GHANI CERAMICS (PAKISTAN) DOUBLES CAPACITY WITH SACMI

Sacmi has taken its partnership with Ghani Ceramics (Pakistan) to the next level by providing a second FCC kiln to produce large-size ceramic tiles. With a length of 359.9 meters and an effective inter-column clearance of 2,950 mm, this is the largest and most efficient kiln ever to operate at the customer’s plant in Lahore and is set to produce 25,000 m²/day of porcelain tiles.

The new kiln will be fed by two Sacmi PHC 8200 ‘Red Edition’ presses, the most powerful in the range: compared to the previous generation of machines, these boost productivity by 20% and reduce consumption.

This project is a key part of Ghani’s growth strategy, which looks to expand the product and size ranges for both the domestic and export markets. The integration of the new line - which has higher-tonnage presses and one of Pakistan’s longest roller kilns - will boost both volumes and versatility, with a focus on the 60x120, 75x150, 80x160 and even the 90x180 cm formats.

The new line joins its forerun-

ner, which has been operating successfully at Ghani Ceramics for years. The key technologies of the first plant were also supplied by Sacmi, including two PHC 4300 presses and a 201-meter FCC kiln with an output capacity of 13,000 m²/day. Consistent and repeatable quality, simplified management and maintenance and outstanding reliability are Sacmi hallmarks, as Ghani’s renewed pursuit of growth goals demonstrates.

Active in several industriessuch as mining, glass, agri-food and construction - the Ghani Group is thus making a decisive investment to strengthen its ceramic division.

“Adopting this new manufacturing architecture is a decisive step for us: it aligns with the Group’s expansion strategy, focuses on expanding the size range and raises the quality of our products,” points out Aftab Ghani, Managing Director of Ghani Group of Industries With the addition of this new kiln, Ghani Ceramics has become the biggest manufacturer of floor tiles in Pakistan. This co-developed project saw the two technical teams collaborate closely. The result: operational continuity and maximum integration with existing plants.

reality. Reliability, control and innovation are the pillars on which the Italian company builds its solutions. Syneco lubricants are more than just products: they are predictive engineering tools designed to deliver maximum effi-

ciency and uninterrupted operation in industrial plants. These results are achieved through advanced monitoring, predictive maintenance and continuous optimisation.

Advanced monitoring: every

10,000 hours of operation, Syneco carries out tribological and metallographic analyses and chemical evaluations of the oil to determine the real condition of both components and lubricants. Predictive maintenance: by con-

tinuously monitoring key parameters, early signs of wear are detected, allowing for targeted interventions that minimise downtime and eliminate emergency repairs.

Continuous optimisation: Syneco compares performance data from individual machines over time, identifying and recommending technical improvements that increase production efficiency and operational reliability.

This approach is illustrated perfectly by one customer’s experience in which a monitoring programme launched in 2003 has kept the plant running for more than 20 years and over 108,000 operating hours with just one oil change at around 50,000 hours. Today, the plant is still fully oper-

THE EU COMMISSION PROPOSES INCREASE IN ANTI-DUMPING DUTIES ON

CHINESE TABLEWARE

In an official statement, Confindustria Ceramica has expressed its support for the European Commission’s proposal to increase anti-dumping duties on imports of ceramic tableware from China. According to the association, which represents all sectors of Italian ceramic production, including tableware and porcelain, “this measure is essential to combat unfair practices that create anti-competitive distortions and have been damaging European manufacturing for years, resulting in the closure of more than 60 companies and the loss of nearly 10,000 jobs across Europe.”

The issue of anti-dumping duties in the tableware sector is not new. First introduced by the EU in 2012-2013, they were renewed in 2019 following an investigation that revealed the persistence of unfair practices, including attempts to circumvent duties by rerouting exports through third countries.

The latest investigation, conducted in 2025 in accordance with WTO rules, led the Commission to propose an anti-dumping duty of 79%, significantly higher than the current rate of between 13.1% and 36.1%. This decision follows the discovery of astonishingly

high levels of dumping among Chinese imports (as high as 446.5%).

According to Confindustria Ceramica: “Failing to stop Chinese dumping would mean encouraging a business model based on importing products sold at prices that are incompatible with European industrial costs.” The statement notes that the proposed duty protects not only European tableware manufacturers and the skilled jobs they provide, but also the entire supply chain, an ecosystem that includes artistic ceramics, design firms, ceramic pigments, advanced tecnological processes and suppliers of precious metals for decoration, which together employ around 5,000 people.

As Confindustria Ceramica board member Amedeo Sala points out, “An industrial model built on economic, social and environmental dumping threatens to hollow out our manufacturing base and lead to a loss of expertise. Furthermore, the disappearance of Italian and European production would ultimately deprive consumers of the ability to choose within a truly competitive market.”

欧盟委员会提议提高中国 陶瓷餐具反倾销税

在一份正式声明中， 意大利陶瓷工业联合会

(Confindustria Ceramica)

对欧盟委员会提议提高自中

国进口陶瓷餐具反倾销税的 提案表示支持。该协会代表 意大利陶瓷全产业链（含餐 具与瓷器板块），称：“此 项措施对于打击造成反竞争 市场扭曲、多年来损害欧洲 制造业的不公平贸易行为至 关重要。这些行为已导致欧 洲超过 60 家企业倒闭，近 1 万个工作岗位流失。” 餐具行业的反倾销税问题并 非首次出现。欧盟于 20122013 年首次对中国陶瓷餐 具开征反倾销税，2019 年 经调查确认不公平贸易行为 持续存在后予以续期，调查 同时发现部分企业通过转口 第三国等方式规避关税。

欧盟委员会依据世界贸易组 织 (WTO) 规则于 2025 年开 展最新调查后，提议将反倾 销税率上调至 79%，远高于 现行 13.1%-36.1% 的税率 区间。这一决定源于调查发 现中国进口产品存在幅度惊 人的倾销行为（倾销幅度高 达 446.5%）。

意大利陶瓷工业联合会 (Confindustria Ceramica) 表示：“若不遏制中国的倾 销行为，就等于纵容一种以 低于欧洲工业成本的价格进 口产品的商业模式。” 声明指出，拟议税率不仅保 护欧洲餐具制造商及其提供 的技术工种岗位，更覆盖整 个供应链生态 —— 包括艺 术陶瓷企业、设计公司、陶 瓷颜料供应商、先进工艺技 术服务商及装饰用贵金属供 应商，全产业链从业人员约 5,000 人。

正如意大利陶瓷工业 联合会 (Confindustria Ceramica) 理事 Amedeo Sala 所指出的：“建立在 经济、社会及环境倾销基 础上的工业模式，有可能掏 空我们的制造业根基，并导 致行业专业技能的流失。此 外，意大利及欧洲本土产能 的消失，最终将剥夺消费者 在真正竞争充分的市场中的 选择权。”

世界陶瓷砖产量与消费

WORLD PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION OF CERAMIC TILES

Luca Baraldi - MECS / Centro Studi Acimac (l.baraldi@mecs.org)

© exclusive content

The 13th edition of the study “World production and consumption of ceramic tiles” produced by MECS / Acimac Research Centre was published in October.

The study runs to almost 300 pages of charts, tables and commentary, and examines in detail the ten-year trend to 2024 for the industry, the market, per capita consumption and import-export flows, both by macro-region and for the 76 largest tile producing, consuming, exporting and importing countries.

For each country there is also an in-depth breakdown of import and export volumes by product type: porcelain stoneware, single-fired and double-fired tiles, and other materials

研究的第 13 版 《世界陶瓷砖产量与消费》由 MECS/Acimac Research Centre（Acimac 研究中心）制作，已于十月出版。该研究近 300 页，包含图表、表格和评述，详细审视了截至 2024 年的十年行业趋势、市场情况、人均消费以及进出 口流向，既按大经济区划分，也涵盖 76 个最大的 瓷砖生 产、消费、出口和进口国家/地区。

对于每个国家/地区，还按产品类型对进出口量进 行了深入细分：瓷质石材、单烧和双烧瓷砖及其他 材料。

Overall, the global ceramic industry and market continued to experience a downturn in 2024, following the negative trends observed in 2022-2023.

The persistent economic slowdown and international geopolitical tensions further cooled global tile demand and resulted in another contraction in worldwide production and trade volumes, with percentage declines slightly worse than in 2023.

WORLD MANUFACTURING AREAS

总体而言，继 2022–2023 年的负面趋势之后，全 球陶瓷行业和市场在 2024 年继续出现下行。持续 的经济放缓和国际地缘政治紧张进一步抑制了全 球瓷砖需求，导致全球产量和贸易量再次收缩，降 幅略高于 2023 年。

WORLD CONSUMPTION AREAS

World tile production fell to 14,950 million sqm in 2024, 6.2% down on the 15,937 million sqm in 2023. Although almost all regions experienced a decline in production, the vast majority of the 987 million sqm contraction occurred in Asia and North Africa. Asia’s output fell 6.5%, from 11.6 to 10.9 billion sqm, equivalent to 72.8% of global production. China saw a contraction of 820 million sqm, partially offset by a recovery of more than 100 million sqm in Vietnam. Europe produced 1,615 million sqm (10.9% of the world total). Thanks to a rebound in Spain, the European Union posted a modest 1.4% growth in output (from 1,039 to 1,054 million sqm), still far from offsetting the 18% contraction of 2023. Production in non-EU Europe dropped to 561 million sqm (-8.8%), largely due to a lower output in Turkey. Production in the American continent also fell, dropping to 1,428 million sqm. North America saw a decline in output from 349 to 328 million sqm (-6%), while production in Central and South America slipped to 1,100 million sqm, a decrease of 2.1%. Finally, production in Africa saw its first contraction after more than a decade of growth, dropping from 1,178 to 1,025 million sqm (-13%). This was attributable to the sharp decline in Egypt and, to a lesser extent, in Algeria, while output in the Sub-Saharan area maintained 2023 levels.

