Analytics and Industry Trends

Deep market insights and forward-thinking analysis for decision-makers in the stone industry.

What’s really happening in the U.S. countertop market? Why is the demand for quartz rising while marble sales decline? Which states are showing growth, and where is the market slowing down? What types of projects will lead the next wave?

In this section, we dive into the data to deliver the insights that matter most. You’ll find market reports, price dynamics, supply and demand trends, and expert forecasts — everything manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, and investors need to make smarter, more strategic decisions.

Our analytics are backed by a unique data set: submissions and project requests flowing through the Countertops Contractors ranking system, input from suppliers and marketplaces, and publicly available sources. We break down the why behind the numbers and reveal the patterns shaping tomorrow’s stone market.

These articles are written not only by journalists, but also by professional analysts, industry leaders, consultants, and representatives of associations and services. Each piece is grounded in expertise and designed to help our readers stay ahead of the curve.

If you work with industry data and have valuable insights to share, we invite you to contribute. Head to the Become a Contributor page and send us your pitch. If your work adds value to the community, we’ll publish it — free of charge for non-promotional submissions.
