Engineered Stone Industry Overview
The global engineered stone market size is expected to reach USD 31.53 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing product adoption as an environmentally sustainable and aesthetically pleasing low-cost alternative to natural stones like marble and granite is augmenting the market growth. The market is struggling due to the underperformance of the construction sector as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, factors such as low awareness and high capital costs of products, are inhibiting market growth in emerging economies.
The market is witnessing huge potential on account of continuous R&D activities by the major companies. Engineered stones are anticipated to gain popularity owing to their superior properties coupled with their diversified applications in the residential and commercial sectors, such as kitchen countertops, vanity tops, flooring, and bathroom furnishings. Companies are working effectively to raise their manufacturing capacities to meet the growing demand for engineered stone slabs. In addition, to acquire a leading position, key players are focusing on providing a wide range of customization options, in terms of color, texture, design pattern, size, and shape.
