Building Momentum Together: Charting the Industry’s New Future
As an annual high-profile event in China’s sanitaryware industry, the T8 Summit has consistently aligned with policy directives and industrial upgrading needs, helping enterprises grasp macro-trends, access high-end resources, and foster collaborative ecosystems. This year’s summit focused on critical topics such as the construction of “Quality Housing,” urban renewal, smart technology, low-carbon transformation, and global market expansion. Through policy interpretations, trend releases, and dialogues among top enterprises, the event injected fresh ideas and momentum into the industry.
In his opening speech, Qin Zhanxue, President of the China Building Materials Circulation Association, emphasized that China is currently undergoing a transformation in consumption structures, with upgrade-driven demand becoming the mainstream. Although the sanitaryware industry is affected by the real estate market’s adjustments, companies should actively strengthen brand building, promote intelligent, green, high-end, and digital transformations, and integrate into the wave of international development. He urged enterprises to persist in innovation, providing higher-quality building materials and sanitaryware products for “Quality Housing” projects, thereby contributing to better living standards for people.
Li Zuoqi, Chairman of the Ceramic and Sanitaryware Dealers Committee of the China Building Materials Circulation Association, delivered a welcome address, offering insights into the industry’s trends for the second half of the year. He encouraged enterprises to maintain confidence and focus on their core businesses amidst a complex and ever-changing market environment. By enhancing product and service competitiveness, companies can seize new opportunities and achieve steady and sustainable development.
Liang Yang, Director of the Department of Science, Technology, and Industrialization Development at the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, provided an authoritative interpretation and sharing on strategic support for technological innovation, new urbanization and the “Four Good” initiatives, the application and development of green building materials, and current key tasks.
During the oath-taking ceremony for the “Kunming Declaration on Accelerating the Globalization of China’s Sanitaryware Industry,” Huo Zhaohong joined representatives from other leading sanitaryware brands to solemnly pledge, demonstrating the determination of Chinese sanitaryware enterprises to expand globally and build a collective global brand. At the sanitaryware industry chain roundtable forum, Huo stated, “In the future, we will steadfastly transition from ‘product exports’ to ‘brand exports,’ continuously strengthening technological R&D and innovation accumulate. With differentiated, high-quality sanitaryware solutions, we aim to build truly globally competitive Chinese brands.”
Harvesting Success: SSWW Gains Recognition Through Strength
During the summit’s awards ceremony, SSWW was honored with the “Leading Sanitaryware Enterprise” title. This accolade not only acknowledges SSWW’s profound积淀 in sanitaryware manufacturing and technological R&D but also recognizes its outstanding contributions in recent years to responding to the national “home appliance trade-in” policy, promoting industry intelligence upgrades, and advancing health and inclusivity. This recognition as a leading enterprise reflects the industry’s comprehensive approval of SSWW’s continuous innovation, high-quality growth, and social responsibility.
As the T8 Summit unfolded, SSWW continued to stride forward. The company remains committed to actively responding to the national “home appliance trade-in” policy. Not only has it launched multiple smart products that meet subsidy standards through iterative upgrades of its “water cleansing technology,” but it has also introduced the “Reserve a Happy Home” IP, offering users a one-stop solution from products to scenarios, functionality to emotional fulfillment. This approach truly transforms bathroom spaces into havens for physical and mental rejuvenation and happiness. By collaborating with industry partners, SSWW aims to build a new paradigm for healthy, smart, and warm living environments. In sync with the industry and resonating with the times, SSWW will continue to propel China’s sanitaryware industry forward and upward.