Global tile consumption followed a similar pattern, falling from 15,621 million sqm in 2023 to 14,552 million sqm in 2024 (-6.8%). All areas contracted, once again with the exception of the European Union, which saw 1% growth to 839 million sqm. Consumption declined slightly in Central and South America (1,205 million sqm; -0.9%), in North America (542 million sqm; -1.6%), and in non-EU Europe (623 million sqm; -2%). The decrease was much more pronounced in Africa (1,227 million sqm; -14.3%) and, above all, in Asia, where demand fell from 10.9 to 10.0 billion sqm (-7.7%), accounting for 69% of global consumption.

In 2024, world exports also fell for the third consecutive year with a decline of 2.5% (essentially repeating the -2.4% of 2023).

A total of 2,674 million sqm of ceramic tiles were exported worldwide, 69 million sqm less than the previous year. This drop is almost entirely attributable to Asia (down from 1,539 to 1,472 million sqm; -4.3%), which in effect means China and India. By contrast, exports from other areas remained substantially unchanged. Exports from the European Union

全球瓷砖产量在 2024 年降至 149.50 亿平方米，较 2023 年的 159.37 亿平方米下降 6.2%。尽管几乎所 有地区的产量都有所下降，但收缩的 9.87 亿平方米产 量绝大部分发生在亚洲和北非。亚洲产量下降 6.5% ，从 116 亿降至 109 亿平方米，占全球产量的 72.8% 。中国产量收缩了 8.2 亿平方米，部分被越南超过 1 亿平方米的恢复所抵消。欧洲生产了 16.15 亿平方米 （占世界总量的 10.9%）。得益于西班牙的反弹， 欧 盟的产量实现了 1.4% 的温和增长（从 10.39 亿增 加到 10.54 亿平方米），但仍远未抵消 2023 年 18% 的收缩。非欧盟欧洲地区的产量降至 5.61 亿平方米 (-8.8%)，主要是由于土耳其产量下降。美洲大陆的产 量也有所下降，降至 14.28 亿平方米。北美的产量从 3.49 亿降至 3.28 亿平方米 (-6%)，而中美洲和南美洲 的产量下降至 11.00 亿平方米，减少 2.1%。最后，非 洲在超过十年的增长后首次出现收缩，产量从 11.78 亿降至 10.25 亿平方米 (-13%)。这主要归因于埃及的 急剧下降，以及阿尔及利亚较小程度的下降，而撒哈 拉以南地区的产量维持在 2023 年的水平。

全球瓷砖消费呈现出类似的格局，从 2023 年的 156.21 亿平方米降至 2024 年的 145.52 亿平方米 (-6.8%）。所有地区均出现收缩，再次只有 欧盟例外， 该地区消费增长 1%，达到 8.39 亿平方米。中美洲 和南美洲 的消费略有下降（12.05 亿平方米；-0.9%） ，北美（5.42 亿平方米；-1.6%）以及非欧盟欧洲地区 （6.23 亿平方米；-2%）也有所下降。降幅在 非洲更为 显著（12.27 亿平方米；-14.3%），尤其是在 亚洲，需 求从 109 降至 100 亿平方米 (-7.7%)，占全球消费的 69%。

在 2024 年，世界出口也连续第三年下降，降幅为 2.5%（基本重演了 2023 年的 -2.4%）。

全球共出口瓷砖 26.74 亿平方米，比前一年少 6900 万平方米。这一下降几乎完全归因于亚洲（从 15.39 降至 14.72 亿平方米；-4.3%），实际上主要是中国和

dropped from 770 to 768 million sqm (-0.2%); Central and South America from 138 to 132 million sqm (-4.2%); North America from 43 to 39 million sqm (-10.8%); and Africa from 121 to 111 million sqm (-7.9%). One positive exception was the recovery in exports from non-EU Europe (from 132 to 151 million sqm; +14.7%), driven by the strong performance of Turkey.

With regard to the export propensity of the various continents or macro-regions, the European Union remained the area with the highest export share in 2024 at 73% of its production. All the other areas lagged well behind: non-EU Europe exported 27% of its output volumes, Asia 13.5%, North and South America both 12% and Africa 10.8%.

The trend in import/export flows confirms the tendency for tiles to be produced close to markets. World exports accounted for 17.9% of global production and 18.4% of global consumption, with 61.9% of exports remaining within the same geographical area as production (80.2% of South American exports stayed in South America; 80.7% of North American exports remained within the NAFTA area; 64.7% of Asian exports were shipped to Asian countries; 91.5% of African exports remained in Africa). The European Union remained a partial exception, shipping 46.1% of its exports to non-EU markets. This is confirmed by a comparison between each continent’s contribution to global tile production and consumption, which shows that the values are essentially aligned: Asia represents 72.8% of production and 69.2% of consumption; Europe (EU + non-EU) 10.9% and 10.1% respectively; the Americas 9.6% and 12%; and Africa 6.9% and 8.4%.

China, the world’s largest producer, consumer and exporter of ceramic tiles, saw its production and sales decline in 2023 for the third consecutive year. According to the China Building and Sanitary Ceramics Association, lower domestic demand (5.3 billion sqm; down 13% on 2023) forced the industry to reduce its output to 5.9 billion sqm (-12.2% compared to 6.7 billion in 2023), against an installed capacity of 12.2 billion sqm.

WORLD EXPORTING AREAS

印度。相比之下，其他地区的出口基本保持不变。来 自欧盟的出口从 7.70 降至 7.68 亿平方米 (-0.2%)； 中美洲和南美洲从 1.38 降至 1.32 亿平方米 (-4.2%) ；北美 从 4300 降至 3900 万平方米 (-10.8%)；以及 非洲从 1.21 降至 1.11 亿平方米 (-7.9%)。一个积极 的例外是来自非欧盟欧洲 的出口回升（从 1.32 增至 1.51 亿平方米；+14.7%），这主要由土耳其的强劲表 现推动。

关于各大洲或大经济区的出口倾向，2024 年欧盟 仍然是出口份额最高的地区，其出口占本区产量的 73%。所有其他地区远远落后：非欧盟欧洲地区出 口占其产量的 27%，亚洲 13.5%，北美和南美均为 12%，非洲为 10.8%。

进出口流向的趋势证实了瓷砖生产趋向于靠近市场 的倾向。世界出口占全球产量的 17.9% 和全球消费 的 18.4%，其中 61.9% 的出口留在与生产相同的地 理区域（80.2% 的南美出口留在南美；80.7% 的北美 出口留在北美自由贸易区；64.7% 的亚洲出口运往亚 洲国家；91.5% 的非洲出口留在非洲）。欧盟在这方 面部分例外，其 46.1% 的出口销往非欧盟市场。

通过比较各大洲对全球瓷砖产量和消费的贡献可以 证实这一点，结果显示这些数值基本一致：亚洲占 产量的 72.8% 和消费的 69.2%；欧洲（欧盟 + 非欧 盟）分别为 10.9% 和 10.1%；美洲为 9.6% 和 12%； 非洲为 6.9% 和 8.4%。

中国，作为世界上最大的陶瓷瓷砖生产国、消费国和 出口国，其 2023 年的产量和销量连续第三年下降。 据中国建筑卫生陶瓷协会称，国内需求下降（53 亿 平方米；比 2023 年下降 13%）迫使行业将产量降至 59 亿平方米（比 2023 年的 67 亿下降 12.2%），而 装机产能为 122 亿平方米。活跃企业数量也有所减 少，从 1,022 家降至 938 家。

2024 年，中国出口降至 6 亿平方米 (-2.5%)，相当于 世界出口的 22.4%，且越来越多地运往亚洲目的地 （4.425 亿平方米；较 2023 年 +0.9%）。中国陶瓷行 业前 20 大海外市场中有 14 个位于亚洲，主要为菲 律宾、印度尼西亚、韩国、马来西亚和泰国。在澳大 利亚——中国的第六大市场，且中国所占市场份额 约为 75%——销量上升至 3300 万平方米。中国对 拉丁美洲的出口下降（6600 万平方米；较 2023 年 -11%）、对非洲的出口下降（3400 万平方米；-29%） 以及对欧洲的出口下降（800 万平方米）。2025 年 上半年，中国出口量进一步下降 3.9%（2.71 亿平方 米），出口额下降 11.6%（15.1 亿美元），平均价格为 每平方米 5.56 美元。

The number of active companies also declined, dropping from 1,022 to 938.

In 2024, Chinese exports fell to 600 million sqm (-2.5%), equivalent to 22.4% of world exports and increasingly shipped to destinations in Asia (442.5 million sqm; +0.9% on 2023). Fourteen of the Chinese ceramic industry’s top 20 foreign markets are in Asia, led by the Philippines, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia and Thailand. In Australia, China’s sixth-largest market and one in which it holds a market share of around 75%, sales rose to 33 million sqm. China saw a decline in exports to Latin America (66 million sqm; -11% on 2023), Africa (34 million sqm; -29%) and Europe (8 million sqm). In the first half of 2025, Chinese exports experienced a further fall of 3.9% in volume (271 million sqm) and 11.6% in value ($1.51 billion), with an average price of $5.56/sqm.

In 2024, India maintained its position as the world’s second largest tile producer and consumer. Domestic production fell by 2% to 2.4 billion sqm, reflecting a decline both in domestic consumption (1,620 million sqm; -4.7%) and in exports, which dropped from 589 to 525 million sqm (-10.9%). Export revenues declined to about €2 billion, while average price remained stable at €3.8/sqm.

In 2024, Asian markets continued to absorb the largest share of Indian exports: 216 million sqm (-13%), equal to 41.2% of total volumes. With the exception of South America, which continued to grow to 41 million sqm (+14%), all other destination areas experienced a decline: Africa -18.5% (98 million sqm); North America and Mexico -7% (62 million sqm); European Union -8% (54 million sqm); non-EU Europe -7.5% (50 million sqm).

