy, has been affected by the reduction in the export tax rebate rate and the appreciation of the government, which has severely squeezed the profit margins of enterprises and caused frequent anti-dumping incidents and has inhibited the export of ceramic enterprises in Chaozhou. The enthusiasm led to a decline in the total volume of ceramic exports, but also led to the reduction of production and production suspension of some enterprises. In this situation, Chaozhou enterprises were forced to open up the domestic market in order to solve the business survival crisis.

To do domestic sales must be a brand, but all along, the brand-based Chaozhou ceramics companies lack the brand. In 2010, it was honored as Chaozhou ceramics brand in the industry in the first year. Chaoan County Government and Guxiang Ceramics Association organized a number of well-known sanitary enterprises in Chaozhou. Baotuan participated in the Shanghai Kitchen and Bathroom Show held in May and the Guangzhou Taowei Exhibition held in July, highlighting the strength and style of Chaozhou sanitary ceramics enterprises and demonstrating the Chaozhou bathroom The latest results of the products further enhance the brand awareness of the Chaozhou Sanitary Area; Dongzi Sanitary created a new symbol of the industry, and the unique exhibition halls of “Chuangyuan” in Nanjing, Shanghai, Qingdao, Nanning, Xuzhou and other places were completed and became a beautiful one in the industry. The landscape was welcomed by consumers; Zhang Tielin endorsed “Eurasian” and “Lofen” signed Yu Na; Doron, Seg, Polica, etc. invested heavily in the opening of marketing centers in Foshan, etc., all can see Chaozhou pottery The company's determination to flex its muscles in the domestic market.

Comments Chaozhou bathroom companies have always been mainly for export. In 2010, most brands started to attack the city in the domestic market, which was the most eye-catching in the industry. The popularity and reputation of the Chaozhou ceramics regional brand were greatly improved. The domestic and foreign export-oriented Chaozhou ceramic enterprises will go steadily and further.

From January to November 2010, Foshan ceramics exports reached US$2 billion, an increase of 36.5% over the same period of last year, and the growth rate was still good. However, good foreign trade performance can not prevent the determination of Foshan's exporting enterprises to make domestic sales. In the face of the complexity of the international market, instability, and increasingly thin profits of foundry companies, export companies have turned their attention to the domestic market with huge potential for development. .

On September 6, 2010, Asia Ceramics, Foshan's largest ceramics export company, successfully jumped onto the London Stock Exchange's Growth Enterprise Market and became the first ceramics company listed in London.

Comments Foshan ceramics is recognized as the largest ceramics producer in China, and the domestic market share is huge. In 2010, a number of powerful companies fought in the domestic market. These companies are currently in the stage of layout, but their potential should not be overlooked. As a result, the change in supply and demand in 2010 ranked second.

Intrinsic profound transfer to the mainland of Guangdong spread a ballad: the lighting of the ancient town, the Xiluo cloth, the mouth of the bathroom, Yangjiang knife. With only 80 square kilometers of Shuikou Town, the production and sales enterprises of the plumbing and sanitary ware industry have grown to more than 600 employees and employ more than 40,000 people.

The construction of this piece in the exhibition hall is more and more luxurious, and the investment is getting bigger and bigger. Basically, it is based on the one-to-one entity of home decoration. Construction. Scientific collocation, export and domestic sales are very important. According to our experience in entering the domestic market, it is appropriate to control 30-40% of the entire company's sales in specific export markets.

To move to the domestic market, we must first go ahead with our products. Enterprises should change their concepts, grasp the consumer trends in the leisure and sanitary ware market, and create suitable products. At the same time, we must establish a domestic sales professional team to develop channels and seize the market in the high-end leisure sanitary bath in China, and build brands together with dealers.
