Engineered Stone Global Market Report 2025

Engineered stone refers to a composite slab composed of 90% crushed quartz bound together with a polymer resin, with the remaining 10% incorporating additional materials such as metals, mirrors, or colored glass for aesthetic appeal. Widely employed in applications where traditional slab stones such as marble or granite are used, engineered stone is particularly popular for kitchen and bathroom countertops.

The primary types of engineered stone products include tiles, blocks, and slabs. These products find versatile applications in various furnishing contexts, including kitchen worktops, flooring, raised flooring, internal and external cladding, vanity tops, and bathroom furnishings for both residential and large-scale commercial projects. Engineered stone is produced through cold-curing and hot-curing processes, and its applications span kitchen and bathroom countertops, flooring, facades, walls, and more.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the mining sector, especially in areas such as equipment acquisition, export flows, and supply chain stability. Increased tariffs on imported heavy machinery, drilling tools, and specialized parts have driven up both capital and operational expenditures, leading to delays in project development and reduced production efficiency. Simultaneously, retaliatory tariffs from major trading partners have diminished global demand for U.S. sourced minerals particularly critical resources like lithium, copper, and rare earth elements intensifying revenue challenges. These impacts are hitting mid-sized and niche mining companies the hardest due to their reliance on international markets. In response, the industry is focusing on building domestic equipment supply chains, scaling up mineral recycling programs, and lobbying for tariff relief to regain competitiveness and safeguard long-term resource availability.

The engineered stone market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $27.64 billion in 2024 to $28.98 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to a low-interest rate environment, rising single-family constructions, growing demand for energy-efficient materials, strong economic growth in emerging markets, and growth in the world population.

The engineered stone market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $34.44 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global population growth and urbanization, increasing infrastructure development, rapid industrialization, government focus towards construction, and increasing focus towards sustainability. Major trends in the forecast period include manufacturing and development of engineered stone from recycled materials, leveraging hybrid print technology to advance surface aesthetics, focusing on the development of luxurious stone surfaces and accessories, introducing engineered stone that is free of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and plasticizers and introducing engineered stone which is easy to install.

The forecast of 4.4% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Rising tariffs on engineered stone slabs and resins can increase costs for kitchen countertops and decorative surfacing in construction. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The high growth in the construction industry is indeed expected to propel the growth of the engineered stone market. Engineered stones are increasingly favored for a variety of applications in both residential and commercial construction, including kitchen countertops, floors, and facade tiles. Their desirable properties-such as being bacteria-resistant, scratch-resistant, and heat-resistant-make them a preferred choice for modern building projects. The surge in construction activities, particularly in the residential sector, is likely to boost the demand for engineered stones. For example, in February 2024, Eurostat reported that average annual building production in the EU and the euro area saw modest increases of 0.1% and 0.2% respectively compared to 2022. This trend reflects ongoing investment in construction and infrastructure, which will likely enhance the usage of engineered stones throughout the forecast period. Thus, the thriving construction industry is a significant driver for the engineered stone market's growth.

Rapid industrialization is indeed expected to significantly boost the growth of the engineered stone market. As economies transition from agriculture-based to manufacturing-focused, the demand for durable and versatile materials like engineered stone rises, particularly in commercial applications. Engineered stones, known for their non-porous nature and antifungal and antibacterial properties, are ideal for environments requiring high hygiene standards, such as restaurants and medical facilities. Their high strength and hardness also make them suitable for various commercial applications, including office spaces and shopping malls. The process of industrialization often leads to urbanization, creating economic growth and job opportunities that drive the demand for commercial and residential spaces. Increased investments in infrastructure and construction projects further fuel this demand. For instance, in December 2023, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reported that manufacturing contributed $2.3 trillion to the U.S. GDP in 2022, which accounted for 11.4% of the total GDP. Additionally, the substantial price increases for manufactured goods underscore the robust growth in this sector.

Major companies in the engineered stone market are indeed prioritizing sustainable manufacturing practices and innovative designs to meet consumer demands for aesthetically pleasing and high-performance surfaces. This focus not only enhances the functionality of residential and commercial spaces but also aligns with increasing consumer preferences for eco-friendly products. For example, Corian's launch of its 2024 aesthetics for Corian(R) Quartz showcases how companies are integrating nature-inspired designs to create versatile applications across various environments. The introduction of collections like the Quartzite Collection and Iconic Stone Collection emphasizes unique veining patterns and colors, allowing designers and homeowners to achieve sophisticated looks that blend beauty with durability. Such initiatives not only cater to aesthetic desires but also promote sustainable practices, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers. By offering diverse design applications, companies can effectively tap into a broader market, providing creative and functional interior solutions that enhance the overall appeal of both residential and commercial spaces. This approach positions them competitively in a rapidly evolving market.

Major companies in the engineered stone market are increasingly embracing innovative materials like sintered stone to meet consumer demand for high-quality surfaces that blend aesthetic appeal, durability, and sustainability. Sintered engineered stone is notable for its unique manufacturing process, where natural raw materials such as quartz, clay, and feldspar are subjected to high temperatures and pressure, resulting in a strong and resilient material. For example, Smartstone Company's launch of its Sintered Collection in January 2024 highlights this trend. This range, made from all-natural materials, not only aligns with new federal regulations following the ban on certain engineered stones but also emphasizes high performance and aesthetic versatility. The collection features 24 stone-inspired surfaces with various finishes and edge profiles, catering to both indoor and outdoor applications. By focusing on sintered stone, companies can offer products that not only look great but also meet sustainability goals and regulatory standards, positioning themselves well in a competitive market where consumers are increasingly aware of both design and environmental impact. This strategic move supports a broader trend towards more responsible and innovative material choices in the construction and design industries.
