Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, for Chinese ceramics people, how can we continue our product innovation in the days when there is no Bologna exhibition or cannot participate in the Bologna exhibition?

As the phenomenon of "thunderstorms" among real estate companies continues to occur and its negative impact persists for a long time, I believe that it will become a norm for ceramic companies to sue "thunderstorms" against real estate companies for a long time.
40 pan-high-amp to lithium wires have been broken
Ceramic tile production capacity is rapidly reduced by more than 20%
Recently, according to industry sources, two more ceramic companies in Gaoan Ceramics Park have switched their ceramic tile lines to lithium batteries, and this time more than five new ceramic tile lines have withdrawn. So far, according to statistics from the Ceramic Industry News, more than 40 Pan-Gaoan production areas have switched to lithium batteries. Under the lithium battery trend, ceramic tile production capacity in production areas has been rapidly reduced to more than 20% of the total high-security production capacity, and some leading and powerful companies have begun to benefit from this. Some industry insiders believe that the wave of lithium battery trends will have a certain impact on the production capacity of high-security production areas, especially the supply of cost-effective engineering products will decline to a certain extent. A marketing person in charge said that for more small and medium-sized brands, the trend of regional OEM production in Shanggao and even Hunan and Hubei will be more obvious.

It is gratifying that some ceramic companies have switched to the lithium battery field and achieved results, but ceramic people's lack of confidence in the industry and the hidden danger of overcapacity in the lithium battery industry are worrying!

To this day, the COVID-19 epidemic has still had a huge impact on all walks of life, including the ceramic industry. During the National Day holiday, I hope that ceramic people will not go out unless necessary, and will not regret it until they are affected by the epidemic.
