In recent years, with the continuous heating up of the residential industry, the vigorous development of the construction and decoration industry, as well as the continuous growth of foreign demand for Chinese stone, in this context provides a broader space for the development of the stone industry. However, at present, the development of China's stone circulation industry is far behind the development of stone production and processing industry, and can no longer better meet social needs.

Taking Chengdu as an example, the circulation of stone mainly relies on the wholesale market of building materials of the early stall system, and stone is only a plate in the building materials market, which is also the main channel of stone circulation. There are dozens of large and small stall building materials markets in Chengdu, but there is no real large-scale, high-grade stone professional processing park.

So far, the operation of stone enterprises in the building materials wholesale market has played an important role in active circulation, meeting urban and rural consumer needs (mainly materials for engineering projects), meeting the stone needs of economically underdeveloped areas around Chengdu, and promoting local economic development.

However, with the rapid development of the stone industry in recent years and the multi-level demand of stone consumption, the shortcomings and contradictions of the stone circulation format in the stall building materials market are becoming more and more prominent, and it has been unable to adapt to today's ever-changing economic environment. This form of the market is the product of the primary stage of the stone logistics industry during the transition from the planned economy to the market economy, with the continuous improvement and strengthening of the market economy will eventually exit the historical stage, in order to adapt to the increasingly fierce market competition environment in all walks of life after joining the WTO, and better meet the social demand for stone, we began to explore the upgrading of the stone logistics format.

Analysis of the current situation of Chengdu building materials (stone) market: The wholesale market of building materials with Chinese characteristics occupies a pivotal position in the development of the domestic building materials industry. In the early 90s of the last century, the wholesale market of building materials with Chinese characteristics began to rise, and by the mid-90s, the main channel for the circulation of building materials has been formed. About 70 per cent of the circulation of construction and decoration materials is achieved through these markets. However, with the rise and development of building materials supermarkets, various franchise stores and foreign stores, the wholesale market of building materials has entered a new round of development stage of transformation, upgrading and innovation. After experiencing a period of sluggishness, the stall building materials market is through self-transformation and upgrading, in order to seek a favorable position in the fierce market competition.
