The world's stone is mainly divided into two types: calcareous rough (commonly known as marble) and siliceous rough (commonly known as granite). At present, the proportion of the world's stone mining is about 56% and 39% respectively. Siliceous raw materials are mainly distributed in India, mainland China, South Africa, Brazil, Spain, the United States, etc., while calcareous roughs are distributed in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, France and other regions. In some regions, such as Italy, Spain, Greece and other European countries, due to early development, advanced mining technology and good ore body conditions, the production capacity accounts for about 50% of the world's production capacity; in recent years, Brazil, China, India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East As well as some emerging countries, due to abundant resources, low labor, and rapid increase in production capacity.
Looking back at the global production of rough stone in the past two decades, it is increasing year by year. The world's stone production consumption has grown by 70%, and advanced processing technology has made the application of stone more extensive. In terms of the distribution of world stone production, it accounts for 51% in Europe, 33.4% in Asia, 10.7% in the Americas, and 4.5% in Africa. Among them, the Italian crown still accounts for 17.2% of the world's production, mainly producing marble and limestone, followed by 15.7% in mainland China, 8.8% in Spain, and 8.1% in India. It is notable for the production of granite. Growing fast with India, stone production has grown by 19.2% and 33.3% in the last four years.
In terms of the amount of stone consumed, Europe is still the largest consumer of stone, and in Asia and the Americas, it is closely related to the origin of the stone. In terms of countries, the world's largest consumer country is Italy, accounting for 10.6% of the world's stone consumption, followed by China's 8.9%, followed by Germany, Japan, and the United States with 7.4%, 7.2%, and 5.9% respectively. Four or five.
Taiwan's stone industry began in the 1950s in the Republic of China, Hualien turbid water white marble, and in the 1960s, Qingshuixi serpentine, and in the late 1970s, granite began to import and supply domestic demand. By the 1980s, Taiwan's stone industry was on the world stage. It has a place on the top. Looking back over the past four decades, the stone industry can have such a development today, and the stone industry's slaps and bleak management have contributed.
Hualien is a distribution center for stone in Taiwan. It has 80% of the stone resources in Taiwan. Its stone processing equipment and production capacity ranks second in the world after Italy. More than 15-20% of Hualien residents are engaged in stone-related industries, and Taiwan. 80% of the population engaged in the collection of Ya Shi, Art and Kistler is Hualien, so Hualien is known as the hometown of stone. Hualien has an airport, a port, iron and highway. It is convenient to have about 300 stone processing factories and related industries. It is located in the city of Hualien City, which is 15 minutes' drive away. It is the best in global conditions and has the greatest development potential. Stone processing center.
Since the 1990s, the European region has experienced a sluggish situation in the European region. In the Asian region, it was late in 1998 due to the financial crisis. Due to the global recession, the two sides joined the WTO and had a huge impact on the stone industry. In the face of this turbulent and volatile overall market environment, the stone industry must have complete supporting measures to overcome environmental uncertainty and once again establish Taiwan's leading position in the Asian stone industry:
In the face of this situation, where is the Taiwan stone industry going? To find answers to this question, you can analyze it from the perspective of knowledge economy. We know that the global mining volume of stone mines has increased year by year, and the demand for stone has increased year by year. This indicates that this market is still promising. We further understand that the demand for standardized building materials in Asia is the mainstay, such as the building materials inside and outside the building; in Europe, it is more diversified. In addition to architectural specifications, stone art and crafts are also large. Through analysis, the domestic stone industry has long been dominated by building materials. However, the cost of stone products is about 60% of the cost of raw materials. If we continue to develop towards the building materials industry, we will face the shortage of Taiwan's processing cost competitiveness. Therefore, the future direction of Taiwan's stone industry should break through in the direction of diversified products of art and technology, and develop products with differentiated and high added value.
Since the Stone Age, regardless of ancient China, Egypt or Europe, stone has been widely used by humans. Stones and humans have been associated with each other for thousands of years. We can prove that a large number of stone materials can be seen from ancient architecture or art. In the historical value of human beings, products supported by historical and cultural backgrounds will not be short-lived and will not retreat. Therefore, the stone industry must make good use of the best historical culture and then integrate into humanities and technology, and combine art design with modern technology to develop differentiated, high value-added stone products. General Manager Lin said that stone is a resource for nature, and its texture, color, hardness and shape have different characteristics and characteristics. And how does humanities and technology integrate historical culture across disciplines to produce high value-added stone products? This is the most important mission of Taiwan's current stone.
