Crushed Stone Market
The principal product sold by the U.S. Stone Mining industry is crushed stone. According to the US Geological Survey, the production of crushed stone is expected to amount for an estimated 98% of the value of domestic stone production.
Crushed stone is estimated to account for about 59% of the volume of construction aggregates consumed in the U.S. The remaining is generated by construction sand and gravel producers (36%), recycled materials (1 %), imports (1 %), and other (2%).
Over the five years through 2023, industry revenue grew at anannualized rate of about 9.0%. Infrastructure construction, as well as residential and commercial construction, experienced strong growth in the five years through 2023, boosting demand for crushed stone products.
Total industry revenue climbed from $16.1 billion in 2018 to $23.4 billion in 2023. In 2024 it is estimated that revenue will rise to $24. 7 billion.
From 2025 through to 2029, Burgex forecasts industry revenue to sustain an upward trend and continue to climb at a robust annualized rate of 5.2% to approximately $35.8 billion.