The ranking of India’s top countries of export underwent a number of changes compared to 2023. The United Arab Emirates, up 7.8% to 36.7 million sqm, became the leading export market, followed by the USA (34.2 million sqm; -7%), Iraq (30 million sqm; -6.7%) and Russia, which recorded the largest increase (+22.4%) to 28 million sqm. Kuwait and Mexico followed with about 25 million sqm each.

2024 年，印度 继续保持世界第二大瓷砖生产国和 消费国的地位。印度国内产量下降 2% 至 24 亿平方 米，反映出国内消费（16.20 亿平方米；-4.7%）和出 口均有所下降，出口量从 5.89 亿降至 5.25 亿平方米 (-10.9%)。出口收入下降至约 20 亿欧元，而平均价格 保持稳定在每平方米 3.8 欧元。

2024 年，亚洲市场继续吸纳印度出口的最大份 额：2.16 亿平方米 (-13%)，占总量的 41.2%。除继续 增长至 4100 万平方米 (+14%) 的南美外，所有其他 目的地区域均出现下降：非洲 -18.5%（9800 万平方 米）；北美和墨西哥 -7%（6200 万平方米）；欧盟 -8% （5400 万平方米）；非欧盟欧洲地区 -7.5%（5000 万平方米）。

与 2023 年相比，印度主要出口国的排名发生了若干 变化。阿拉伯联合酋长国增长 7.8%，达到 3670 万 平方米，成为首要出口市场；其次是美国（3420 万 平方米；-7%）、伊拉克（3000 万平方米；-6.7%） 和俄罗斯；俄罗斯录得最大增幅（+22.4%），达到 2800 万平方米。科威特和墨西哥随后，各约 2500 万平方米。降幅最大的国家是以色列（从 2200 万降 至 1400 万平方米；-37%）、南非（从 1950 万降至 1200 万平方米；-38%）和沙特阿拉伯（从 1800 万 降至 950 万平方米；-47%），沙特已对印度瓷砖进口 实施四年关税。

巴西，作为世界第三大生产国和消费国，2024 年产 量增长 4%，达到 8.25 亿平方米，部分弥补前两年 损失的产出，同时国内销售也出现类似回升（7.27 亿 平方米；+4.8%）。相比之下，出口继续下降至 8600 万平方米 (-2.9%)。这些几乎全部运往中美和南美市

The most significant declines were in Israel (from 22 to 14 million sqm; -37%), South Africa (from 19.5 to 12 million sqm; -38%) and Saudi Arabia (from 18 to 9.5 million sqm; -47%), where tariffs on Indian tile imports have been in place for four years.

Brazil, the world’s third-largest producer and consumer country, saw a 4% increase in production in 2024 to reach 825 million sqm, partially making up for the output lost in the previous two years, in parallel with a similar recovery in domestic sales (727 million sqm; +4.8%).

Exports, by contrast, continued to decline to 86 million sqm (-2.9%). These were almost entirely shipped to Central and South American markets with the exception of the USA, the second-largest destination market at 15.8 million sqm (-6.8%). The value of Brazilian exports fell to €338 million, with an average price of €3.9/sqm.

According to forecasts by the country’s trade association Anfacer, production in 2025 should reach around 807 million sqm, with stable domestic sales and a slight recovery in exports (+2%).

Spain, the largest European producer and the world’s third-largest exporter, also closed 2024 with a slight recovery in production, which rose from 394 to 416 million sqm (+5.6%), although still far from 2021-2022 levels. Consumption, almost entirely covered by domestic production, increased from 135 to 142 million sqm (+5.2%). Exports, however, continued to fall, dropping from 344 to 329 million sqm (-4.4%), equal to 79% of national production.

European producer countries Spain and Italy together accounted for 65.3% of world exports last year. If the next six major exporting countries are added, the figure rises to 84.4%, similar to 2023.

Spain and Italy maintained the highest export shares (both 79% of national production), followed by Poland at 54%, Iran at 45%, Turkey at 32%, India at 22% and Brazil and China at 10%. Italy also maintained its leadership position in terms of average selling price at €17/sqm, followed by Spain at €10.6, Poland at €9.2, Vietnam at €7.3, Turkey at €6.6, China at €5, Brazil at €3.9 and India at €3.8.

Indonesia and Vietnam continued to rank amongst the largest producer countries in the Far East, while Iran maintained its strong position in the Middle East. In 2024, Vietnam recovered much of the decline it experienced in 2023, bringing production back up to 504 million sqm (+27%). Exports remained stable at 35 million sqm, of which almost 10 million sqm was shipped to the USA, while domestic consumption rose to 401 million sqm.

Production in Indonesia fell by 1.4% to 407 million sqm, while consumption dropped to 470 million sqm (-5%), partly covered by imports (70 million sqm; -18.3%), almost entirely from China. Exports amounted to just 7 million sqm (-30%).

The world’s fifth-largest producer, Iran, produced 450 million sqm, of which 200 million sqm was sold on the domestic market and 202 million sqm was exported, including 76% to Iraq.

Turkey, the world’s ninth-largest producer and sixth-largest exporter, reduced its production in 2024 to 318 million sqm (-14.5%) in response to a fall in domestic demand to 232 milion sqm (-12%). Exports saw a significant recovery, rising to 101 million sqm (+27.8%), although still far from the 154 million sqm reached in 2021. Exports generated revenues of €671

每平方米 9.2 欧元、越南每平方米 7.3 欧元、土耳其 每平方米 6.6 欧元、中国每平方米 5 欧元、巴西每平 方米 3.9 欧元和印度每平方米 3.8 欧元。

印尼和越南继续位居远东地区最大的生产国之列， 而伊朗在中东地区保持强势地位。2024 年，越南大 体恢复了 2023 年遭受的下滑，使产量回升至 5.04 亿平方米 (+27%)。出口保持稳定在 3500 万平方 米，其中近 1000 万平方米运往美国，而国内消费上 升至 4.01 亿平方米。

印尼的产量下降 1.4% 至 4.07 亿平方米，而消费下降 至 4.7 亿平方米 (-5%)，部分由进口弥补（7000 万平 方米；-18.3%），几乎全部来自中国。出口仅为 700 万平方米 (-30%)。

世界第五大生产国伊朗，产量为 4.5 亿平方米，其中 2 亿平方米在国内销售，2.02 亿平方米出口，其中 76% 销往伊拉克。

土耳其，世界第九大生产国和第六大出口国，因国内 需求下降至 2.32 亿平方米 (-12%)，其 2024 年产 量降至 3.18 亿平方米 (-14.5%)。出口显著回升，达 到 1.01 亿平方米 (+27.8%)，但仍远低于 2021 年的 1.54 亿平方米。出口创造了 6.71 亿欧元的收入，平 均价格为每平方米 6.6 欧元。土耳其的主要海外市 场是欧盟（3900 万平方米；+43.6%），其次为非欧 盟欧洲地区（1900 万平方米；+69%）、亚洲（1870 万平方米；+11%）和北美（1670 万平方米；-10%）。

million, with an average price of €6.6/sqm. Turkey’s main foreign market was the European Union (39 million sqm; +43.6%), followed by non-EU Europe (19 million sqm; +69%), Asia (18.7 million sqm; +11%) and North America (16.7 million sqm; -10%).

Despite a decline, the USA remained Turkey’s largest single export market (13.1 million sqm; -14%), followed by Germany (12.4 million sqm; +25%) and the United Kingdom (7.7 million sqm; +14%).

In 2024, the 10 largest importing countries imported a total of 1,005 million sqm (the same volume as in 2023), equal to 37.6% of global trade. With an increase of 3.2% over 2023, Iraq overtook the United States to become the world’s largest tile importer at 194 million sqm (including 154 million sqm from Iran and 30 million sqm from India), covering 96.5% of national consumption.

Imports also accounted for 95% of sales in France and 98% in Germany. The main suppliers to France were Spain and Italy with 40 million sqm each (out of total imports of 105 million sqm); the main exporters to Germany were Italy, Turkey, Poland and Spain. In 2024, imports to Russia saw further growth to 67 million sqm (+12%), shipped mainly from India (28 million sqm), Belarus (16 million sqm) and Uzbekistan (6 million sqm). Five of the world’s ten largest importers are in Asia (Philippines, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand and Malaysia), all markets where China remains the leading and almost exclusive supplier. One of the developments in 2024 was the fact that Israel dropped out of the ranking of the world’s top ten importers (it is now 13th) due to the decline in imports to 46 million sqm, covered almost entirely by India, Spain, China and Italy.

The United States, the world’s second-largest importer, saw a 3% reduction in imports in 2024 to 189 million sqm, equivalent to 73% of total consumption (259 million sqm). 83.5% of US imports originated from the six largest supplier countries: Spain (34.4 million sqm; -4.9%), India (34.3 million sqm; -7.1%), Italy (33.1 million sqm; +9.3%), Mexico (27.3 million sqm; -12.3%), Brazil (15.8 million sqm; -6.8%) and Turkey (13.1 million sqm; -14%).

