How to read
- Yearly growth = average yearly rate of the market's natural-stone imports between 2022 and 2025, in USD. Share = the exporting country's weight in those imports.
- 2025 is still provisional: some countries report the year later or only in part, and their figures may rise when they complete it. A 2025 growth rate or share may therefore change.
- Not yet reported for 2025 and left out (growth needs both years): United Arab Emirates (330 M USD 2022), Vietnam (253 M USD 2022), Qatar (192 M USD 2022), Taiwan (147 M USD 2022), Iraq (129 M USD 2022), Jordan (49 M USD 2022), Lebanon (48 M USD 2022), Nepal (41 M USD 2022), Palestine (38 M USD 2022), Mongolia (29 M USD 2022), Ethiopia (27 M USD 2022), Bahrain (23 M USD 2022), Tunisia (19 M USD 2022), Ukraine (12 M USD 2022). Some are large markets; they come back once UN Comtrade publishes their data.
- Imports = what each market records (UN Comtrade, CIF values, all origins, the 19 stone codes). Share = sales the exporter itself declares to that market ÷ the market's imports, for Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Greece, India, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Türkiye; for the other exporters, what the market records. The two sides differ: in intra-EU trade the importer often records much less than the exporter declares (Intrastat thresholds, country of consignment).
- * share as recorded by the market (the exporter does not declare that destination separately in one of the years). † sources disagree: the exporter declares more than the market recorded importing in total; the market's record is used.
- All natural stone (HS chapters 25 and 68), no split by product. Sources: UN Comtrade (extracted 2026-11-08) and KEYSTONE. annual dashboards; derived values only (sums, shares, growth).
