Engineered Stone Market: Flooring Application Segment Is Anticipated To Grow At A Significant CAGR Over The Forecast Period
Engineered Stone Industry Overview
The global engineered stone market size is expected to reach USD 31.53 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing product adoption as an environmentally sustainable and aesthetically pleasing low-cost alternative to natural stones like marble and granite is augmenting the market growth. The market is struggling due to the underperformance of the construction sector as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, factors such as low awareness and high capital costs of products, are inhibiting market growth in emerging economies.
The market is witnessing huge potential on account of continuous R&D activities by the major companies. Engineered stones are anticipated to gain popularity owing to their superior properties coupled with their diversified applications in the residential and commercial sectors, such as kitchen countertops, vanity tops, flooring, and bathroom furnishings. Companies are working effectively to raise their manufacturing capacities to meet the growing demand for engineered stone slabs. In addition, to acquire a leading position, key players are focusing on providing a wide range of customization options, in terms of color, texture, design pattern, size, and shape.
Engineered Stone Market Segmentation
Grand View Research has segmented the global engineered stone market on the basis of product, manufacturing process, application, and region:
Based on the Product Insights, the market is segmented into Tiles, and Blocks & Slabs.
- The blocks & slabs segment led the market and accounted for more than 98% share of the global revenue in 2020. The growth can be attributed to its easy-to-install and easy-to-maintain properties. Unlike natural stone, it is significantly less prone to stains caused by typical food substances, such as oil, wine, and juices, which makes it suitable for kitchen application.
- The tile product segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% over the forecast period due to the high demand on account of ease of installation and long-term durability. However, the availability of less expensive alternatives, such as ceramic tiles, is expected to impede the segment growth over the forecast period.
Based on the Application Insights, the market is segmented into Countertops, Flooring, and Others.
- The countertops segment led the market and accounted for more than 78% of the global revenue share in 2020. The growth can be credited to the high product demand owing to its stain-resistant properties. Moreover, engineered stone slabs are comparatively less expensive than their natural alternative and offer greater choice in terms of shape, design, color, and texture.
- The flooring application segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. Due to its water resistance and non-porous structure, engineered stone flooring is becoming more popular in kitchens, bathrooms, and below-grade basements. In addition, it is also being used in regions with significant foot traffic due to its higher wear resistance.
