Engineered Stone Market Report 2026

The engineered stone market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $28.98 billion in 2025 to $30.32 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of residential construction activities, rising demand for modern kitchen and bathroom interiors, availability of engineered stone manufacturing technologies, growth in home renovation projects, increasing preference for uniform stone aesthetics.

The engineered stone market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $35.75 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for premium interior materials, rising investments in automated stone fabrication, expansion of commercial construction projects, growing focus on sustainable building materials, increasing adoption of engineered stone in global markets. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for quartz-based engineered stone surfaces, rising adoption of automated slab manufacturing lines, growing preference for low-porosity countertop materials, expansion of customizable design offerings, enhanced focus on product durability and consistency.

The high growth in the construction industry is indeed expected to propel the growth of the engineered stone market. Engineered stones are increasingly favored for a variety of applications in both residential and commercial construction, including kitchen countertops, floors, and façade tiles. Their desirable properties - such as being bacteria-resistant, scratch-resistant, and heat-resistant - make them a preferred choice for modern building projects. The surge in construction activities, particularly in the residential sector, is likely to boost the demand for engineered stones. For example, in February 2024, Eurostat reported that average annual building production in the EU and the euro area saw modest increases of 0.1% and 0.2% respectively compared to 2022. This trend reflects ongoing investment in construction and infrastructure, which will likely enhance the usage of engineered stones throughout the forecast period. Thus, the thriving construction industry is a significant driver for the engineered stone market's growth.

Major companies in the engineered stone market are increasingly embracing innovative materials like sintered stone to meet consumer demand for high-quality surfaces that blend aesthetic appeal, durability, and sustainability. Sintered engineered stone is notable for its unique manufacturing process, where natural raw materials such as quartz, clay, and feldspar are subjected to high temperatures and pressure, resulting in a strong and resilient material. For example, Smartstone Company's launch of its Sintered Collection in January 2024 highlights this trend. This range, made from all-natural materials, not only aligns with new federal regulations following the ban on certain engineered stones but also emphasizes high performance and aesthetic versatility. The collection features 24 stone-inspired surfaces with various finishes and edge profiles, catering to both indoor and outdoor applications. By focusing on sintered stone, companies can offer products that not only look great but also meet sustainability goals and regulatory standards, positioning themselves well in a competitive market where consumers are increasingly aware of both design and environmental impact. This strategic move supports a broader trend towards more responsible and innovative material choices in the construction and design industries.

In August 2024, Saint‑Gobain, a France-based construction materials manufacturer, acquired CSR Limited for an enterprise value of approximately A$4.5 billion (about $2.95 billion). Through this acquisition, Saint‑Gobain aimed to strengthen its position in the Asia‑Pacific construction materials market and expand its portfolio in engineered surfaces and related building products, including engineered stone solutions, by leveraging CSR’s established brands, manufacturing network, and regional customer base. CSR Limited is an Australia-based building products manufacturer specializing in engineered surfaces, construction materials, and building solutions for residential and commercial applications across Australia and New Zealand.
