According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Dark Stone Market," The dark stone market was valued at $3.7 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $5.8 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2023 to 2032.
Natural dark stone is a mountain-acquired mineral, which includes quartzite, slate, limestone, sandstone, marble, granite, and others. It majorly finds its application in residential and commercial flooring and wall cladding, owing to its durability, hardness, and aesthetic appearance. It finds applications in furniture, statuary, and monuments.
An expansion of the building industry, owing to a rise in investment in the housing sector, and increased construction spending across various countries such as the U.S., Japan, India, and others, which fuels the growth of the global dark stone market. In addition, the rise in urbanization, and population growth, which is expected to rise in demand for dark stones for flooring, and wall cladding applications, boost the growth of the global market. Benefits associated with dark stones such as long durability, aesthetic presence, and reliability, in turn, boost the adoption of slate, and limestone in commercial and residential buildings, which drives the growth of the global dark stone market.
The increase in disposable income of individuals and the surge in awareness of attractive outdoor designs have shifted the inclination toward home remodeling among residential end users, especially in urban areas.
Stones such as marble and granite used for flooring in patios, porches, backyards, and pavements enhance the visual appeal of residential buildings, thereby fueling their adoption. Moreover, an increase in the number of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects in the infrastructure sector coupled with real estate and various urban infrastructure projects is expected to increase the demand for dark stones at a global scale. Thus, the market is majorly driven by infrastructure construction activities, which include building roads, bridges, airports, power plants, and notably highway & road projects. Furthermore, an increase in industrialization and a rise in the need for residential & commercial infrastructure setup are expected to boost the global market.
In emerging economies, the increase in popularity of outdoor entertainment areas has created the need for dark stones for wall cladding, which has positively influenced the market. In addition, the demand for construction materials such as marble is on the rise at a significant pace, owing to an increase in its adoption for the construction of memorials and furniture. However, fluctuations in climate in recent years due to global warming and exploitation of resources have resulted in the implementation of stringent policies toward the utilization of natural resources and reduced emissions globally. Thus, government initiatives toward the reduction of stone mining restrict global market growth.
Growth in response to the rise in consumer demand for home renovation and replacement is one of the major factors boosting the global dark stone market growth. For instance, according to Harvard Joint Centre for Housing Studies article published in January 2021, the growth of house remodeling and repair expenditures is expected to increase from 3.5% at the end of 2020 to 3.8% by the year-end of 2021, based on the most recent Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA). Similarly, officials at the National Association of Home Builders' IBSx virtual event in February 2021 predicted that remodeling expenditure on owner-occupied single-family homes is expected to witness a rise by 4% in 2021, then another 2% in 2022. Remodeling and renovation across the globe are factors that provide lucrative growth in the dark stone industry throughout the forecast period.
However, fluctuations in raw material prices and an increase in the adoption of artificial stone are projected to hinder the growth of the global market in the coming years. Furthermore, an increase in new construction activities, especially in emerging economies is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the global dark stone market during the forecast period.
