The start of using natural stones as construction and decoration material has lead to an increase in the world natural stone production. The increase in the last ten years, in particular, is parallel to the earnings and the developments in processing technology.
With the constantly improving processing techniques, the stones can now be more easily and economically processed and new areas of usage can be found. With architects and decorators preferring the use of materials made of natural stone, this leads to an increase in the number of the consumers in the world.

Alongside this, the considerable decline in market prices coupled with the increase in interest towards ecological and esthetic looking material are subsidiary factors affecting the rise in consumption.

Experts predict that this improvement will continue over the coming years. In today鈥檚 world, there are seven core natural stone producer countries, accounting for some 70% of the world鈥檚 production as you can see on the right side.
