China’s Tile Industry Embraces Triple Upgrade; International Expo to Unveil New Ecosystem

---

The China International Premium Ceramics Expo will launch at Beijing’s Shougang Exhibition Center on October 30, 2025. For the first time, the expo expands to include “Smart Sanitary & Building Ceramics” and “Specialty Ceramics Industrial Chain” zones, covering high-end, intelligent, and green ecosystems to integrate “tradition and future, art and technology”.

Market Momentum: Consumer demand remains robust. A newly opened flagship store in North China achieved 1.5 million RMB sales within 20 days, with immersive design spaces attracting over 100 orders, highlighting premium aesthetics as a key growth driver. Policy incentives like Zhengzhou’s $6.9 million home renovation subsidies—covering tiles and sanitary ware—further stimulate the market, offering up to 20,000 RMB for whole-house upgrades.

Tech Breakthroughs: Material innovation leads competition. A newly disclosed “hydrophilic self-cleaning glaze” patent combines boron-magnesium powder and titanium dioxide to enhance stain resistance, addressing cost and durability challenges. In auxiliary materials, carbon-fiber tile adhesive boosts crack resistance by 70%, withstanding extreme temperatures (-30°C to 80°C), crucial for renovation projects.

Industry Outlook: The expo will host forums on smart production and global ceramic art exchanges, spotlighting 3D printing, AI quality inspection, and zero-carbon combustion to advance industrial productivity
