The 2026 Xiamen Stone Fair was a highly effective platform for the waterjet cutting machine industry, resulting in significant brand exposure, increased attention to high-end models, a surge in orders and channel sales, a solidified technology roadmap, and a noticeable return of international customers. It was the most important platform of the year for customer acquisition and brand positioning.
I. Booth and Exposure (Bareland Machinery Hall)
Booth Location: Concentrated in Halls B5/B6/B8, alongside bridge cutting, wire sawing, and edge grinding machines, attracting a high concentration of professional visitors.
Exhibitor Scale: 30+ waterjet cutting machine exhibitors (including integrated machines)
Visitor Traffic: Average daily visitor count of 35,000+ professional visitors to the Machinery Hall, with 25%-30% specifically interested in waterjet/irregular cutting equipment. Overseas visitors accounted for approximately 18% (mainly from India, South Korea, Russia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia).
II. Product and Technological Achievements (Biggest Highlight: All-in-One Machine)
5-Axis Waterjet + Bridge Cutting All-in-One Machine Takes Center Stage
Mainstream Model: Combines saw blade straight cutting + waterjet irregular shaping + 5-axis chamfering + central basin cutting + edge grinding; capable of cutting stone, slab, glass, and metal.
Core Advantages: Saves space (1 machine equals 2), saves labor (one-time clamping), increases efficiency by 30%-50%, and reduces waste to within 5%.
Market Response: 90% of potential customers prioritize inquiring about the all-in-one machine, clearly demonstrating its trend of replacing traditional single-function waterjet cutters.
Intelligent Upgrade Fully Implemented
Standard Configuration: AI layout, automatic loading and unloading, remote diagnostics, data interconnection; some models are equipped with visual positioning + robot part picking.
Results: Waste rate reduced from 15%-20% to within 5%, labor reduction by 40%-60%.
Breakthroughs in High Pressure and Precision
Pressure: Mainstream 420MPa, high-end 600MPa; cutting speed increased by 20%-30%.
Precision: ±0.02mm, suitable for high-end applications such as luxury stone inlay, artistic mosaics, and ultra-thin (4mm) translucent stone.
Green and Energy-Saving Features Become Standard
Wastewater recycling, low noise, low abrasive consumption; power saving of 20%-30%, suitable for stringent environmental standards and export certifications.
III. Orders and Commercial Results (Real Conversion)
Overall year-on-year growth +25%-35%.
Transaction Structure:
All-in-one machines: 60%-70%
Single-function waterjet cutters: 20%-30%
Accessories/Modifications: 10%, high gross profit, strong repurchase rate.
International Order Return: Overseas intentions increased by 40% year-on-year, mainly from Russia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East; increased inquiries from high-end European markets (Italy, Turkey). Channel Expansion: An average of 3-5 new distributors/agents/exhibitors were added.
IV. Industry Landscape and Trend Impact
Technology Roadmap Consolidation: Five-axis integrated machines + intelligence + green technology have become industry consensus, leading to accelerated adoption by small and medium-sized manufacturers and intensified homogeneous competition.
Increased Concentration: Leading companies differentiate themselves through technology, channels, and services.
Expanded Application Boundaries: Applications have expanded from stone to slabs, glass, metal, and composite materials, penetrating multiple scenarios including kitchens, bathrooms, home decoration, engineering, and art.
V. Comprehensive Assessment
The 2026 Xiamen Stone Fair was a watershed moment for the waterjet industry: integrated machines became widespread, intelligent and green technologies became standard, international market demand returned, and orders and channels flourished; simultaneously, price wars, core components, and after-sales capabilities presented new challenges. Overall results significantly exceeded expectations, with both quality and efficiency improving, setting the tone for industry growth in 2026-2027.
