Findings Show Stone Sector Grew Significantly in the Last Decade
San Diego, CA (April 1, 2006) – Ceramic Tile and Stone Consultants, LLC (CTaSC) and Catalina Research Inc. have announced the release of their most recent collaborative effort, the U.S. Stone Product Report 2006. This 214-page study is a compelling examination of the current U.S. stone market that tackles a wide range of subjects from quarrying to fabrication to end-user data.
Statistics have revealed that over the past decade the $6.8 billion U.S. stone product industry has grown significantly. The factors affecting demand include a decline in average stone product prices, the result of improved quarrying and fabrication techniques as well as an increase in the availability of lower-cost imported stone. Sales of stone used in residential applications have also benefited by record new single-family home construction and remodeling markets, supporting the notion that homeowners want more durable, high quality and prestigious building components, and that they are willing to pay for them.
