Engineered Stone Global Market Report 2024

The engineered stone market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $26.24 billion in 2023 to $27.89 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The historical growth can be attributed to a low-interest-rate environment, increased construction of single-family homes, rising demand for energy-efficient materials, robust economic growth in emerging markets, and an overall increase in the global population.

The engineered stone market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $34.28 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. Forecasted growth is driven by global population growth, urbanization, increased infrastructure development, industrialization, government focus on construction, and a growing emphasis on sustainability. Key trends include the manufacturing of engineered stone from recycled materials, the use of hybrid print technology for enhanced aesthetics, a focus on luxurious stone surfaces, the introduction of PVC-free engineered stone, and the development of easy-to-install options.

The engineered stone market is anticipated to experience significant growth, driven by the high expansion in the construction industry. Engineered stones find widespread application in residential projects, contributing to various elements such as kitchen countertops, floors, façade tiles, and other architectural features. Their increasing usage can be attributed to advantageous properties such as resistance to bacteria, scratches, and heat, making them an ideal choice for both residential and commercial construction endeavors. The rapid upsurge in the construction of commercial and residential projects is expected to fuel the demand for engineered stones in the forecast period. Notably, in June 2021, building activities in New Zealand saw a 3.7% increase in March 2021, with a 4.3% rise in residential activities compared to 2020, according to Stats NZ Tatauranga Aotearoa, the country's government data agency. Additionally, the US Census Bureau reported a 10.2% growth rate in the value of construction activities, increasing from $1,626.4 billion in 2021 to $1,792.9 billion in 2022. The thriving construction industry, as evidenced by these statistics, is a key driver propelling the growth of the engineered stone market.

Rapid industrialization is poised to further augment the growth of the engineered stone market. Industrialization, marking the shift from an agriculture-centric economy to one focused on manufacturing goods, plays a pivotal role in transforming urban landscapes. Engineered stones, with their non-porous nature and antimicrobial properties, become a preferred choice for commercial applications where hygiene is crucial, such as restaurants and medical offices. The high strength and hardness of engineered stones also make them popular for commercial spaces such as offices and malls. Industrialization fosters urbanization by generating economic growth and employment opportunities, leading to increased demand for commercial spaces. This trend is exemplified by data from Trading Economics, indicating a year-on-year increase of 3.2% in industrial production in India in October 2021, with subsequent growth in December 2021. Additionally, UK-based real estate consultants, Knight Frank, reported a 25% year-on-year growth in demand for office space in Q1 2022. As industrialization continues, driving investments and supporting various industries, the demand for commercial construction is expected to rise, contributing to the overall growth of the engineered stone market.

Major players in the engineered stone market are strategically emphasizing the production and advancement of engineered stone derived from recycled materials, aligning with their commitment to sustainability and a low-carbon future. As an illustration of this trend, Stone Italiana, an Italy-based engineered stone manufacturer, introduced a new range named Cosmolite in March 2021. This innovative engineered stone is crafted from inert pre-consumer recycled materials, demonstrating the company's dedication to sustainable practices. Cosmolite received certifications such as LEED v4 Green Gold, NSF 51 Food Contact, and the ability to produce low volatile organic compound emissions, highlighting its eco-friendly attributes.
