Stone Quarrying in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Stacking stones: Rebounding industry demand is expected to cause industry revenue to rise in 2023-24

Construction companies and construction product manufacturing companies are the industry's largest markets, determining levels of demand. Weak UK construction activity, particularly after the COVID-19 outbreak, casts a shadow over industry product demand. Major infrastructure projects, road improvements and government initiatives to stimulate the housing market have supported industry performance.

Firms in this industry mine ornamental building stone such as granite, limestone and sandstone, in addition to gypsum, anhydrite, chalk, uncalcined dolomite and slate. Operators break, crush, roughly trim and saw each type of stone. The industry excludes chemical and fertiliser mineral mining, the production of calcined dolomite and the finishing of stone outside quarry sites.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
