Quartz stone sink market share continues to rise, new composite materials reshape high-end kitchen and bathroom landscape

According to the industry material segmentation data for the first half of 2026, the market share of quartz stone sinks has exceeded 24%, an increase of nearly 10 percentage points compared to 2024. It has a market share of over 58% in the high-end sink category above 1500 yuan, gradually diverting the market share of traditional 304 stainless steel high-end models and becoming the preferred material for improved home decor and light luxury decoration. The quartz stone sink is made by pressing high-purity quartz sand with environmentally friendly resin, which has four core advantages of scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, oil resistance, and rich color. It can match the integrated design needs of rock board cabinets and minimalist customized cabinets, and is currently the main recommended accessory for home decoration designers.
Compared with mainstream stainless steel stretching sinks, quartz stone products have outstanding visual texture advantages. The matte texture and multi-color selection can achieve seamless color matching between the countertop and sink, solving the limitation of stainless steel metal tone style; In terms of physical performance, the high-temperature hot pot will not leave any burn marks when placed directly, and there will be no scratches on hard objects when rubbed. Oil stains can be wiped clean with clean water, greatly reducing daily maintenance costs. The production capacity of the manufacturing end is expanding synchronously. In the past, the quartz stone sink production line was concentrated in a few top production areas. Now, nearly a hundred new pressing production lines have been added nationwide, and large-scale production has effectively reduced the cost of raw material processing. The terminal selling price has been declining year by year, and the entry-level quartz stone sink in the thousand yuan price range has been launched in batches, breaking the price barrier of high-end materials and reaching more mid-range consumer groups.
The demand in overseas markets is growing synchronously. Several European countries have introduced new regulations on building materials and environmental protection, restricting the production of high pollution electroplating processes for stainless steel. Quartz stone water tanks with low-energy compression processes have gained market favor. In the first quarter of 2026, the value of quartz stone water tanks exported to the European Union increased by 22.8% year-on-year. The existing challenges in the industry focus on lightweight and anti cracking processes. Traditional thick quartz stones have a huge weight and high transportation and installation costs, while thin modified products have the risk of temperature difference cracking; The current research and development institution is adjusting the quartz sand ratio and introducing new tough resins to reduce product weight and optimize the thermal shrinkage coefficient while ensuring wear resistance. Industry analysts predict that the compound annual growth rate of quartz stone water tanks will remain above 18% in the next five years, gradually forming a market dominated by stainless steel and quartz stone dual materials, while the market share of niche materials such as ceramics and cast iron will continue to shrink.