As expected, the effects of the US market dynamics could be clearly seen in the first half of 2025: on the one hand, the import tariffs announced by President Trump, which prompted many US distributors to bring forward purchases; on the other, the introduction of anti-dumping duties on tile imports from India. Data released by the Tile Council of North America show that while tile consumption remained stable in the first six months of the year (-0.6% compared to H1 2024), imports gained momentum (+2.6% in volume and +5% in value) at the expense of domestic sales (-8.3%). In particular, market shares among traditional foreign suppliers shifted, with increases for Spain (20 million sqm; +27.3% in volume; +21.5% in value) and Italy (15 million sqm; +7.2% in volume; +7.3% in value), while India declined sharply (13.8 million sqm; -32.7% in volume; -42.2% in value). Brazil also performed well (+24.5% in volume and +26.3% in value), while Mexico saw a decline (-5.7% in volume and -8.4% in value). ◼

尽管有所下降，美国仍为土耳其最大的单一出口市场 （1310 万平方米；-14%），其次是德国（1240 万平 方米；+25%）和英国（770 万平方米；+14%）。

在 2024 年，十大进口国的进口总量为 10.05 亿平 方米（与 2023 年持平），占全球贸易的 37.6%。与 2023 年相比增长 3.2%，伊拉克 超过美国，成为全 球最大的瓷砖进口国，进口量为 1.94 亿平方米（其 中 1.54 亿平方米来自伊朗，3000 万平方米来自印 度），覆盖了全国 96.5% 的消费量。

进口也占到 法国销量的 95%，在德国则占 98%。对 法国的主要供应国是西班牙和意大利，各为 4000 万 平方米（总进口为 1.05 亿平方米）；对德国的主要 出口国是意大利、土耳其、波兰和西班牙。在 2024 年，俄罗斯 进口的数量进一步增长至 6700 万平方米 （+12%），主要来自印度（2800 万平方米）、白俄罗 斯（1600 万平方米）和乌兹别克斯坦（600 万平方 米）。世界十大进口国中有五个位于亚洲（菲律宾、 印度尼西亚、韩国、泰国和马来西亚），这些市场中 中国仍是主要且几乎是唯一的供应国。2024 年的一 项发展是以色列因进口下降至 4600 万平方米而退 出世界十大进口国排名（现在排名第 13 位），其进 口几乎全部由印度、西班牙、中国和意大利覆盖。

美国，作为世界第二大进口国，2024 年进口量下降 3%，至 1.89 亿平方米，相当于总消费量（2.59 亿 平方米）的 73%。美国进口的 83.5% 来自六个最 大供应国：西班牙（3440 万平方米；-4.9%）、印度 （3430 万平方米；-7.1%）、意大利（3310 万平方 米；+9.3%）、墨西哥（2730 万平方米；-12.3%）、巴 西（1580 万平方米；-6.8%）和土耳其（1310 万平方 米；-14%）。

正如预期，美国市场动态的影响在 2025 年上半年 中可见一斑：一方面，特朗普总统宣布的进口关税促 使许多美国经销商提前采购；另一方面，美国对来自 印度的瓷砖进口征收了反倾销税。北美瓷砖理事会 发布的数据显示，虽然瓷砖消费在年初六个月保持 稳定（与 2024 年上半年相比下降 0.6%），进口增势 明显（数量 +2.6% 且价值 +5%），但牺牲了国内产品 销量 (-8.3%)。特别是，传统外国供应国之间的市场 份额发生变化，西班牙份额上升（2000 万平方米； 数量 +27.3%；价值 +21.5%）和意大利（1500 万平 方米；数量 +7.2%；价值 +7.3%），而印度大幅下降 （1380 万平方米；数量 -32.7%；价值 -42.2%）。巴 西表现良好（数量 +24.5%，价值 +26.3%），而墨西 哥则出现下降（数量 -5.7%，价值 -8.4%）。◼

中国陶瓷砖出口持续下滑

CHINESE TILE INDUSTRY CONTRACTS SHARPLY

Luca Baraldi, MECS / Acimac Research Dept.

(l.baraldi@mecs.org)

In 2025, the Chinese ceramic tile industry recorded a further steep decline as the downturn triggered by the 2021 real estate crisis continued for a fifth consecutive year. According to the annual report published by the China Building Ceramics and Sanitary Ware Association, output from the country’s 938 tile manufacturers plummeted to 4.86 billion sqm last year, almost one billion square metres lower than in 2024 ( -17.8% ). As a result, national tile production has more than halved over the past decade and contracted by 43% in just five years.

A ten-year analysis of the sector together with forecasts through to 2029 is available on the platform World Ceramic Tile Production and Consumption Forecast 2025-2029 published by the Acimac/MECS Research Centre.

Massive production overcapacity remains a critical issue, particularly since the prevailing opinion among Chinese analysts is that the sector has not yet reached the bottom of its cycle and that the rationalisation process will continue, leading to the emergence of increasingly large, efficient and well-structured industrial groups. With the era of mass production and pure price-based competition now effectively over, the Chinese ceramic industry is being forced to shift towards value-driven business models. Its new priorities are quality and innovation, operational and managerial efficiency, flexibility and responsiveness, reliability, customisation and service. The key drivers shaping the sector’s future development will therefore be digitalisation, smart manufacturing, sustainability and energy efficiency.

China’s leading manufacturers have already embarked on this transformation in recent years. A prime example is Newpearl Group’s $55 million investment in its Digital Green Factory in Foshan, which involved replacing machinery that had been in operation for 20 years. On 28 March 2026, the company inaugurated two new high-performance lines capable of reducing gas consumption by 15%, lowering emissions, managing rapid production changeovers and small batches and allowing for more flexible order scheduling. Further projects are due for completion in the second half of the year, including the installation of the company’s first electric roller kiln.

TILE EXPORTS FALL TO 567 MILLION SQM

Chinese ceramic tile exports also continued

2025年，中国瓷砖行业产量进一步大幅下滑，由 2021年房地产危机引发的下行趋势已持续五年之 久。据中国建筑卫生陶瓷协会发布的年度报告显示， 去年全国938家瓷砖企业的产量骤降至 48.6亿平方 米，较2024年减少近10亿平方米（下降17.8%）。由 此，过去十年间全国瓷砖产量已缩减超过一半，短短 五年内即萎缩了43%。

由Acimac/MECS研究中心发布的《2025-2029年 世界瓷砖产量与消费预测》中，提供了对该行业过去 十年的分析及截至2029年的预测数据。

产能过剩仍是一个主要问题，尤其是因为中国分析师 普遍认为，该行业尚未触底，去产能的合理化进程仍 将继续，从而形成规模越来越大、结构日益完善、效 率不断提升的企业集团。

随着大规模批量生产和仅靠价格竞争的时代结束， 中国瓷砖行业正被要求转向价值导向的商业模式。重 点方向包括质量与创新、生产与管理效率、灵活性与 对市场需求的快速响应、可靠性、定制化及服务。因 此，数字化与智能制造、可持续性和能源效率将成为 塑造行业未来发展的主要驱动力。

近年来，中国的行业领先企业已开始走上这条道路。

例如，新明珠集团 投资5500万美元在佛山建设数字 化绿色工厂。在原有运行了20年的设施基础上，两条 新的高性能生产线于2026年3月28日投产。这些生 产线能够降低15%的燃气消耗、减少排放、实现快速 生产转换和小批量生产，并能更灵活地规划订单。在 计划于今年下半年完成的项目中，首条电动辊道窑的 安装就位列其中。

瓷砖出口量降至5.67亿平方米

中国瓷砖出口的下行趋势在2025年仍在延续，此前 已连续十余年稳步下滑（2016-2025年复合年增长 率为-6.4%）。根据MECS研究中心收集并处理的数 据，2025年出口量较2024年进一步下降 5.5%，从6

trajectory in 2025, extending a decline that has now lasted for more than a decade (CAGR 2025-2016: -6.4%). According to data compiled and processed by the MECS Research Centre, export volumes fell by a further 5.5% compared to 2024, dropping from 600 million to 567 million sqm. Export revenues declined by 4.7% to €2.83 billion, while the average selling price remained stable at €5/sqm.

Although China remained the world’s largest tile exporter by volume in 2025, it is now virtually level with India, whose exports grew by 7.6% last year to reach 565 million sqm.

Porcelain tiles accounted for 52.7% of total Chinese exports, while export sales remained heavily concentrated in a limited number of destination markets. Of the 206 countries to which China exported tiles in 2025, the top 15 accounted for 73% of total export volumes (71% excluding the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region), equivalent to 415 million sqm. A further 41 countries imported volumes of between 1 and 9 million sqm from China, while all remaining destinations remained below the 1 million square metre mark.

70% OF EXPORTS SHIPPED TO ASIAN MARKETS

Asia and the Middle East remained the leading destinations for Chinese ceramic tiles, accounting for 70% of total exports (397 million sqm, down 10% on 2024). Eleven of China’s top 15 export markets are located in this region, including the top four destinations: the Philippines, South Korea, Malaysia and Thailand. Exports to Israel saw a particularly sharp increase, more than doubling to 23 million sqm (+108%).

Exports to Latin America – the second largest destination re-

亿平方米降至5.67亿平方米。出口额下降4.7%至28.3 亿欧元，平均价格稳定在5欧元/平方米。

值得注意的是，尽管中国在2025年仍保持全球最大 瓷砖出口国（按出口量计）的地位，但其领先优势已 被印度追平，两国目前并列第一。印度去年出口增长 7.6%，达5.65亿平方米。

从出口产品结构来看，瓷质砖 占中国总出口的 52.7%。

就单个出口目的地而言，销量高度集中于主要市场的 趋势依然明显：2025年，中国瓷砖共出口至206个国 家，其中前15大市场合计出口量达4.15亿平方米，占 总量的73%（若剔除香港特别行政区，占比为71%）。 此外，有41个国家的进口量在100万至900万平方米 之间，其余国家均低于100万平方米。

70%的出口面向亚洲市场 亚洲和中东市场仍然是中国瓷砖的主要出口目的地， 占出口总量的70%（3.96亿平方米，较2024年下降 10%）。在排名前15的出口市场中，有11个来自该地 区，其中前四名分别是菲律宾、韩国、马来西亚和泰 国。值得注意的是，对以色列的出口增长了一倍多， 达到2300万平方米（增长108%）。

Sales in Oceania remained stable at 37.8 million sqm, almost entirely destined for Australia – China’s fifth-largest foreign market, where it holds a market share of around 75%.

Similar volumes (37.4 million sqm, up 10% on 2024) were exported to Africa, although exports to the continent – which exceeded 200 million sqm annually prior to 2016 – have now been progressively replaced by Chinese-owned manufacturing facilities established locally.

United States in 2020, China’s presence in North America is now almost entirely limited to exports to Canada (8.6 million sqm, down 2.8% on 2024), while a further 2.6 million sqm were exported to Mexico and the US. Europe has also become a marginal market for Chinese ceramic tiles, despite a modest increase in exports from 8 million to 10 million sqm in 2025, of which 2.6 million sqm was sold in the European Union and 7.4 million sqm in non-EU European countries.

