As an enterprise in the ceramic industry, A-diffusion opened its production site and explained quality control processes, enabling customers to intuitively experience the quality control process of tiles from raw materials to finished products. This has become an epitome of the industry's response to market competition through transparent practices in 2025. Foshan is a core cluster for China's architectural ceramic industry. Relying on a complete industrial chain ecosystem, it gathers mature resources from raw material supply to manufacturing. The production base opened by A-diffusion this time covers mainstream tile categories such as porcelain tiles and antique tiles. Its production lines adopt basic equipment meeting the "dual carbon" requirements, representing the conventional advanced level of the regional industry.

The finished product inspection area was the focus of customers' attention. Staff conducted random inspections on tiles in accordance with national standards, focusing on testing water absorption rate (porcelain tiles ≤ 0.5%), anti-slip coefficient (for common grades such as R11) and flexural strength, to ensure that the products leaving the factory meet standards. "I was worried about the quality of low-priced products before, but after seeing the inspection process in person, I feel more at ease about future cooperation," an overseas buyer said, adding that the previous concerns caused by the industry's "increasing volume but falling prices" have been completely dispelled.

I.What is China's National Standard for Tile Anti-Slip Ratings?



China's current applicable standard is GB/T 4100-2015 《Ceramic Tiles》. In this standard, anti-slip performance is evaluated based on two indicators: Static Friction Coefficient (COF) and Dynamic Friction Coefficient (DIN), and is classified into 5 grades:




#unit-I5orO1yKpNBVxNU [ce-data-type="text"]{text-align:center;}#unit-I5orO1yKpNBVxNU{padding-left:1vw;padding-right:1vw;}



R9 (COF ≥ 0.5): Mild antislip, suitable for dry indoor environments (e.g., bedrooms, living rooms).
R10 (COF ≥ 0.6): Moderate anti-slip, suitable for occasionally wet and slippery areas such as kitchens and balconies.
R11 (COF ≥ 0.7): Strong anti-slip, recommended for high-frequency wet and slippery scenarios like bathrooms and restaurants.
R12 (COF ≥ 0.8): High anti-slip, used in public toilets, areas around swimming pools, etc.
R13 (COF ≥ 0.9): Ultra-high anti-slip, applicable to extreme environments such as ramps and industrial workshops.


Professional data source: Appendix M of GB/T 4100-2015 issued by 《the State Administration for Market Regulation of China》. The testing methods include the inclined platform method (EN 13036-4) and the pendulum test method (DIN 51130). A higher numerical value indicates stronger anti-slip performance.

II. How to Select Anti-Slip Ratings Based on Scenarios?
1. Residential Scenarios For bathroom and kitchen floors, an anti-slip rating of **R11 or above** is recommended, especially for households with the elderly or children. - For living rooms and bedrooms, R9-R10 is a suitable choice, balancing safety and aesthetics. 2. Public Scenarios Shopping malls, hospital corridors require an anti-slip rating of **R12 or above** to avoid slip risks in crowded areas. - Outdoor steps and ramps **mandatorily require R13**, in compliance with the "Technical Specification for Anti-slip of Building Flooring Engineering" (JGJ/T 331-2014).

III.Comparison of Differences Between International Standards and China's StandardsEurope and the United States commonly adopt standards such as ASTM C1028 (U.S.) and DIN 51130 (Germany). The main differences are as follows:
Testing Methods:In the U.S., a dry/wet COF ≥ 0.6 is regarded as the safety threshold; in Germany, classification is based on ramp angles (e.g., Grade A corresponds to a 9°-10° incline).
Rating Labeling:

China directly labels with R-values; some European countries use the "ABC" classification (e.g., anti-slip Grade B ≈ R11).

IV. 3 Practical Tips to Avoid Mistakes When Purchasing Anti-Slip Tiles 1. Check the Test Report: Request the merchant to provide anti-slip coefficient test data certified by CMA (China Inspection Body and Laboratory Mandatory Approval). 2. On-Site Verification: Pour water on the tile surface on-site, then rub it with shoe soles to check for obvious resistance. 3. Focus on Surface Technology: Prioritize tiles with matte finish, concave-convex texture, or anti-slip glaze treatment. Additional Reminder: Anti-slip performance will deteriorate due to wear and tear during use. It is recommended to regularly clean oil stains and avoid waxing the tiles. During project acceptance, re-testing can be conducted in accordance with the "Standard for Testing Bond Strength of Facing Bricks in Building Engineering" (JGJ 110-2017).

