The UK is projected to see a steady decline in the import volume of crude or roughly trimmed marble and travertine from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 2.1154 million kilograms in 2024, import volumes decrease annually, reaching 1.478 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a clear downward trend, highlighting a shift in the market dynamics compared to 2023.

Year-on-year analysis shows a noticeable reduction, with the most significant drops occurring in 2025 and 2026. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests an overall decline at a steady pace over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in UK construction demand impacting marble and travertine requirements.
Environmental policies affecting natural stone sourcing internationally.
Technological innovations in construction reducing dependency on imported materials.
