Brazil's natural stone companies closed 2025 with record exports of $1.5 billion, and aim to increase this to $3 billion by 2030, focusing on the U.S. market.
Brazilian natural stone companies have reached a record $1.5 billion in exports as of 2025, with the United States being a major market, accounting for approximately $800 million of that figure. The U.S. consumes 90% of the semi-finished stone products, indicating a strong demand for Brazilian exports, especially given their current 23% market share. Analysts from Centrorochas, the Brazilian Association of Natural Stones, anticipate that exports could potentially double by 2030, projected to reach $3 billion due to increasing construction demands in the U.S.
The largest opportunity for growth lies within the sector of large residential construction companies in the U.S., such as D.R. Horton and Lennar, which are constructing thousands of housing units annually. These companies require a steady and consistent supply of materials, which positions Brazilian companies to focus on meeting this specific market need. With the potential for increased demand, Brazilian firms are adjusting their strategies to serve this sector efficiently.
As the Brazilian natural stone industry prepares for significant growth in exports, strategic partnerships and reliability in supply chains will be crucial. The ongoing development within U.S. housing and construction sectors presents both opportunities and challenges for Brazilian exporters, who must ensure they meet quality and delivery expectations to capitalize on this expanding market.
