This study analyzes Chinese demand for countertops in residential kitchen
and bathroom applications. Other countertops used in the laundry room or on wet
or dry bars are not included. Additionally, surfaces installed on tables and other
furniture are excluded. In this study, countertops are defined to include the
countertop surface, as well as the edging and a backsplash, but not countertop
materials used as wall coverings. In addition, the study discusses construction,
consumer financing, regulatory and other market environment factors.
Historical data are provided for 1995, 2000 and 2005, with forecasts to 2010 and 2015.
Countertop demand is provided in current Chinese yuan and square meters and is
detailed by surface material (e.g., solid surface, natural stone, tile, laminate,
engineered stone, and others) and product type (kitchen and bath). Countertop
demand is also shown in square meters by end use (e.g., single family and multiple
family) and regional markets.
All of the national market statistics presented exclude countertop supply and demand in Hong Kong and Macau, even though these special administrative regions formally became part of the People's Republic of China during the late 1990s -- Hong Kong in 1997 and Macau in 1999. Taiwan, which is economically independent from the rest of China and not under the administration of the central government, is excluded from the scope of this study as well.