To combine humanities and technology, we must think about the three characteristics of stone properties, market demand and art design. First, what are the characteristics of stone mines? How does its texture represent historical culture or human preferences? Can mechanical automation processing technology accurately produce designed patterns? Can we achieve mass production scale? The second thing to think about is whether the beauty of art design can combine mass production technology and create fashion to meet market demand. And how to integrate art design into industrial technology and become a stone art industry with humanistic qualities.
Taiwan Stone is specialized in the field of mineral knowledge, stone grinding bits, precision machinery control, processing mechanisms, control systems and other single-chip processing technologies. In addition, for the combination of humanities, art and technology, through the combination of local groups, the management of local characteristics, and the overall construction of the community, such as holding stone art competitions, combining with the stone carving art season, setting up exhibition halls, publishing stone magazines, integrating the eastern The tourism industry and the domestic stone industry create domestic demand.
For individual designers or artists scattered around the world, they should also discover them and integrate their creative ideas into the stone to inject new life into the stone industry. Therefore, the Taiwan stone industry cooperates with the central and local governments and related industries to plan stone care rooms (similar to breeding centers) and stone art villages. The stone nursery provides equipment, technology and consulting services for the ideal creation of a personal studio. The Stone Art Village, which is surrounded by mountains and seas, attracts international stone artists and designers. Whether it is a leisure resort or a seclusion, one or two months a year, the brainchild of this creation, and the small amount of production can be assisted by Taiwan Stone. Promotion and marketing. In terms of international marketing, Taiwan Stone participated in the world's famous exhibitions to showcase the high value-added products developed by Taiwan. In Hualien, the exhibition hall was set up, and international stone exhibitions and international stone boutique design competitions were often held to attract outstanding design talents. Develop products for Taiwan.
In addition to combining humanities, the stone industry must also combine technology with the following key themes:
※Building a stone knowledge base There are many kinds of stone materials in the world, and it is widely distributed. Therefore, it is necessary to use information and network technology to collect the ore sources of the world, use geological mineralization theory and digital information processing technology to assist, analyze, organize and predict. It becomes a useful "stone knowledge base"; in this way, we can combine the art and design from the raw material stage to select the most suitable mining method, and develop the aesthetic raw materials "completely" to fully express the natural beauty of the stone.
※Design modularity The product can be called industry by mass production. The design creator fully demonstrates the design of "product aesthetics". In addition to the design considerations in terms of "human-machine interface", the ability to machine is often the most critical. In order to integrate art into the stone industry, the concept of “design modularity†was initiated to address the limitations of designing innovative products that could not be mass-produced. For example, if you design a human model, your eyes will have multiple expressions. How do you fully present your eyes and eyes on the stone? If the possible design patterns are placed in the database for the designer to choose according to the stone's characteristic parameters and processing technology, the waste of repetitive design can be reduced, and the processing technology equipment that can be mass-produced is confirmed at the design stage. The real stone art "design industry".
※Innovation to create value-added technology, especially the integration of cross-domain knowledge and technology applications, often brings added value to the product. For example, glass and tile, after being exposed to the sun and rain outdoors, it becomes dull. . If nanotechnology is applied, the surface of the tile is treated to have a self-cleaning function. As long as a rain washes out, it can be as bright as ever, and added value will be born. In addition, if you can combine IT technologies such as Internet, e-commerce, audio-visual multimedia, etc., it is also very helpful for the promotion and marketing of stone products.
※Recycling of resources After the treatment of stone waste, it can also be used as a raw material for another product. It can be made into tiles, flooring, handicrafts, fertilizers, etc. by means of cementation, high temperature, high pressure, and refining. Taiwan's stone technology has been developed for many years, and the technology has matured. However, waste recycling is still attached to environmental protection or other industries, and industrial settlements have not yet formed. In the future, we should use resource technology to explore new uses of stone waste, create market demand for resource reuse, and form a complete mid-stream industry system for stone.
There are two development spindles in the future of stone. The first axis is to expand the application of stone, making stone become a comprehensive development of domestic building materials. Stone is only a part of building materials. It combines stone with other building materials such as wood, plastic, metal, etc., so that the application range of the original stone is expanded to the field of building materials, so that the application of stone tends to be complete. The second axis is to integrate the design art components into the stone field, develop new technologies across the field, and move towards becoming the goal of Asia-Pacific Taiwanese stone, and think about global strategic planning, and one day become the world's stone research and development center.
Looking back at the global production of rough stone in the past two decades, it is increasing year by year. The world's stone production consumption has grown by 70%, and advanced processing technology has made the application of stone more extensive.
