Recent trends in the raw materials market unveil a growing dependence of the European ceramic tile industry on imports from sources outside the European Union. This tendency reflects significant changes in the typologies of ceramic products, which in turn result in a modified batch design and different raw materials. Such an evolution implies an increasing stress on the supply chain, which role is strategic in terms of resource efficiency and competitiveness of the ceramic industry. Despite the importance of a secure and affordable supply, a global knowledge of raw materials flows over the last years is still lacking. In this paper, the supply chain was examined by quantifying the apparent consumption of raw materials and current trends, and detecting possible criticalities. While the supply chain in Italy kept stable, the raw material flows in the Spanish industry changed noticeably due to the increase in white-firing bodies production, that implies a growing dependence on imports. Beyond the specific features of each country, the resulting supply patterns are turning similar over time, with an increasing competition for the same sources. Efforts to strengthen the supply chain reside on the diversification of raw materials sources, which entails the use of secondary raw materials, the search for new deposits and purification processes, and improvement of logistics. The choice of raw materials (and consequently the supply chain) is driven in a complex way by various factors, which are identified and discussed for the different product typologies..

瓷砖行业的资源效率与市场趋势:对意大利和西班牙供应链的影响

原材料市场的最新趋势表明,欧洲瓷砖行业越来越依赖于欧盟以外来源的进口产品。这种趋势反映了陶瓷产品类型的重大变化,进而导致修改的批次设计和不同的原材料。这种演变意味着对供应链的压力越来越大,从陶瓷行业的资源效率和竞争力的角度来看,这种作用具有战略意义。尽管确保安全和负担得起的供应非常重要,但过去几年仍缺乏对原材料流动的全球了解。在本文中,通过量化原材料的表观消耗量和当前趋势并检测可能的临界点来检查供应链。在意大利的供应链保持稳定的同时,由于白坯生产的增加,西班牙工业中的原材料流动发生了显着变化,这意味着对进口的依赖日益增加。除了每个国家的特定特征外,随着时间的推移,由此产生的供应模式也变得相似,对相同货源的竞争也在加剧。加强供应链的努力在于原材料来源的多样化,这包括使用次要原材料,寻找新的沉积物和提纯工艺以及改善物流。原材料(进而是供应链)的选择是由多种因素以复杂的方式驱动的,这些因素针对不同的产品类型进行了识别和讨论。这意味着对进口的依赖日益增加。除了每个国家的特定特征外,随着时间的推移,由此产生的供应模式也变得相似,对相同货源的竞争也在加剧。加强供应链的努力在于原材料来源的多样化,这包括使用次要原材料,寻找新的沉积物和提纯工艺以及改善物流。原材料(进而是供应链)的选择是由多种因素以复杂的方式驱动的,这些因素针对不同的产品类型进行了识别和讨论。这意味着对进口的依赖日益增加。除了每个国家的特定特征外,随着时间的推移,由此产生的供应模式也变得相似,对相同货源的竞争也在加剧。加强供应链的努力在于原材料来源的多样化,这包括使用次要原材料,寻找新的沉积物和提纯工艺以及改善物流。原材料(进而是供应链)的选择是由多种因素以复杂的方式驱动的,这些因素针对不同的产品类型进行了识别和讨论。加强供应链的努力在于原材料来源的多样化,这包括使用次要原材料,寻找新的沉积物和提纯工艺以及改善物流。原材料(进而是供应链)的选择是由多种因素以复杂的方式驱动的,这些因素针对不同的产品类型进行了识别和讨论。加强供应链的努力在于原材料来源的多样化,这包括使用次要原材料,寻找新的沉积物和提纯工艺以及改善物流。原材料(进而是供应链)的选择是由多种因素以复杂的方式驱动的,这些因素针对不同的产品类型进行了识别和讨论。
