The import of crude or roughly trimmed marble and travertine to the US is projected to increase at a consistent pace from 2024 through 2028. The volume in 2023 stood at approximately 5.4 million kilograms, and the forecasted figures show a yearly increase, reflecting a growth trend. The year-on-year variations are projected to be modest, yet the cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period suggests a steady increment in import volume.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of global trade policies on import levels.
- Technological advancements in the quarrying process could affect production and cost.
- Demand shifts due to evolving design trends in the construction industry.
- Environmental regulations influencing quarrying practices and sourcing of marble and travertine.