CHINESE MANUFACTURING EXPANDS OVERSEAS

Alongside the rationalisation and technological upgrading of domestic production and the decline in exports, the Chinese ceramic industry is rapidly expanding its international manufacturing footprint. As mentioned, Africa has attracted the largest share of Chinese investment, with around thirty factories currently operating across 17 countries. Twyford (Keda Industrial Group) operates in Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Senegal, Tanzania and Zambia with a total of 21 production lines and an annual output of 200 million sqm, a figure set to grow with the planned opening of a facility in Guinea and the expansion of several existing plants. In addition to Twyford, other Chinese firms operate in Nigeria (where around ten factories are currently active), as well as in Ghana, Ethiopia, Uganda, Libya, Mozambique, Zimbabwe Angola, Egypt, Congo and South Africa. Outside Africa, Chinese-owned ceramic tile plants are active in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Peru and Mexico. Another notable investment is Marco Polo Group’s venture in Tennessee (USA), where its Wonder Porcelain facility has been operating since 2017. ◼

份额已大幅缩减，目前主要限于对加拿大的出口（860 万平方米，较2024年下降2.8%），另有260万平方米出 口至墨西哥和美国。

欧洲目前也是中国陶瓷的边缘市场，尽管2025年销量 从800万平方米增至1000万平方米，其中260万平方 米出口至欧盟国家，740万平方米出口至非欧盟的欧洲 国家。

中国生产加速海外扩张

随着国内生产结构的优化升级以及出口量的下降，中 国陶瓷行业正加快推进生产基地的国际化进程。正如 所述，非洲 是中国投资最集中的地区，目前在17个国 家运营着约30家工厂。仅特福（科达）一家企业，便在 喀麦隆、科特迪瓦、加纳、肯尼亚、塞内加尔、坦桑尼 亚和赞比亚拥有共计21条生产线，年产量达2亿平方 米。随着即将投产的几内亚工厂以及多个现有设施的 扩建，这一产量还将进一步提升。除特福外，其他中国 企业也已将业务拓展至尼日利亚（约拥有10家工厂）， 以及加纳、埃塞俄比亚、乌干达、利比亚、莫桑比克、 津巴布韦、安哥拉、埃及、刚果和南非等非洲国家。 在非洲以外，中资工厂还分布于阿塞拜疆、哈萨克斯 坦、乌兹别克斯坦、约旦、沙特阿拉伯、秘鲁和墨西 哥。此外，马可波罗集团也投资了美国田纳西州—— 自2017年起，美好陶瓷公司便在当地投入生产。◼

WORLD SANITARYWARE EXPORTS AND IMPORTS

Luca Baraldi, MECS / Acimac Research Dept. (l.baraldi@mecs.org)

Between 2010 and 2024, global trade in ceramic sanitaryware grew by 72% from 2.16 million to 3.72 million tonnes , equivalent to a compound annual growth rate of 4%. After a decade of almost consistently positive growth, global sanitaryware exports peaked in 2021 (+17.3% due to the post-pandemic boom) before declining over the following two years. A fresh recovery came in 2024 with a +6.6% increase on 2023 , driven almost exclusively by the performance of China.

With 2.68 million tonnes exported in 2024 (+15.4% on 2023), Asia saw its share of global sanitaryware exports increase to 72%. This result was almost entirely attributable to China , which reached exports of 2.17 million tonnes (+19.7% on 2023). This figure, an all-time high for China, accounted for 81% of Asian exports and 58.4% of the global total. India , the world’s third largest exporter, experienced a 4.6% decline (253,000 tonnes), while Thailand also saw a slight contraction (-2.4%). By contrast, exports from Iran and Vietnam increased (+22.2% and +9.8%, respectively).

2010–2024 年，全球陶瓷卫浴洁具贸易量增长 72% ，从 216 万吨增至 372 万吨，年复合增长率达 4%。

历经近十年近乎持续的正向增长后，全球卫浴洁具 出口量于 2021 年创下峰值（受后疫情市场热潮拉 动增幅达 17.3%），随后连续两年回落。2024 年市 场再度回暖，较 2023 年增长 6.6%，此番复苏几乎 完全由中国市场拉动。

2024 年亚洲出口量达 268 万吨，同比 2023 年增长 15.4%，在全球卫浴洁具出口中的占比升至 72%。这 一结果几乎完全归因于中国，中国当年出口量达 217 万吨，同比增幅 19.7%。该数值创下中国历史出口新 高，占亚洲出口总量的 81%、全球总量的 58.4%。印 度为全球第三大出口国，出口量下滑 4.6%，至 25.3 万吨；泰国出口量亦小幅回落，降幅 2.4%。与之相 比，伊朗、越南出口分别增长 22.2%、9.8。

TAB. 1 - EXPORTS OF SANITARYWARE BY AREA (TONS)

Exports from the European Union remained broadly in line with 2023 levels at 432,000 tonnes (-0.3%). The region’s three largest exporting countries – Poland, Germany and Portugal , which alone account for half of EU exports – all recorded small declines of between -1.7% and -2.4%.

After a positive 2023, North America (NAFTA) experienced a sharp fall in exports in 2024 to 276,000 tonnes (-28.5%). This decline was almost entirely attributable to Mexico (253,000 tonnes; -28%), which nonetheless remained the world’s second largest exporter (tied with India) after China.

Non-EU European countries also saw a fall in exports in 2024 (-10.9% to 177,000 tonnes). Turkey , the main exporter in this area and the world’s fourth largest exporter overall, recorded a 16.5% decline in foreign sales to 128,000 tonnes.

Finally, Africa and South America have fairly similar export volumes. Africa remained at roughly the same level as in the previous four years, at 79,000 tonnes (-1.5%), while

欧盟 2024 年出口量为 43.2 万吨，与 2023 年基本 持平，微降 0.3%。欧盟三大出口国—— 波兰、德 国、葡萄牙，三国合计占据欧盟出口总量半数，出 口均出现小幅下滑，降幅在 1.7% 至 2.4% 之间。

北美（北美自由贸易协定 (NAFTA)）在 2023 年行 情向好后，2024 年出口量大幅下跌至 27.6 万吨， 降幅 28.5%。此次下滑主要由墨西哥市场下行所 致，墨西哥 2024 年出口 25.3 万吨、降幅 28%，但 仍与印度并列全球第二大出口国，仅次于中国。

非欧盟欧洲国家 2024 年出口同样下滑，降幅 10.9%，总量降至 17.7 万吨。土耳其是非欧盟欧 洲地区第一大、全球第四大卫浴洁具出口国，2024 年外销规模下滑 16.5%，至 12.8 万吨。

最后， 非洲与 南美洲 的出口规模大体相近。非洲 近四年出口量基本持平，为 7.9 万吨 (-1.5%)；南美 洲出口量增长 9.3%，达 7.6 万吨。

TAB. 2 - THE TOP EXPORTING

South America’s exports grew by 9.3% to 76,000 tonnes. Taken together, the 10 largest sanitaryware exporting countries accounted for 86% of global exports.

An analysis of the variations in exports from each individual area of production over the last 14 years clearly reveals the growth of Asia . The continent’s exports have grown by over 140% over the period, increasing from 1.1 million tonnes in 2010 to 2.68 million tonnes in 2024 (CAGR 2024/2010 +6.6%) and eroding the global export shares of almost all other areas. The EU ’s share of world exports fell from 24.2% in 2010 to 11.6% in 2024; the NAFTA region’s share declined from 12.4% to 7.4%; South America’s share dropped from 4.6% in 2010 to 2%, with volumes trending down over the period. Non-EU European countries were able to limit the decline in their share of world exports (from 6% to 4.8%) thanks to a 34% increase in exported

综合来看，全球十大卫浴洁具出口国合计占据全球 出口总量的 86%。

梳理近 14 年各产区出口规模变化可以清晰看出， 亚洲整体呈显著增长态势。2010 至 2024 年间， 亚洲出口增幅超 140%，出口量从 110 万吨攀升至 268 万吨（2010–2024 年复合年增长率 + 6.6%） ，同时挤压了几乎所有其他地区的全球出口份额。 欧盟全球出口份额由 2010 年的 24.2% 降至 2024 年的 11.6%；北美自由贸易区份额从 12.4% 回落至 7.4%；南美洲份额由 2010 年的 4.6% 降至 2%，同 期出口总量整体呈下行趋势。非欧盟 欧洲国家出口 量增长 34%，有效缓解了其全球出口份额的下滑， 份额由 6% 小幅降至 4.8%。非洲是唯一实现份额

volumes. Africa was the sole exception, with an increase in share of global trade from 1.7% to 2.1% on the back of 119% growth in export volumes over the period.

An analysis of sanitaryware imports in 2024 by continent not only confirms Asia and North America as the two main destination regions but also reveals that their imported volumes were almost level: Asia imported 1.13 million tonnes (+13.3% on 2023), equivalent to 30% of world imports, while North America imported 1 million tonnes (+3.4% on 2023), corresponding to 27% of the total. The European Union followed a short way behind with imports of 753,000 tonnes in 2024 (+6.8% on 2023), accounting for 20.3% of the global total. The remaining 23% of world imports were shared between Africa, South America, non-EU European countries and Oceania.

