The import of pebbles, gravel, broken and crushed stone for aggregate to the US shows a consistent upward trend from 2024 to 2028, with volumes forecasted to increase from 23.997 billion kilograms in 2024 to 26.397 billion kilograms by 2028. Compared to the estimated 2023 import volume, this indicates a steady growth pattern. Analyzing year-on-year variations, we observe growth rates of approximately 2.57% from 2024 to 2025, 2.46% from 2025 to 2026, 2.35% from 2026 to 2027, and 2.26% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate over these five years is approximately 2.41%.
Looking forward, key trends to watch include changes in construction demand driven by infrastructure investments or a slowdown in economic activity. Additionally, sustainability concerns and efforts to reduce carbon footprints could impact material use, potentially affecting the aggregate supply chain. Monitoring regulatory changes and technological advances in construction methods might also reveal shifts in stone and aggregate consumption patterns.