二、Tile Laying Precautions


1.Before Laying
Check tile batches: Use tiles from the same batch in the same area (avoid color difference);
Soak tiles (only for tiles with water absorption rate ＞10%): Soak until no bubbles appear, then fish out and drain (prevent hollowing caused by tiles absorbing moisture from the adhesive layer).

2.During Laying
Adhesive layer to be mixed and used immediately: Tile adhesive/cement mortar must be used within 2 hours after mixing (avoid solidification and failure);
Adjust deviations in time: If tiles are tilted or hollow, re-lay them before the adhesive layer solidifies (within 1 hour).

3.After Laying
Prohibit early use: Do not roll heavy objects on the floor within 7 days after laying; do not hang heavy objects on the wall within 10 days after laying;
Cleaning taboos: Do not scratch the tile surface with sharp tools; clean stains with neutral detergent (prevent corrosion of tiles or grout).

ACIMAC research Dept/MECS anticipates to Ceramic World Review the key figures of the 13th edition of the annual report “World production and consumption of ceramic tiles”. In 2024 world tile production and consumption fell by 6.2% and 6.8% respectively. World tile import-export flows also saw a decrease, down 2.5% on 2023.





#unit-dV7RCDr2nU33iqF{padding-left:2vw;padding-right:2vw;}

The 13th edition of the study “World production and consumption of ceramic tiles” produced by MECS / Acimac Research Centre is due to be published in October. The study – previewed in Ceramic World Review No. 163 – runs to almost 300 pages of charts, tables and commentary, and examines in detail the ten-year trend to 2024 for the industry, the market, per capita consumption and import-export flows, both by macro-region and for the 76 largest tile producing, consuming, exporting and importing countries.

For each country there is also an in-depth breakdown of import and export volumes by product type: porcelain stoneware, single-fired and double-fired tiles, and other materials.

As in previous years, the study will be accompanied by the publication of the volume entitled “Ceramic Tile Market Forecast Analysis 2025-2029”, which provides an updated five-year forecast for the global ceramic tile market.




Global tile production fell below 15 billion sqmOverall, the global ceramic industry and market continued to experience a downturn in 2024, following the negative trends observed in 2022-2023. The persistent economic slowdown and international geopolitical tensions further cooled global tile demand and resulted in another contraction in worldwide production and trade volumes, with percentage declines slightly worse than in 2023.


World tile production fell to 14,950 million sqm in 2024, 6.2% down on the 15,937 million sqm in 2023. Although almost all regions experienced a decline in production, the vast majority of the 987 million sqm contraction occurred in Asia and North Africa.


Asia’s output fell 6.5%, from 11.6 to 10.9 billion sqm, equivalent to 72.8% of global production. China saw a contraction of 820 million sqm, partially offset by a recovery of more than 100 million sqm in Vietnam. Europe produced 1,615 million sqm (10.9% of the world total).


span>Thanks to a rebound in Spain, the European Union posted a modest 1.4% growth in output (from 1,039 to 1,054 million sqm), still far from offsetting the 18% contraction of 2023.


Production in non-EU Europe dropped to 561 million sqm (-8.8%), largely due to a lower output in Turkey.


Production in the American continent also fell, dropping to 1,428 million sqm. North America saw a decline in output from 349 to 328 million sqm (-6%), while production in Central and South America slipped to 1,100 million sqm, a decrease of 2.1%.

Finally, production in Africa saw its first contraction after more than a decade of growth, dropping from 1,178 to 1,025 million sqm (-13%). This was attributable to the sharp decline in Egypt and, to a lesser extent, in Algeria, while output in the Sub-Saharan area maintained 2023 levels.

The international trade decreased to 2.67 billion sqm
In 2024, world exports also fell for the third consecutive year with a decline of 2.5% (essentially repeating the -2.4% of 2023).



A total of 2,674 million sqm of ceramic tiles were exported worldwide, 69 million sqm less than the previous year. This drop is almost entirely attributable to Asia (down from 1,539 to 1,472 million sqm; -4.3%), which in effect means China and India.


By contrast, exports from other areas remained substantially unchanged. Exports from the European Union dropped from 770 to 768 million sqm (-0.2%); Central and South America from 138 to 132 million sqm (-4.2%); North America from 43 to 39 million sqm (-10.8%); and Africa from 121 to 111 million sqm (-7.9%).

One positive exception was the recovery in exports from non-EU Europe (from 132 to 151 million sqm; +14.7%), driven by the strong performance of Turkey.
