“The market is educating us. If we can handle it correctly, adjust development ideas, and establish a sustainable economic growth model, China's ceramic industry will be more competitive and speak in the international market.” In response to the EU anti-dumping case against Chinese tiles, A few days ago, the vice president of China Building Sanitary Ceramics Association, Qi Bin, said in an interview with the author. Yan Bin said that apart from the factors of international economic and trade changes behind anti-dumping, regardless of the foreign market or the domestic market, China's building ceramics industry should reflect on the path of industry development at this moment.

Industrial transformation is fundamental
According to reports, China's building ceramics industry has encountered anti-dumping investigations from India as early as 2003, followed by South Korea and other countries. The incident, which is called "the largest ceramic anti-dumping in history" by the domestic industry, is currently entering the EU sample survey stage.

In Qi Bin’s view, the main reason for the EU’s anti-dumping against China is that it is affected by the international financial crisis, and the EU counterparts have to take a self-help. Regardless of the outcome, Yan Bin believes that anti-dumping is actually temporary for China, but it reflects the deep-seated problems in the development of China's building ceramics industry and has to cause the industry to think. If the anti-dumping is a "standard", then A deeper level of industry development is "this." If it is not necessary to treat both the symptoms and the root causes, it is difficult for the industry to get out of the anti-dumping cycle.

What is the most fundamental and deep-seated problem in the development of the industry?

Yan Bin said, "Energy saving and emission reduction is the top priority for the development of China's ceramic industry."

He analyzed that the ceramic industry is a high-energy, high-pollution industry. In the past, the industry mainly relied on low-cost expansion to achieve scale. Among them, resources and labor are used at low prices, and pollution investment is low or no one pays.

According to estimates, the annual energy consumption of Chinese ceramics production is equivalent to more than 30 million tons of coal, and the consumption of mineral raw materials is about 200 million tons. The comprehensive energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of output value of the ceramic industry is higher than the national average. Some ceramic enterprises not only consume a lot of resources and energy, but also cause pollution of water, air and the surrounding environment.

In other words, this industry consumes a large amount of energy, non-renewable precious resources, affects the ecological environment, and superimposes factors such as the use of low-cost labor, providing a large number of inexpensive products for the international and domestic markets. This kind of payment has been labeled as a low-priced "dumping" label, which has become the target of others' attacks.

Now, the international low-carbon trend is surging. In China, the central government has clearly listed energy conservation as the focus of current and future work. Yan Bin said, “If we rely on the original low-cost expansion, low-cost competition, no Focusing on energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection, the entire industry will be forced into a dead end."

Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to find a domain. Yan Bin said that through the two domestic and international markets, the transformation and upgrading of China's building ceramics industry is imminent. The anti-dumping should be regarded as a mechanism to force the whole industry to transfer to a new round of industrial upgrading as soon as possible.
