From the 80’s of the last century, the stone industry in our country has been entered into the stage of rapid development. Nowadays, the industrial structure of China has been from the past "three stone" industries stone, marble , granite , terrazzo, develop into a comprehensive industry, which set machinery, diamonds, stone carving, landscape stone, stone material culture industry and so on. The researchers said that there are three main reasons of economic benefit in our country: all sorts of domestic infrastructure construction and major national construction needs a large number of stone; Residents family adornment demand for the stone material is increasing rapidly; Decorative plate and stone, stone carvings are growing in the export.

In the next few years, the trend of consumption in our country is that the import of technology and equipment of stone material will further increase. Nowadays, the utilization rate of stone mining resources in our country is low, the waste material rates of most mining are lower than 50%, and the advanced technology and equipment will improve the resource utilization. Most of the slab processing export competitiveness of stone material enterprise is insufficient, the proportion of our country export is not high enough. In the state of keep stable total weight of export, it is necessary to adjust the structure of export products. The enterprise will improve the quality and proportion of industrial production of material, especially pay attention to brand products that meet the quality and other service requirement of foreign importers. The shortage stone varieties will be further growth in our country, especially all kinds of import.

Nowadays, the current domestic consumption of granite slab is several times of marble, and it has a great deviation for the consumption structure of the world stone. In the future, the building designer, decoration engineering designers and project owner in our country will have a new demand of stone material under the factors, like the market price and so on.
