Ceramics International Trading Center
Overview
Ceramics International Trading Center, also known as Cihai Ceramics Market, is located in Nanzhuang, a 20-minute drive from the main Chancheng area.
It primarily serves as a supplier hub for ceramic tiles, with a focus on the brand headquarters of these suppliers. The products include tiles and porcelain. Some of the supplier showrooms are housed in entire buildings, which are quite grand. The showrooms themselves are also very spacious.
The market covers a large area, with an official recorded total construction area of over 300,000 square meters and approximately 400 suppliers. Walking around, it’s indeed vast. Such a large market, akin to an industrial park, is best navigated by car as it would be quite slow on foot.
The market mainly consists of brand display areas and commercial trading zones, but also includes large storage centers, large logistics centers, and comprehensive service areas. There is also a hotel under the Cihai name. Staying at this hotel is a good choice if one is visiting the market.
Perhaps due to its relatively remote location away from the city center, some smaller shops here are closed, and even some of the large showrooms are shut. Overall, it feels like about 20% of the suppliers are closed, and the market lacks some popularity.
It might be more suitable for brand-name suppliers who attract customers specifically looking for their brands. If suppliers with less strong brands set up showrooms here, they might see less foot traffic.

Price & Quality
Here, it is primarily brand suppliers, so their products tend to be more mid-to-high-end. Correspondingly, the prices are also in this range. If you are looking for brand suppliers, this place is relatively suitable. However, if you are more interested in purchasing tiles with a higher cost-performance ratio, it is recommended that you visit the ceramic markets in the city center, like casa ceramic market, Shiwan Shagang ceramic market, where there are more options and better pricing.
