About the Exhibit

In the 23^rd CeramBath, stone tiles and wood tiles are still expanding the market, while micro crystal tiles, polished glazed tiles and thin tiles are cooling down a little. Besides, background tiles and mosaics are getting more and more popular for their individuality.

Since the release in the 22^nd CeramBath, cement tiles are getting hot and have been showed out by over 20 enterprises in this session. Among many matt cement tiles, polished cement tiles receive good response from Korean buyers. Benefitting from the improvement of inkjet technology, stone tiles and wood tiles become better in both texture and craft. Some exhibitors showed the excellent effect of stone tiles and wood tiles in overall space by Mashup. The better texture effect and physical property would win the market.

Micro crystal tiles and polished glazed tiles are less popular compared with previous sessions. Only a few exhibitors take them as main products. With the perfection of inkjet technology, the design gets richer, while price more reasonable. Meanwhile, the green thin tiles are relatively less shown, owing to technology requirement, consumer recognition and professional paving requirement. Its future development has yet to be built by cooperation of more enterprises.
