Stone quarries in France have faced turbulent conditions amid recent economic volatility. High inflation since 2023 has pushed revenue down and caused many quarries to consolidate. With construction companies holding back on projects in the face of high borrowing costs, the need for stone has plummeted, reducing revenue. Despite an uptick in production after the economy started to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, revenue is slated to fall at a compound annual rate of 6.2% over the five years through 2025 to €2.3 billion, including a 4.5% downturn in 2025 alone.
