The domestic extraction of marble, granite, sandstone, porphyry, and basalt in Italy is expected to increase steadily from 25.76 million metric tons in 2024 to 27.54 million metric tons by 2028. In 2023, the actual extraction volume was slightly lower, indicating a growing trend in the upcoming years. The year-on-year growth from 2024 onwards shows a consistent upward pattern, highlighting rising demand or expansion in excavation activities, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years that underscores this steady increase.
Future trends to watch include:
- Technological advancements in extraction methods that could improve efficiency and reduce costs.
- Environmental regulations and sustainability practices which could impact production rates.
- Fluctuations in global demand for Italian stone materials, especially in emerging markets.
