(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Opportunities in the engineered marble market are driven by expanding construction sectors in urbanizing regions, with demand for durable, cost-effective, aesthetically pleasing materials. Sustainability trends and cost-saving innovations further enhance its appeal as a substitute for natural stone in both residential and commercial applications.Dublin, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Engineered Marble Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.
The Global Engineered Marble Market, valued at USD 2.20 Billion in 2024, is projected to experience a CAGR of 7.02% to reach USD 3.31 Billion by 2030.
Engineered marble is a composite material primarily comprising crushed natural marble chips, dust, and stone aggregates bound with polyester resins and pigments, meticulously manufactured to emulate the aesthetic and enhance the performance characteristics of natural marble. The global market for this product is fundamentally driven by the expanding construction and real estate sectors, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions.
A key driver is the increasing demand for durable, aesthetically pleasing, and low-maintenance building materials across residential and commercial applications, where engineered marble offers versatility and cost-effectiveness compared to natural stone.

Key Market Drivers
The engineered marble market is strongly supported by its cost efficiency when compared to natural marble, positioning it as an economically attractive alternative across a wide range of construction applications. This pricing advantage broadens its adoption in both residential and commercial projects, enabling stakeholders to achieve premium visual appeal without the higher cost burden associated with natural stone. Additionally, engineered marble delivers uniform aesthetics and predictable pricing, allowing developers and contractors to manage budgets more effectively by avoiding the price volatility often linked to natural materials.
Major industry participants continue to focus on operational optimisation to reinforce this value proposition. For instance, Stone Update reported in February 2024, through its feature "Caesarstone: Positioning for 2024", that Caesarstone projected annual cost savings of approximately $20 million in 2024 as a result of factory closures and production outsourcing, highlighting deliberate efforts to streamline manufacturing and strengthen competitive pricing. This disciplined cost control strategy directly supports deeper market penetration and sustained demand growth.
Key Market Challenges
A significant challenge impeding the growth of the Global Engineered Marble Market is the ongoing competition from natural stone alternatives. Natural stone, including varieties like marble and granite, maintains a strong market presence due to its perceived authenticity, unique aesthetic variations, and long-standing reputation for durability. This established preference among consumers and specifiers directly impacts the demand for engineered marble.
Key Market Trends
The Global Engineered Marble Market is significantly driven by the growing adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly production practices, fueled by increasing environmental consciousness. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) "Building Sustainably: Green & Resilient Single-Family Homes 2024 SmartMarket Brief" in April 2024 reported that 34% of home builders classified over half of their projects as green in 2023, signifying a broad demand for sustainable materials.
This trend prompts engineered marble producers to innovate. Illustratively, Cosentino Group secured a nearly $95 million European Commission Innovation Fund grant in December 2024 to establish a Circular Technology Quarry, processing over 100,000 tons of industrial sludge annually into recycled raw materials, a key investment in circular economy principles.
