How important is anti slip of ceramic tiles? Let's first take a look at a set of data about 'slipping':

Zhang, from Hefei, slipped and fell while shopping at a supermarket and was injured. He was diagnosed with a fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot. The court later ruled that the supermarket should bear 60% of the responsibility and compensate for various losses of more than 40000 yuan;

Mr. Yu, who is over 50 years old, fell to the ground due to oil stains while dining in a restaurant. After being assessed by the hospital as a level 10 disability, the court ultimately ruled that the restaurant should compensate Mr. Yu for various losses totaling over 160000 yuan;

Li, an employee of a labor service company, was assigned by Company A to work as a cleaner in Company B. Due to the cold and freezing weather, he accidentally fell and was assessed as a Level 10 disability. Li then filed a lawsuit with the court, demanding that the two companies compensate him for various losses totaling 110000 yuan;

With the increasing number of safety accidents caused by slipping, the anti slip problem of ceramic tiles is gradually receiving attention from enterprises. Especially since 2015, the expansion of market demand and the promotion of relevant national standards have led many ceramic companies in the industry to pay more attention to improving the anti slip performance of ceramic tiles when developing new products. Some companies have even introduced "anti slip tiles" with high anti slip properties as a new category to the market.

So, how big is the market for anti slip ceramic tiles? The answers from industry insiders to this question are not entirely consistent.

Although the concept of anti-skid in China has only recently gained attention, it cannot be ignored that the improvement of anti-skid performance of ceramic tiles is a trend and a fundamental step towards aligning Chinese ceramic construction with the world's ceramic construction. If Chinese ceramic tiles want to make greater breakthroughs in the international market, they should not only focus on decorative functions, but also further improve their anti slip function, flexural strength, and other aspects.

At the same time, domestic consumer demand is gradually expanding. With the exposure of safety problems, many consumers began to pay attention to the anti-skid problem of ceramic tiles. Especially with the deepening of China's aging population and the liberalization of the country's two child policy, the anti-skid problem in places where the elderly and children are concentrated is more widely concerned. The market for anti slip ceramic tiles will continue to grow. The industry has basically reached a consensus on this point.
