概述
2023 年,全球人造石市場規模達到 233 億美元,預計到 2031 年將達到 350 億美元,2024-2031 年預測期間複合年成長率為 5.2%。
近年來,可自訂選項的增加已成為人造石行業的主要標誌之一。隨著消費者變得更加挑剔,生產商擴大了產品範圍,包括各種尺寸、形狀和設計圖案。一些生產商也推出了工廠客製化服務,讓人們獲得工廠製造的獨特、獨一無二的寶石。
隨著許多西方政府衛生機構認真考慮禁止使用人造石,全球市場可能會受到重大震動。此舉將徹底重新調整需求動態,以有利於新興國家。市場需要很多年才能從已開發國家的銷售損失中恢復過來。
動力學
房屋裝修率上升
過去幾年,房屋裝修率穩定上升。在疫情封鎖期間,隨著人們將精力投入更具創意的任務上,房屋裝修變得更加流行。哈佛大學住房中心聯合中心的資料顯示,2022年美國消費者用於房屋裝修和改善的支出超過4,720億美元,2023年進一步成長至4,850億美元。
家居裝修為屋主創造了現代化室內裝飾的機會。鑑於全球住宅房地產市場的波動以及一些西方市場新房銷售的下降,大部分新石材檯面銷售發生在裝修期間的現有房屋中。已開發市場(平均房屋使用年限超過 10 年)的房屋翻新率上升,將成為預測期內推動市場成長的關鍵因素。
新興市場對新型家居裝修材料的需求
儘管西方國家出於健康考量正在考慮禁止人造石;新興市場的需求穩定成長。隨著中產階級可支配收入的增加,他們需要更多優質的家居裝飾選擇。此外,許多發展中國家的健康和安全法規寬鬆,因此並未受到西方國家禁令的影響。
大品牌預計大部分銷售額將來自對新興市場的出口。在 2024 年 3 月的投資者電話會議上,韓國人造石製造商現代 L&C 宣布了在中國和印度快速擴張的計劃。該公司也透露,出口銷售佔其收入的40%,到本世紀末將成長50%以上。
人們越來越擔心健康危害
2015 年至2019 年間,家居裝修工人反覆爆發矽肺病和其他肺部疾病後,科學家們首次開始擔心人造石對健康的危害。了一項全面研究。
Ramkisson博士的研究發現,除了矽之外,這些石頭的研磨、切割和拋光過程中還產生了許多其他有毒物質,例如苯乙烯。 2024 年 4 月,美國洛杉磯市議員委託舉行聽證會,討論禁止在該市的建築工程中使用人造石頭。隨著越來越嚴重的健康危害證據的出現,人造石市場未來將面臨一段艱難的成長時期。
Overview
Global Engineered Stone Market reached US$ 23.3 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 35.0 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
An increase in customizable options has become one of the key hallmarks of the engineered stone industry in recent years. With consumers becoming more discerning, producers have expanded their product range to include various sizes, shapes and design patterns. Some producers have also introduced factory customization, which allows people to get unique, one-of-a-kind stones made in the factory.
With many western government health agencies seriously contemplating banning the usage of engineered stones, the global market could receive a major jolt. Such a move will completely reorient demand dynamics in favor of emerging countries. The market will take many years to recover from the loss of sales in developed countries.
Dynamics
Rising Rates of Home Renovations
Home improvement rates have steadily increased over the past few years. Home improvements become more popular during the pandemic lockdowns as people channeled their energies to more creative tasks. The Joint Center for Housing Centers of Harvard University's data revealed that consumer spending on home renovations and improvements in U.S. topped US$ 472 billion in 2022 and further grew to US$ 485 billion in 2023.
Home renovations create opportunities for home owners to modernize their interiors. Given the volatility in global residential real estate market and decline in new home sales in some western markets, the majority of new stone countertop sales are occurring in existing homes during renovations. Rising rates of home renovations in developed markets, where the average house age is more than 10 years, will be a key factor in driving market growth over the forecast period.