提升的地区，同期出口总量增幅达 119%，全球贸易 占比从 1.7% 升至 2.1%。

按大洲分析 2024 年卫浴洁具进口格局，可确认亚洲 与北美是两大核心进口目的地，且两地进口总量基本 持平：亚洲进口量 113 万吨 (较 2023 年 + 13.3%)， 占全球进口总量的 30%；北美 进口量 100 万吨 (较 2023 年 + 3.4%)，占比 27%。欧盟 紧随其后，2024 年进口量 75.3 万吨 (较 2023 年 + 6.8%)，占全球总 量 20.3%。

全球剩余 23% 的进口份额由非洲、南美洲、非欧盟 欧洲国家及大洋洲共同分摊。

整体来看，2024 年全球十大卫浴洁具进口国合计进 口量达 180 万吨，占全球进口总量的 48.3%。与上

sanitaryware

Overall in 2024, the ten largest sanitaryware importing countries accounted for 48.3% of global imports (1.80 million tonnes). The ranking shows several changes in position compared to the previous year. The United States confirmed its status as the world’s largest sanitaryware importer with 851,000 tonnes (+4.7% on 2023). This volume represented 23% of global imports, the same share as in 2010. Other importing countries trailed some way behind: Germany and South Korea each imported 123,000 tonnes, the United Kingdom and France 116,000 tonnes, Spain and Saudi Arabia between 106,000 and 111,000 tonnes, and Vietnam, Mexico and Canada between 78,000 and 93,000 tonnes. Among the 10 largest importing countries, only France and Canada saw a decline in imports in 2024 (by 5.4% and 18% respectively). Of the remaining eight, five recorded double-digit growth, the highest being that of Vietnam (+27%). Mexico, Germany and Vietnam appear in the rankings of both the top 10 exporters and the top 10 importers, although only Mexico exports more sanitaryware than it imports.

Finally, an analysis of the main export destinations according to the geographical areas of production shows that in four out of seven regions the vast majority of exports remain within the same geographical area or continent. Some 97.5% of exports from the NAFTA region (mainly Mexico) remain in North America (effectively the United States); 77% of South American exports stay within Latin America; 79% of European Union exports are destined for EU markets; and 69% of Oceania’s exports remain in Oceania.

At the other extreme, 83% of exports from non-EU Europe are sold in other regions, mainly the EU, which is Turkey’s leading export market. Similarly, 76% of African exports are shipped to destinations outside Africa and 60% of Asian exports are sold outside the Asian continent, reflecting China’s capacity to sell its products in almost every region of the world. ◼

一年度相比，榜单排名出现多处位次变动。美国 稳 居全球最大卫浴洁具进口国地位，进口量达 85.1 万吨 (较 2023 年 + 4.7%)。该进口规模占全球总 量的 23%，与 2010 年占比持平。其余进口国体量 均与之差距明显：德国、韩国进口量均为 12.3 万 吨；英国、法国均为 11.6 万吨；西班牙、沙特阿拉 伯介于 10.6 万至 11.1 万吨之间；越南、墨西哥、 加拿大介于 7.8 万至 9.3 万吨之间。

十大进口国中，2024 年仅法国、加拿大进口量出 现下滑，降幅分别为 5.4% 和 18%。其余八个国家 里，有五个实现两位数增长，其中越南增幅最高， 达 27%。

墨西哥、德国、越南同时跻身十大出口国与十大进 口国榜单，但其中仅有墨西哥的出口量大于进口 量。

从各产区主要出口目的地分布来看：七大产区中有 四个产区，绝大部分出口仍在本地理区域或本洲 内流通。北美自由贸易区出口约 97.5% 在北美区 域内消化，主要流向美国；南美 77% 的出口在拉 美区域内流通；欧盟 79% 的出口销往欧盟内部市 场；大洋洲 69% 的出口留在大洋洲本地。

与之形成鲜明对比的是，非欧盟欧洲地区 83% 的 出口流向域外市场，其中以欧盟为主，欧盟也是土 耳其最核心的出口市场。同样，非洲 76% 的出口 运往非洲以外地区，亚洲 60% 的出口销往亚洲域 外，体现出中国卫浴洁具产品几乎可行销全球各区 域的供货能力。◼

THE WORLD’S LEADING SANITARYWARE MANUFACTURERS

In 2024, the broad downturn in construction investment prompted even the world’s largest ceramic sanitaryware manufacturers to reduce their output by a few percentage points, as several players anticipated a recovery in sales as early as 2025. According to data collected by MECS for Ceramic World Review, in 2024 the Spanish group Roca reaffirmed its position as the world’s largest sanitaryware manufacturer, marketing its products under the Roca, Laufen, Celite, Parryware, Jika and Ying brands. Production totalled 23 million pieces (down from 24 million the previous year). Headquartered in Barcelona and active in other industrial sectors, the group operates 78 production facilities, including 7 in Spain and a further 71 spread across Europe, South America, North Africa, Asia and Oceania. It employs 19,500 people and in 2024 reported consolidated revenue of €1,948 million, down 5.3% from €2,057 million in 2023.

Although no official figures are available, the Kohler Group (USA) has also confirmed its place among the leading players with an estimated production capacity of over 20 million pieces and factories in the USA, Mexico, Brazil, Morocco, Thailand, India, China and Indonesia. The group markets sanitaryware under the Kohler, Jacob Delafon, Sterling and Ann Sacks brands.

Other major manufacturers with outputs of around 10 million pieces include TOTO, Geberit and Villeroy & Boch. The Japanese group TOTO, which also operates in the tile sector and other industrial segments, produced 9.9 million pieces of sanitaryware in 2024. It has 16 production facilities (4 in Japan and 12 in China, Taiwan, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Mexico and the United States) and reported consolidated sales of 724.5 billion yen (approximately €4.4 billion).

The Swiss group Geberit, whose sanitaryware production facilities are located exclusively in Europe (Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Sweden, Poland, Portugal and Ukraine), has an estimated installed capacity of 14 million pieces. It expects its Bathroom Systems business unit to close 2025 with revenue up 5% on the approximately €980 million achieved in 2024.

Following the acquisition of Ideal Standard in 2024, the German group Villeroy & Boch now has nine production facilities with an estimated installed capacity of 10 million pieces in Germany, France, Hungary, Romania, Thailand, the Czech Repub-

吉博力公布 2025 年业绩增长

GEBERIT REPORTS GROWTH IN 2025

The Geberit Group confirmed its forecasts for 2025, recording positive results despite a market environment that remained complex throughout the year. Net sales grew by 2.5% on 2024 to CHF 3,163 million (a currency-adjusted increase of 4.8%), driven among other things by a strong fourth quarter with 4.4% growth (or 6.4% when adjusted for currency effects).

The result was favourably impacted by strong growth in sales volumes, especially regarding new products launched during the year, and by the positive momentum recorded in most European countries.

Despite continued challenging conditions for the sanitaryware industry, currency-adjusted sales in Europe grew by 4.1%, with particularly significant increases in Austria (+8.5%), Benelux (+7.3%) and Germany (+5.6%). Strong growth was also reported in Eastern Europe (+4.3%) and Northern Europe (+3.5%), while results in Italy (+1.6%) and Switzerland (+1%) were less buoyant, albeit still positive.

Outside Europe, the most significant growth was achieved in the Middle East/Africa region (+24.8%) and performance in America was also positive (+3.9%). In contrast, sales in the Far East/ Pacific region were slightly down on the previous year (-0.6%) due to the continuing contraction of the Chinese market and despite significant growth in India.

吉博力集团 2025 年业绩符合预期，在全年市场环境 依旧复杂的背景下，依然交出稳健增长成绩单。集团 净销售额较 2024 年增长 2.5%，达 31.63 亿瑞士法 郎；汇率调整后增幅为 4.8%。增长主要得益于第四 季度表现亮眼，当季营收增长 4.4%，汇率调整后增 幅达 6.4%。销量大幅提升、年内新品持续放量，加 之欧洲多数国家市场向好，共同拉动整体业绩上行。 卫浴行业整体经营环境依旧承压，欧洲市场汇率调 整后销售额仍实现 4.1% 增长；其中奥地利 (+8.5%) 、比荷卢 (+7.3%)、德国 (+5.6%) 增幅尤为突出。东 欧 (+4.3%)、北欧 (+3.5%) 同样保持强劲增长；意 大利 (+1.6%)、瑞士 (+1%) 增速虽相对平缓，但仍维 持正增长。欧洲以外市场，中东 / 非洲地区增幅最为 亮眼，达 24.8%；美洲市场也实现正向增长 (+3.9%) 。反观远东 / 太平洋地区，受中国市场持续萎缩影 响，尽管印度市场增长强劲，区域销售额仍同比微降 0.6%。

各大业务板块汇率调整后净销售额均实现上涨：浴

All product areas saw increases in currency-adjusted net sales, with the best performance in Bathroom Systems (+6.1%), followed by Installation and Flushing Systems (+5.5%) and Piping Systems (+3%). The company expects an EBITDA margin of slightly below 29.5% for the full-year 2025, due to negative currency effects, wage inflation, higher energy prices, growth initiatives in selected developing markets and various digitalisation and IT projects. However, volume growth and lower material costs had a positive effect on margins.

Looking ahead to 2026, the Swiss group’s forecasts inevitably reflect those of the construction industry. The European market is expected to show slight growth, but without a full recovery yet. While new construction appears likely to remain stable at 2025 levels, the renovation business, which accounts for around 60% of Geberit’s sales, is expected to maintain positive momentum. Outside Europe, Geberit still expects strong growth in India and the Gulf countries, while a further decline in demand is expected in China.

For 2026, the Swiss multinational’s goal is to further expand its market position through targeted strategic initiatives including the launch of new products, investments in IT, digitalisation and AI, targeted marketing activities and the expansion and renewal of logistics capacities. ◼

室系统增幅最高，达 + 6.1%；其次为安装及冲水系统 (+5.5%)、管道系统 (+3%)。

公司预计 2025 年全年 EBITDA 利润率略低于 29.5% ，主要受汇率负面波动、薪资上涨、能源价格走高、 部分新兴市场业务扩张投入，以及各类数字化与信 息技术项目投入等因素影响。不过，销量增长及原材 料成本回落，对利润率形成正向支撑。

展望 2026 年，这家瑞士集团的业绩预判与建筑行业 整体走势高度相关。预计欧洲市场将实现小幅增长， 但尚未迎来全面复苏。新建建筑市场大概率将维持 2025 年水平；占吉博力整体销售额约 60% 的翻新 改造业务，则有望保持良好增长势头。欧洲以外，吉 博力看好印度及海湾国家延续高增长，同时预计中国 市场需求将进一步下滑。

面向 2026 年，这家瑞士跨国企业计划通过一系列定 向战略举措进一步巩固市场地位：推出新品、加大信 息技术、数字化及人工智能领域投入、开展精准营销 布局，同时扩充并升级物流配套能力。◼

人工智能赋能质检技术持续升级

INCREASINGLY ADVANCED QUALITY CONTROL WITH

Sacmi Group (Imola, Italy)

Flawmaster+ is the latest-generation automatic sorting system developed by Sacmi-Italvision for quality control of ceramic surfaces. Precision, compactness, ease of use and immediacy of operation are the key characteristics of a system designed to function as the “brain” of an interconnected digital production line.

