Stone Cutting, Shaping & Finishing in France industry analysis

The need for stone cutters, shapers and finishers is strictly tied to the downstream construction market, primarily residential construction. Most end-products are used to create residential single and multi-family houses, alongside apartments and condominiums. Revenue has fluctuated through 2025, stemming from various factors like the pandemic and inflationary pressures. While revenue recovered as construction projects resumed, inflation and supply chain disruptions made it less profitable for contractors to pursue new ideas, keeping revenue down. Overall, revenue is set to remain steady over the five years through 2025, reaching €767.7 million. This comes off the heels of an expected 2.1% uptick in revenue in 2025 alone as the European Central Bank lowered rates as inflation cooled down.
