On August 8, 2025, in Zaozhuang, Shandong, at the 6th National Conference on Quartz Sand Supply and Demand for Panel Materials, Mr. Tian of Golandi stated in his keynote speech “New Trends and Countermeasures in the Development of China’s Quartz Stone Industry” that once consumers realize the close connection between kitchen countertops and food safety, the rules of the industry will be completely rewritten. His remark struck a strong chord with the audience.
“Safety standards are shifting from a ‘latent demand’ to a ‘core necessity.’”
Alternative phrasings depending on tone:
Business/strategy style: “Safety standards are evolving from an implicit requirement to a fundamental necessity.”
Media-friendly: “Safety standards are moving from a hidden demand to a core demand.”
Industry-focused: “What was once a silent expectation is now a non-negotiable requirement: safety standards.”
Do you want me to align this phrasing with the earlier translation so it reads like part of the same speech/report?
The conference emphasized that the high-quality development of the engineered stone industry must be built on the foundations of safety and health, echoing Mr. Tian’s revelation of the “consumer blind spot.” Once the potential hygiene risks of kitchen countertops that come into daily contact with food are widely recognized, safety performance will replace patterns and price as the market’s primary selection criterion.
