The United Kingdom leads the European sandstone export market, accounting for nearly 40% of the total exports in 2023, followed closely by Spain and Italy. However, Italy saw a significant reduction to zero, shifting dynamics among smaller players. Germany and Greece experience slight declines, while Belgium and Portugal show notable growth in their export shares. Sweden has a remarkable increase, although from a low base, mirroring Luxembourg's astonishing growth.
Future trends to watch include:
- Impact of geological and environmental policies on sandstone supply and exports.
- Growth in smaller markets with stable or increasing export capacity like Sweden and Luxembourg.
- Potential re-entry of previously significant exporters like Italy and Ireland.
