Why We Are Committed to This Project

In recent years, Japan’s construction industry has faced growing challenges in securing stable and cost-effective sources of building materials—particularly natural stones and tiles.

Historically, over 70% of Japan’s imported stone came from China, but that share has been declining due to:

  • Stricter environmental regulations and quarry shutdowns in China

  • Rising labor costs and RMB fluctuations

  • Export restrictions and logistical delays

(Reference: Japan Ministry of Finance Trade Statistics)

As a result, many Japanese importers are now shifting toward more stable and cost-effective sourcing destinations.

India, the world’s largest exporter of granite and a globally recognized producer of tiles, has emerged as a strong alternative. With abundant natural resources, competitive pricing, and an increasing number of globally compliant manufacturers, India offers excellent conditions for sustainable sourcing.

At ABCD Inc., we have established direct relationships with Indian factories and quarries to ensure:

  • Reliable, long-term supply

  • Inspection and product adaptation to Japanese standards

  • Seamless support from shipping to delivery

Our mission is to diversify the supply chain and reduce sourcing risks for Japanese buyers, while offering overseas suppliers a trusted entry point into the Japanese market.


If you are an overseas supplier or a procurement manager in Japan interested in importing or exporting building materials, feel free to reach out to us.
We offer consultation in both Japanese and English.
