Alternatives are emerging, high-end decorative protagonists are still stone
**Abstract**
Is it only ceramic companies that are competing with natural stone for market share? The answer is no. Products such as artificial stone and composite materials are also entering the market, challenging traditional natural stone. At this year’s Xiamen Stone Exhibition, Pengxiang Industrial, a pioneer in the artificial stone industry in Nanning, introduced its new product, “Yi Shi Tong†inorganic quartz stone. According to He Jiahe, the company’s business manager, this product is ideal for curtain wall decoration and is made from inorganic materials, offering fire resistance and weather resistance.
In recent years, the artificial stone industry in Nanning has experienced rapid growth. Companies like Sansheng Stone Industry, Aoli Stone Industry, and Sanli Stone Industry have all entered the market, leading to a surge in artificial stone enterprises—there are now dozens of such companies in the city. Additionally, new types of artificial culture stone and artificial jade have emerged, further segmenting the market and intensifying competition with natural stone.
Industry experts believe that the rise of man-made composite materials is also affecting the natural stone sector. These materials are often combined with light-transparent jade or glass to create high-hardness composites suitable for flooring in bars and other commercial spaces.
**Alternatives to Natural Stone**
Natural stone has long been favored for its elegant and luxurious appearance, making it a popular choice in interior design. However, it also comes with several drawbacks. Song Hua, a market manager, noted that imitation stone products have emerged to address these shortcomings by combining strengths.
Huang Zhongfan pointed out that the high price of natural stone is one of the main barriers to its widespread use in residential settings. For example, a marble tile called “Star Milky Way†costs about 15,000 yuan per square meter, while regular marble tiles are half the price. Another major concern is the perceived radioactivity of natural stone, which has become a key point of criticism from new material manufacturers.
At the 2013 World Stone Congress, a representative from an Xiamen construction company mentioned that clients often reject natural stone due to worries about its radioactivity. However, Piero Primmavori, an Italian stone consultant, stated that there is no need for concern. His research with Italian universities showed that the radioactivity levels in most stones are extremely low and do not pose a health risk.
**Natural Stone Still Dominates High-End Decor**
Despite the emergence of ceramic tiles, microcrystalline stone, artificial stone, and various composite materials, many industry leaders still believe that natural stone remains the top choice for high-end decoration. Kang Wenqi, general manager of Kangli Stone, said that even if these alternatives look realistic, they are not the same as real stone. Customers who value luxury and quality will continue to prefer natural stone, regardless of its cost.
Guo Jingwei, secretary general of the Provincial Stone Industry Association, acknowledged that new materials will always emerge, but he remains confident in the enduring position of natural stone in the premium market. Most industry insiders agree that while alternative materials have their own advantages, they cannot fully replace natural stone at this stage.
Some industry insiders noted that although 3D inkjet technology has improved ceramic tiles, they still cannot fully replicate the texture of real stone. Artificial stone may offer good simulation, but its technology is not yet mature, leading to issues like uneven patterns. New materials bring changes to the home improvement market, but replacing natural stone will require continuous innovation.
Additionally, some inferior tiles and artificial stone products may release harmful gases, posing potential health risks. As a result, the quality of materials is a critical factor in consumer choices.
In conclusion, industry leaders suggest that stone companies should focus on strengthening their internal capabilities, improving product quality, and increasing added value in the high-end market. They also recommend learning from the marketing strategies of ceramic companies to better enter the home improvement and retail markets.
