A few days ago, from Guangdong, Shandong, Fujian, Sichuan, Hubei, Liaoning and other production areas of random survey learned that, although different production areas and stone enterprises bear the cost of rising pressure are different, but all said that cost increases greatly increase the burden of enterprises. "We have to raise prices after the beginning of 2018 in order to ease the pressure due to a 30 percent year-on-year increase in overall production costs in 2017," some companies said.
In 2018, the price of sanitary ware is bound to rise, not only the price of raw materials rises, but also the labor costs in recent years. Let's take a look at the price of several factors:
China will levy environmental protection tax from January 1, 2018

At the same time, marketing costs, environmental protection investment and other expenses continue to grow, for sanitary enterprises to add new pressure. However, in the cruel and fierce competition in the market, although most bathroom manufacturers raised product prices in the second half of 2017, but it is still difficult to offset all the cost pressure. Many bathroom people said that after the 2018 Spring Festival, the bathroom industry will also usher in a wave of price rises. The most important thing is the consumer end, the same product, the same configuration, the same workmanship, but the year after the problem, the follow-up will spend a lot of money, now most brand agents dealers still have a lot of inventory, ready to buy a house, decoration, replacement of consumers, now buy back really save a sum.
