The European export of granite and other stone saw Portugal leading with 423.62 million kg, followed by Spain and Sweden. There was substantial growth in Portugal (4.87%) while Germany (-36.23%) and Italy (-14.75%) experienced significant declines. Ireland showed notable growth (38.1%). Luxembourg, despite its smaller volume, had a notable increase of 225.08%. Several countries experienced negative growth, indicating a varied performance across the continent.
Future trends to watch include a potential recovery in Germany and Italy if they address current challenges, continued growth in Ireland, and whether Luxembourg can maintain its massive growth spike. The impact of sustainability trends on quarrying and export practices may also influence future volumes. Economic and geopolitical conditions will play a crucial role in shaping the export landscape. Additionally, increased demand for sustainable and eco-friendly building materials could present opportunities for innovative products and markets. Monitoring these factors can provide insights into future shifts in European stone exports.
