Natural stones are a range of products which are mined from the earth and are used as construction and decorative materials, and in furniture and statuary & monuments. These products include marble, granite, limestone, travertine, sandstone, quartzite, and other products. Natural stones are the most consistent source of beauty and durability. They differ in color, composition, and texture even though the pieces are from the same source.
In terms of revenue, the global natural stone market was valued at US$ 80.5 Bn and in terms of volume, it was 275.9 Mn Tons in the year 2018. The market is expected to grow with a significant CAGR of 3.70% during the forecast period. The main factors which are accentuating the growth of the natural stone market are, increasing building renovation and remodeling activities and increasing demand for a natural stone from the paper & pulp industry. There are many practical benefits of using natural stones for building & construction. These stones create a sense of tranquility and distinctive beauty to the construction. Natural stone products are more durable than any other artificial products and they last for many decades with very little maintenance. As developed countries such as the US continue to recover from the recession, the developing countries are witnessing increased disposable income of the population. These factors are driving the growth of home improvement activities and will continue to do so for the next couple of years. However, concerns regarding radiations and the reaction of natural stones with acid rain might hinder the growth of the natural stone market during the forecast period. The adoption of some natural stones such as granite and limestone is increasing in household construction in recent years. Most of the natural stones are the natural sources of radiation. According to the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), some granite may carry naturally occurring radioactive elements, such as uranium, radium, and thorium. These elements are solid but after a certain period, they may deteriorate into radon, which is an odorless and colorless radioactive gas.