The module can be installed upstream of the sorting line, downstream of grinding or at the kiln exit

Using three high-resolution cameras and light sources positioned at different angles, Flawmaster+ is able to detect all types of defects (surface, mechanical, decoration, shade and colour defects, and more) with precision, accuracy and consistency.

ADVANCED SELF-LEARNING

For digitally decorated products, the recipes are configured simply by uploading the reference graphics file

Accurate quality control is combined with a self-learning concept that does not rely solely on a certain number of “good” tiles to be inspected but draws from the entire graphics file, which contains all possible variations of any given tile relative to the reference canvas. The result is a much faster and far more accurate process that avoids false defect detections

EASE OF USE AND AI

Flawmaster+ is the only solution on the market that gives manufacturers the opportunity to create the reference model using artificial intelligence as an alternative to digital printer graphics files. In practice, once the type of defect has been identified, the operator no longer needs to configure the machine manually. Flawmaster+ self-adjusts, automatically selecting the optimal setup according to the type of defect to be detected (e.g. a small surface scratch).

The system also evolves over time, using neural network logic to store acquired data and use it to improve performance. Compared to alternative solutions, Flawmaster+ also facilitates:

• automatic size changes, by reloading the reference canvas and automatically adjusting the aligner, conveyor speed and the height of lenses and sensors;

• on-the-fly product changeovers. In the M2M (machine-to-machine) configuration, the subsequent batch is processed fully automatically, with the next recipe set according to the order schedule.

Flawmaster+ 是萨克米-意特视 (Sacmi-Italvision) 专 为陶瓷表面质检打造的新一代自动分选系统。高精度、 结构紧凑、操作简易、响应即时，是这款设备的核心特 点；该系统可担当数字化互联生产线的 “中枢大脑”。 该检测模块可安装于 分选线 前端、打磨工序后端，或 窑 炉出口位置。

Flawmaster+ 依托 三台高清相机与多角度光源，可稳 定、精准、可靠识别各类缺陷，包括表面瑕疵、机械损 伤、装饰缺陷、色阶及色差缺陷等。

进阶自学习功能

针对数码装饰类产品，只需上传参考图形文件，即可完成 工艺配方配置。

系统将高精度质检与自学习 机制相结合，无需仅依靠若 干瓷砖“良品样本”进行比对，而是依托完整参考图形文 件进行分析；文件内已涵盖单款瓷砖相对参考底图的所 有合理视觉偏差形态。

整套检测流程速度大幅提升、精度显著提高，可有效 避 免缺陷误判。

易用性与人工智能应用

Flawmaster+ 是目前市场上唯一可借助 人工智能生成 参考模型 的质检设备，可替代数码打印机图形文件作为 比对基准。

实际应用中，系统识别出缺陷类型后，操作人员无需再 手动配置设备参数。Flawmaster+ 可自主适配调节，根 据待检测缺陷类型（如细微表面划痕）自动优选最佳检 测参数。

系统还具备持续迭代能力，依托 神经网络 算法存储累积 数据，不断优化检测性能。

相较于同类设备，Flawmaster+ 还支持： • 尺寸自动适配：重新加载参考底图后，自动校准对位装 置、输送带速度以及镜头与传感器高度；

• 无缝快速换产。

在机对机 (M2M) 组网模式下，后续生 产批次可全自动运行，系统将依照生产排程自动调用 下一版工艺配方。

TWO MACHINES IN ONE WITH THE CALIBER PLANARITY INTEGRATED DEVICE

Flawmaster+ is available with an integrated Caliber Planarity Integrated (CPI) device and/or bevel control module, making it effectively two machines in one while maintaining the same overall dimensions. In the version with integrated CPI device, the system runs additional checks on dimensions, diagonals, side shape defects, local defects, curved edges, shape deviations, warpage, concavity and convexity.

TOWARDS A NEW MODEL OF DIGITAL PRODUCTION PLANT

Flawmaster+ delivers superior quality and efficiency thanks to advanced defect mapping and analysis and the ability to provide feedback to keep production flows stable. Installed downstream from the grinding line, Flawmaster+ not only classifies tiles but also provides feedback to correct the upstream squaring machine, automatically fine-tuning sorting adjustments. This means that defective items are deleted from the machine’s reference models at the product creation stage. Flawmaster+ paves the way for Sacmi’s Easy Factory concept, a digital ceramic plant characterised by zero defects, zero unnecessary handling and zero reworking of non-conforming pieces thanks to a simple, automatic and consistently accurate process. ◼

集成 Caliber Planarity Integrated 设备，实现一机

Flawmaster+ 可搭载集成式 Caliber Planarity Integrated (CPI) 设备及 / 或倒角检测模块，整机外 形尺寸保持不变，真正实现一机兼具两套设备功能。 搭载 CPI 集成设备的机型，可额外检测产品尺寸、对 角线、侧边造型缺陷、局部瑕疵、曲边、形状偏差、翘 曲度、凹凸变形等指标。

迈向全新数字化工厂生产模式

凭借先进的缺陷图谱绘制与分析功能，以及可反向 反 馈、稳定生产流程的能力，Flawmaster+ 能够实现更 高的品质与生产效率。

设备安装于打磨生产线后端，不仅可完成瓷砖分级分 选，还能向上游磨边方正机输出反馈信号，自动微调分 选参数。这意味着在产品成型初始阶段，系统即可将 缺陷样本从设备参考模型中剔除。Flawmaster+ 也 为萨克米 Easy Factory 理念落地奠定了基础：这是 一套数字化陶瓷工厂模式，依托简易、自动化且持续 高精度的工艺流程，实现零缺陷、无冗余转运、不合格 产品零返工。◼

智能工厂：立足创新，洞察市场

THE SMART FACTORY: AMID INNOVATION AND LISTENING TO THE MARKET

System Ceramics (Fiorano Modenese, Italy)

The Smart Factory is not an abstract concept: it is the ceramic industry’s answer to the growing complexity of manufacturing processes. The integration of sensors, robotics, artificial intelligence and sophisticated control systems across the entire value chain has transformed factories into interconnected digital entities where every machine communicates, every process generates data and every item of data informs a decision.

With the Transition 5.0 Plan launched in 2024, the Italian ceramic industry has received a further incentive to invest in technological innovation, energy efficiency and sustainability. Digitalisation is no longer merely a tool for competitiveness, but a lever to reduce consumption, emissions and waste, in full alignment with the principles of the fifth industrial revolution.

In this scenario, the role of technology providers has changed profoundly. Rather than simply supplying high-performance machinery, they must anticipate market changes, understand the needs of ceramic manufacturers before they are explicitly expressed and develop solutions capable of evolving in step with the sector. This is precisely the approach adopted by System Ceramics (a Coesia Group company) ever since it embarked on its Smart Factory journey.

GENYA: A SOLUTION BASED ON LISTENING

In 2020, as glazing lines became increasingly complex, longer and more technologically demanding, they also became more difficult to manage manually. In response, System Ceramics developed Genya, a hardware and software system designed for tracking ceramic surfaces and synchronising applications along the line . This was not a reactive fix for an existing problem, but a proactive solution for an emerging requirement.

Initially designed for large formats, where the complexity of synchronisation is most evident, its modular architecture has gradually expanded its scope to include more dynamic production runs and smaller formats. Since its launch, the system has undergone constant evolution, adapting to changes in technology and production requirements, and responding flexibly to the challenges of an increasingly dynamic sector where demand dictates rapid changes in format, design or technical specifications. System Ceramics has progressively integrated this capability by listening closely to the specific needs of its customers.

智能工厂并非抽象概念，而是陶瓷行业应对生产工艺 日趋复杂的现实解决方案。在全价值链环节融合传 感器、机器人、人工智能及高端控制系统，已将传统 工厂转型为互联互通的数字化整体体系：每台设备互 联互通，每道工序产生数据，每一组数据支撑决策制 定。

随着 2024 年“转型 5.0”计划的启动，意大利陶瓷 行业在技术创新、能效提升与可持续发展领域的投 资获得了进一步激励。

数字化

已不再单纯是提升企 业竞争力的手段，更是降低能耗、减排降耗、减少生 产废弃物的重要抓手，完全契合第五次工业革命的发 展理念。

在此行业背景下，技术服务商的角色已发生深刻转 变。企业不再只是单纯供应高性能设备，更要预判市 场走势、提前洞悉陶瓷生产企业的潜在需求，研发可 随行业发展同步迭代的整体解决方案。这也正是西 斯特姆（西瑞斯 (Coesia) 集团旗下企业）布局智能 工厂领域以来一贯践行的发展思路。

GENYA：深耕需求 量身定制

2020 年，随着施釉生产线结构日趋复杂、产线更 长、技术门槛不断提高，依靠人工管控的难度也随之 加大。为此，西斯特姆研发推出 Genya 整套软硬件 系统，用于陶瓷表面全程追踪，并实现全线各工序同 步作业。该产品并非针对现有问题的被动补救措施， 而是面向行业新兴需求提前布局的前瞻性解决方 案。

系统最初针对大规格板材研发——这类产品的工序 同步难度最为突出；依托 模块化架构，其适用范围已 逐步拓展至柔性化生产场景及中小规格产品。自问 世以来，Genya 持续迭代升级，不断适配技术革新 与生产需求变化；同时灵活应对行业快速多变的市 场环境，满足由终端需求驱动的规格、花色设计及技 术参数快速切换。西斯特姆始终深度倾听客户个性 化需求，逐步完善并落地了这一整套技术能力。

CENTRALISED CONTROL: SIMPLIFYING COMPLEXITY

Genya responds to a very real challenge: glazing lines have expanded and evolved considerably, incorporating a growing number of technologies that require constant coordination. Managing this complexity manually leads to inefficiencies, errors and wastage of both time and resources.

