With the widespread popularity of new life propositions such as "low-carbon", "environmental protection", and "green", artificial stones that are more in line with the demands of circular economy and energy conservation and environmental protection have gradually become the mainstream trend in product development in the stone industry.

The artificial stone industry, which represents the circular economy, still mainly consists of two categories of products: granite and quartz. Currently, the artificial stone in the stone industry is mostly organic artificial stone, which uses 80% of natural stone powder or fragments, about 10% of resin materials, and other small amounts of dyeing agents to produce artificial stone. Artificial granite has a hardness similar to marble and is widely used for floors, walls, and carvings, but cannot be used for countertops; Quartz artificial stone, which has a higher hardness than marble, is widely used as a countertop in home spaces.

At present, both foreign and domestic markets can accept quartz stone board as a high-quality material for table panels, so the artificial stone market has broad prospects. The stone industry predicts that artificial stone has a market prospect of over a hundred billion yuan, as there is very high demand in the United States and Australia, and consumption demand in Southeast Asia is just starting. Therefore, it is speculated that artificial stone has a prosperous period of at least five years.

Faced with the market prospect of billions of yuan, stone companies are flocking to new avenues. At present, the competition pressure in the field of artificial stones is already very high. "For artificial quartz stone enterprises alone, there are more than 500 in the country, all of which have a scale of 300 to 500 million, which is not very large." According to relevant data disclosed by the stone machinery factory, in 2016 alone, Guangdong Province added 60 new quartz stone artificial stone production lines.

At present, there is not much difference in the technology of artificial stone making in the industry, and it is necessary to do a good job in process research and development, quality monitoring, and other production links in order to maintain advantages. Artificial stones contain resin, and enterprise products with inadequate technical requirements may have a resin odor, which is not healthy and environmentally friendly. In terms of material selection, Bitu selects all imported titanium dioxide powder and some choose imported MMA, imported gemstones, and quartz ore from India. All products have passed the NSF food safety certification in the United States and the SGS fire and antibacterial testing in Switzerland. They are food grade countertops, healthy, safe, and environmentally friendly, and strictly control quality and product environmental safety.

Under the guidance of Industry 4.0 theory, the Bitu manufacturing base adopts a PLC fully automatic computer control system, a 3500 ton strong vibration vacuum press, and a 100 degree constant temperature tunnel furnace. After high-temperature and high-pressure vacuum synthesis, the product hardness can reach up to 7 degrees Mohs. The product has become a model in the industry with high quality and stable quality.

In addition, for the artificial stone industry that has already entered the fast lane, there are still problems such as price chaos. Some low-end products that lack technological innovation and insufficient environmental protection of equipment are still hovering in the low price zone. Some high-quality products that rely on technology, design innovation, and emphasis on environmental protection are strictly controlling their quality, showing a trend of rising against the trend. However, overall, the trend of artificial stone products from organic to inorganic development and high-quality development to increase added value is the main theme of future development.
