Ceramic Tile And Stone Consultants (CTaSC) and Catalina Research announce the release of our 238-page Catalina Report on Natural and Manufactured Stone Products December 2015. This fact-filled report provides up-to-date information on granite, marble, limestone, travertine, slate, sandstone, and other rough and fabricated dimension stone, and manufactured (concrete) and engineered (quartz) stone products. Each page will assist the stone industry executive to exploit growing product lines, improve plant efficiency, strengthen distribution, penetrate end-use markets, and plan for 2016 and beyond. This is the sixth release of this report since the first release in 2003.

This report contains the timely data that allows users to evaluate market size, growth potential, end-use markets, factors driving demand, profitability, market share, and the competitive environment. Use this report to develop strategies to take advantage of the recovery in the builder and residential remodeling markets and the surge in private nonresidential construction; penetrate countertop and flooring markets; and improve operating efficiency.

The 2015 Catalina Report on Natural and Manufactured Stone report is an in-depth industry investigation of the $10.0 billion U.S. natural and manufactured stone product industry. The U.S. stone product market has been recovering since 2011 and the recovery has continued to strengthen during 2015. The recovery is being led by the recovery in new home construction. The residential remodeling market is also benefiting form the increase in existing home sales, the rise in home prices, and improved homeowner finances. The increase in existing home sales stimulates homeowner remodeling projects and the rise in home prices is an incentive for non-movers to invest in their homes and upgrade to stone countertops and flooring. Remodelers are increasing their preference for quartz countertops. As the residential market grows in importance, stone product suppliers have increased their reliance on the home center channel. Currently, the important nonresidential market is strengthening as the U.S. recovery enters its seventh year.

The table of contents shows the significant data and information included in this report. Each section is summarized to clearly point to the pertinent industry trends. You will find it a valuable planning tool.
