The engineered stone market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the last few years, the market size of engineered stone has seen robust growth. It is projected to rise from $27.64 billion in 2024 to $29.35 billion in 2025, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%.
Factors contributing to growth during the historic period include a low-interest rate climate, an increase in single-family constructions, surging demand for energy-efficient materials, significant economic growth in developing markets, and global population growth.
The engineered stone market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• It is anticipated that over the coming years the engineered stone market will experience consistent growth. The market is predicted to reach $35.47 billion in 2029, with a promising compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%.
Factors contributing to this growth over the predicted period include expansion in global population and urban development, an emphasis on infrastructure construction, quickening industrialization, government support for construction initiatives, and an intensified focus on sustainable practices. Key trends expected over the forecast period involve the production and innovation of engineered stone from recycled materials, the use of hybrid print technology to enhance surface aesthetics, development of high-end stone surfaces and fittings, the introduction of engineered stone void of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and plasticizers, and engineered stone that requires minimal installation effort.
The engineered stone market's growth is projected to accelerate due to the flourishing construction industry. Engineered stones are extensively employed in the building of residential projects, which includes their use in kitchen countertops, floors, façade tiles, and other architectural applications. Due to their resistance to bacteria, scratch, and heat, engineered stones make for the perfect option for residential and commercial construction projects. The brisk escalation in the construction of commercial and residential projects will likely enhance the utilization of engineered stones throughout the predicted period. For instance, Eurostat, a Europe-based government agency, reported in February 2024 that the average annual building production in the EU and the euro region experienced a rise of 0.1% and 0.2% respectively compared to 2022. As such, the booming construction industry is the driving force behind the growth of the engineered stone market.
