Ceramic tiles (Foshan)

In the first half of 2023, Foshan achieved a regional GDP of 607.077 billion yuan, maintaining its position as the third-largest in Guangdong Province. As a representative of traditional manufacturing, Foshan's broad home furnishing industry has a strong foundation. It is one of the world's largest production bases for refrigerators, microwave ovens, rice cookers, water heaters, electric fans, disinfection cabinets, range hoods, ceramics, and aluminum profiles. Today, the total industrial output value of Foshan's broad home furnishing industry exceeds 1 trillion yuan, and its products are sold worldwide, with exports to more than 100 countries and regions. For example, Beijiao in Shunde, Foshan, is one of the world's largest microwave oven production bases.

In 1986, Foshan introduced its first automated wall and floor tile production line, marking the beginning of a splendid chapter in the rapid development of China's building ceramic industry, and as the 1990s rolled in, with the flourishing real estate sector, numerous tile factories sprouted up in Foshan. The abundant resources of black clay in Guangdong were conducive to producing high-quality tiles, contributing to the excellent reputation of "Guangdong tiles" today.
