The construction sand and gravel operations in the Southern United States, reporting between 200,000 to 299,999 metric tons per year, are projected to experience a year-on-year decrease in volume from 2024 to 2028. The forecast indicates a decline from 21.74 million metric tons in 2024 to 20.98 million metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year variation over the last two years suggests a gradual reduction. Notably, the compound annual growth rate over this period also shows a consistent downward trend.
Looking forward, several trends warrant attention. The sustainable sourcing and eco-friendly practices in material supply chains are expected to become more significant. Additionally, fluctuations in construction activity influenced by economic conditions and infrastructure investments will be crucial for market dynamics.
