The 23rd Xiamen International Stone Fair.

Xiamen (China), June 2023.- The 23rd edition of the Xiamen Stone fair was finally held in normal conditions from 5 to 8 June 2023, with the pandemic finally behind us. While the number of local visitors increased by around 25% compared to the 2019 edition, the number of international visitors reached 50% of the numbers for that show, according to the organisers.

Most likely problems of flights availability and delays in obtaining visas accounted for some of the reduced international presence. Much has changed in the Chinese stone industry since the last normal edition held 4 years ago. The construction activity in China is lower tan it was then, but it remains the most important market for blocks exporters from all over the world. And buyers too are returning once again.
