Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The construction materials industry has been a major player in China' s overall
manufacturing sector. In 2005, China' s construction materials industry
accounted for 6.8% and 4.1% respectively of total enterprises number and
national output. Rapid economic development in China has led to a
corresponding increase in construction materials consumption. Leading
international players that have formed joint ventures in China include
Lafarge, Taiheiyo Cement, Pilkington, Saint-Gobain, AGC, Kohler, American
Standard, Toto, Owens Corning, Sarnafil, Sekisui, and others. China is now one
of the world' s largest construction materials producers with annual output of
cement, flat glass, building ceramic and ceramic sanitaryware ranking first in
the world. China will continue to be an important player in the global
construction materials marketplace.