Demands for New Home Improvement Materials in Emerging Markets
Even as western countries are contemplating ban on engineered stones due to health concerns; demand has steadily increased in emerging markets. As the disposable incomes of middle class increases, they demand more premium home decor options. Furthermore, many developing countries have lax health and safety regulations and hence remained unaffected by bans in western countries.
Large brands are projecting that majority of sales will be derived from exports to emerging markets. During an investors call in March 2024, Hyundai L&C, a South Korean manufacturer of engineered stones, announced plans to expand rapidly in China and India. The company also revealed that export sales accounted for 40% of their revenue and will rise over 50% by the end of the decade.
Growing Concerns About Health Hazards
Scientists first became concerned about the health hazards of engineered stones following repeated outbreaks of silicosis and other lung diseases among home fitting workers between 2015 and 2019. In July 2023, following a comprehensive study, Dr, Chandnee Ramkissoon, from University of Adelaide Institute of Public Health in Australia, presented an official recommendation to Safe Work Australia to completely ban the sale and production of engineered stones.
Dr. Ramkisson's research found that apart from silicon, many other toxic substances such as styrene were generated by the grinding, cutting and polishing of these stones. In April 2024, members of the LA city council in U.S. commissioned a hearing about the banning engineered stones from the city's construction work. Following increasingly serious evidence of health hazards, the engineered stone market is poised for a period of difficult growth in the future.
The global engineered stone market is segmented based on type, application and region.
Block and Slabs Continue to Remain Popular With Consumers
Blocks and slabs continue to remain the favorite choice of consumers, given the fact that they are mostly used for increasing the aesthetical value of kitchen countertops. With more people undertaking home renovations, companies have responded by expanding their range of customizable slab designs to provide better choice for consumers.
Engineered stone tiles have relatively fewer demand from consumers, since it is mainly used for bathroom, walls and floor decoration. The higher material and installation costs means that it is relegated to high-income consumers. Despite this, many stone manufacturers are actively introducing new design patterns and customizations.
North America to Garner the Largest Market Share
Given the large concentration of high-income households in U.S., North America continues to be the largest market for engineered stone. For many of the world's largest stone manufacturers, North America remains the top export destination. The growth in demand is coming not just from new home construction, but also renovation and upgradation of existing homes. Producers are focusing their attention towards the higher end of the market, by launching new luxury designs for countertops.
However, in the coming years, the North America market could witness a major downturn in sales, following backlash from the medical community about its health hazards. U.S. researchers have found that silicosis from exposure to engineered stone dust happens much faster and affects people quicker. The U.S. state of California's Occupational Safety & Health Standards Board approved emergency regulations in December 2023 which prohibit the dry cutting of engineered stones. The measures were approved to stall rising cases of silicosis among industrial workers in the state.
The COVID-19 pandemic created many challenges for the global engineered stone market. The supply of quartz was jeopardized due to lockdowns restrictions. Even as some mines remained open, production stagnated due to labor shortages. Many producers had to rely on existing inventory to keep production going.
The difficult economic conditions brought forth by the pandemic led to the bankruptcy of many small and medium players in the market. The pandemic has led to the consolidation of the global market in favor of established players. One unintended side effect of this has been the reduction of price volatility in the market.
The initial months of the post-pandemic period witnessed an explosion of pent-up demand for engineered stones. Many people had taken up home renovation projects during the lockdown months and hence spend liberally on acquiring new decor. The post-pandemic period was highly beneficial for the global market.
The engineered stone market in Russia was completely disrupted in the months following the start of the war in Ukraine. As western countries imposed sanctions on Russia, the imports of engineered stones dried up. Many distributors raised prices on their existing stock due to the anticipated shortfall in supply.
Many local distributors were forced to import stones from China to fulfill domestic demand. However, many consumers found out that the Chinese stones lacked the quality and finish of western manufacturers. A few months into the war, the supply of western-made stones was restored through international grey markets.
The major global players in the market include LX Hausys, Technistone s.r.o, Cosentino Global, Belenco, Guidoni, Santa Margherita, Stone Italiana S. P. A, H & R Johnson, Caesarstone Ltd and Vicostone.