Genya resolves this by centralising the control of all System Ceramics machines in the glazing area through a single, intuitive interface. This architecture improves efficiency and quality and reduces waste and energy consumption , while ensuring total traceability and operational flexibility, even when production layouts change.

TOTAL TRACEABILITY: FROM QR CODE TO PRODUCTION RECORD

One of the areas where System Ceramics’ forward-thinking approach is most visible is traceability. Genya has introduced QR code tracking , which involves marking each ceramic surface with a unique code that is read at the machine entrance. The software knows exactly which process to apply to each product, even when printing different faces of the same pattern, as every single face is tracked individually for every surface present on the line.

This brings immediate operational benefits . A tile can be removed from the line, tested and reinserted without causing any misalignment in the production sequence, eliminating the need for manual monitoring and drastically reducing

集中管控：化繁为简

Genya 直面行业真实痛点：施釉生产线规模大幅扩容、 工艺持续升级，集成的技术设备越来越多，亟需全程协同 调度。依靠人工管控这般复杂产线，容易造成效率偏低、 操作失误，以及时间与资源的浪费。

Genya 通过单一可视化操作界面，对施釉车间内西斯特 姆所有设备实现集中管控，彻底化解上述难题。这套架构 不仅 提升生产效率与产品品质、降低物料损耗和能耗，还 可实现全流程可追溯、保持生产调度灵活，即便生产布 局调整也不受影响。

全流程追溯：从二维码到生产档案 可追溯体系，最能体现西斯特姆的前瞻研发思 路。Genya 搭载 二维码追踪功能，为每一块陶瓷坯体赋 予专属识别码，在设备入口完成扫码读取。系统可精准匹 配每件产品对应的加工工艺；即便同一图案需印制不同 版面，产线上每一块砖面、每一处版面均可独立追踪识 别。

这能带来立竿见影的运行效益。瓷砖可从产线上取下送 检，完成检测后再重新放回产线，全程不会打乱生产排 序；既无需人工值守跟进，也大幅降低了人为出错风险。

the risk of error. Fewer errors also mean less waste and lower material and energy consumption. But traceability is not limited to real-time operations given that Genya records printing conditions even many hours after production. Ink temperature, glazing parameters and other critical variables are associated with each tracked surface, allowing irregularities to be detected and the causes of any defects to be traced, even retrospectively. This creates a production record that transforms data into a tool for continuous improvement.

ACTIVE OPTIMISATION: LEARNING FROM THE FIELD

Rather than developing solutions in the laboratory and then transferring them to the market, System Ceramics evolves them by listening to what is happening on the factory floor. A prime example of this is the synchronisation of printhead cleaning cycles, one of Genya’s most valued features. In the past, each machine would stop independently for cleaning, resulting in short but frequent stoppages along the line. Genya coordinates these tasks in a single, synchronised stop that allows all machines to be cleaned simultaneously. This seemingly minor detail, when multiplied across daily production cycles, translates into significant time savings, reduced energy consumption and overall process optimisation.

A FUTURE-ORIENTED SYSTEM

Ongoing software developments will further enhance Genya’s capabilities, moving towards complete process traceability and even more detailed parameter monitoring, thereby enabling manufacturers to identify the causes of defects even long after production.

Ink Refill Technology

INK REFILL TECHNOLOGY

The Ink Refill Technology system developed by Vibrotech solves problems relating to manual ink refilling in digital printers but also brings clear environmental benefits and improvements to the digital decoration process. Rather than small 5 or 10 litre cans, the inks are supplied in 1,000 litre (or larger) drums and transferred to the dedicated dispensers that form the heart of the Ink Refill Technology system. Supplied in series, they are equipped with an Industry 4.0 control panel complete with level indicators that monitor consumption and automatically place an order with the ink producer when a fresh supply is needed. Inside these special storage tanks (with inclined bases to avoid sedimentation), a pneumatic pump automatically mixes the ink (with user-programmable times) to keep it continuously recirculating, filtered and ready to use.Ink Refill Technology can be supplied in either manual or automatic versions. In the manual version, the operator draws ink from the dispenser manually using a single 5-litre bottle and fills up the digital printer in the traditional manner. In the automatic version, the storage tank is connected directly to the printer for automatic ink filling.

Ink Refill Technology

Vibrotech 开发的 Ink Refill Technology 系统不 仅解决了数字印刷机人工补墨的问题，还为数字装 饰工艺带来了显著的环境效益和改进。

油墨不再以小型 5 升或 10 升罐供应，而是以 1000 升（或更大）桶装供应，并被转移到构成 Ink Refill Technology 系统核心的专用分配器中。这些分配 器成列配置，配备符合工业 4.0 标准的控制面板，带 有液位指示器，可监测消耗并在需要补给时自动向 油墨生产商下订单。在这些特殊储罐内（底部倾斜 以防止沉淀），气动泵会自动按用户可编程的时间混 合油墨，使其持续循环、过滤并保持可用状态。

Ink Refill Technology 可提供手动或自动两种版 本。在手动版本中，操作员使用单个 5 升瓶从分配 器手动取墨，并以传统方式为数字印刷机加墨。在 自动版本中，储罐直接连接到印刷机以实现自动加 墨。

The key feature of the automatic Ink Refill Technology system is the ink distribution circuit running from the dispensers to the digital machines. The system is designed to ensure that the inks flow continuously throughout the entire circuit, including the hoses connecting the storage tanks to the digital machines and the corresponding valve units. In practice, the complete absence of stagnant areas in the ink circuit avoids all risk of sedimentation. This programmed recirculation is performed on average twice a day and has proved extremely useful during production stoppages, especially for extended periods of time.

When the quantity of ink in the inkjet tanks falls below a pre-set level, the level indicators send a signal to the system which in turn controls the automatic opening of the distribution valve unit and the consequent supply of a given quantity of pre-filtered ink. As well as reducing the operator’s workload, automatic refilling eliminates potential colour loading errors in the machine while at the same time preventing impurities from entering the printers.

The automatic Ink Refill Technology system has a centralised control panel, complete with a touchscreen connected to the factory’s management system, which controls all system operations, provides real-time information on ink levels and consumptions for each individual machine, and automatically makes the call for a new ink order. The data are also available via a dedicated mobile phone app.

The plant can be connected to any kind of digital printer and operates with any liquid digital material (solvent- or water-based inks, effects, glazes and digital glues). It takes just 10 days to install and is fully modular (the modules are connected via an Ethernet/IP protocol), thereby simplifying subsequent expansions in terms of number of colours and/or printers. ◼

自动版 Ink Refill Technology 系统的 关键特征是 油墨分配回 路，该回路从分配器延伸 至数字印刷机。该系统 旨在确保油墨在整个回 路内持续流动，包括连 接储罐与数字印刷机的 软管及相应的阀单元。

实际上，油墨回路中完 全没有滞留区域可避免 任何沉淀风险。这种程 序化的循环平均每天执 行两次，在生产停机（尤 其是长时间停机）期间 被证明极为有用。

当喷墨罐中的油墨数量 低于预设水平时，液位 指示器会向系统发送信 号，系统进而控制分配 阀单元的自动打开，并 供应一定量的预过滤油 墨。自动补墨不仅减轻 了操作员的工作量，还消

除了机器可能的配色错 误，并防止杂质进入印 刷机。

自动版 Ink Refill Technology 系统具有 集中控制面板，配备连 接工厂管理系统的触摸 屏，控制所有系统操作， 提供每台机器的油墨液 位和实时消耗信息，并 自动发起新油墨订购。 这些数据也可通过专用 的手机应用获得。

该系统可连接到任何类 型的数字印刷机，并可使 用任何液态数字材料（ 溶剂型或水性油墨、效 果剂、釉料和数字胶）。 仅需 10 天即可安装，且 完全模块化（模块通过 以太网/IP 协议连接）， 从而简化后续在颜色数 量和/或印刷机方面的扩 展。◼

SJSpace, the new generation of digital structuring inks from Smalticeram, was designed to meet these needs, bringing together aesthetic quality, production efficiency and creative freedom, even on large surfaces. Thanks to its advanced formulation, SJSpace delivers high-definition, controlled textures while simultaneously enhancing the colour components integrated into the relief. The structure itself becomes an integral part of the surface’s visual language: colour penetrates into the body of the tile, following its volumes and heightening its three-dimensionality. The result is a pronounced yet natural effect that ensures uniform, sharp definition on surfaces of any size.

One of the main advantages of SJSpace regards digitalisation of the production process. The ink can be applied at the start of

the line, eliminating the need for synchronisation between multiple digital machines and overcoming the challenges of graphic registration. This approach simplifies the management of large-format production, reduces set-up times, improves line stability and minimises waste, ensuring greater consistency of the final result.

SJSpace also stands out for its application versatility. The technology adapts to different surface types and decorative concepts, from tactile, material-inspired interpretations to contemporary solutions featuring micro-textures and intricate 3D details. The high-definition structuring effect enhances every graphic element, transforming the surface into a coherent visual and tactile experience, even on extra-large slabs.

The result of Smalticeram’s ongoing R&D efforts, SJSpace represents a new frontier in digital structuring decoration. It is a functional and design-oriented solution that combines technological innovation and surface aesthetics while addressing the digitalisation and performance

requirements of large ceramic surfaces.
