Central and Western Region: At the end of March and early April, ceramic companies in Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Yunnan and other places issued price adjustment notices, adjusting product prices to varying degrees.

In addition, many companies in Sichuan announced an increase in ceramic tile prices at the end of February and early March. Ceramic tiles in the entire western region have basically undergone a comprehensive adjustment after the year. After the new year, the prices of raw materials such as chemical raw materials, fuels, packaging accessories, etc. will rise sharply, resulting in a sharp increase in production costs, which is the fundamental reason for this round of ceramic tile price increases.
Linyi production area: In mid-March, Linyi interior wall tiles saw a wave of price increases for the first time. It is understood that during this price increase, the price of interior wall tiles increased by 0.1 yuan.

It is understood that the price of the event launched by Yunnan Shangding Decoration is not only favorable, but also includes a luxury gift package, a 14-piece furniture set and a golden egg. As a result, many owners who saw the event promotion signed the "Home Decoration and Decoration Project Construction Contract" with Yunnan Shangding Decoration Design Engineering Co., Ltd., and paid a certain proportion of the project cost in advance according to the contract.
On January 20, after receiving the news that the salesperson’s salary could not be paid, the owners immediately went to Yunnan Shangding Decoration Company to find the boss, only to find that the company had closed. From the end of last year to February this year, the owners reported to the Jinghong Market Supervision and Administration Bureau many times. The result was that "the business has ceased business and its legal representative cannot be contacted, and mediation cannot be carried out. Consumers are advised to follow judicial procedures."
