Key Highlights of the Report:
- The market of the Middle East and Africa sandstone is supported by a robust pipeline of construction and infrastructure projects, and creates the need for both structural and decorative stone.
- The increasing popularity of green building materials is increasing the popularity of sandstones as a natural and durable material with a comparatively lower embodied carbon than most other manufactured products.
- Sandstone is stealing market in outdoor and landscaping usage, and it is assisted by its performance in hot climates, and utilization in superior consumer spaces, resorts, and residential developments.
- The continuous development in cutting, finishing, and computerized design technologies is making more value-added products like custom sandstones and enhancing the margins of the processor.
- There is a good market position to take advantage of the naming of sandstone in certified green projects and Saudi and wider GCC giga-projects and tourism hubs that need high-end facade and landscape material.
According to a new report by UnivDatos, The Middle East & Africa Sandstone Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 6.50% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The market of the Middle East and Africa sandstone is steadily growing due to large-scale development programs, urban regeneration programs, and tourism-based development. Governments and private developers are spending money on transport terminals, cultural quarters, hospitality properties, and luxury residential developments in which natural stone is primary among the languages of design. Sandstone, specifically, is a material with the advantage of being suitable in hot and dry climates, its extensive color range, and connection with the local heritage architecture. The area of demand covers facades, streetscapes, landscaping, and interior accents, whereas quarrying and processing are enhancing the consistency of products, finish, and design flexibility. Simultaneously, the sustainability agenda and green-building requirements are pushing specifiers to more long-lived, low-impact materials, which also support the role of sandstone.
Segments that transform the industry
- Based on the form, the Middle East & Africa sandstone market is subdivided into tiles, slabs, and others. Among them, Tiles have long held a significant market portion of the Middle East & Africa sandstone with their wide range of applications in home flooring, wall cladding, landscaping, and remodeling. The ease of installing and generalized sizes, which are applicable in mass housing and commercial buildings, has continued to create demand. The slabs also manage to draw a significant market share, especially in high-end villas, hotels, and government facilities, where massive-sized pieces and slabs have been favored due to their beauty and the ability to sustain the weight. The other segment is still niche as it is used in architectural and artistic applications.

According to the report, Construction & Infrastructure Projects in the Region have been identified as key drivers for market growth. Some of how this impact has been felt include:
- Transport corridors, new urban communities, and large-scale government buildings are increasingly being invested in by governments to facilitate population growth, economic diversification, and tourism plans. These developments use hard and climatic purposes of facades, streetscapes, plazas, and public spaces where sandstone is often preferred due to its robustness, thermal effectiveness, and aesthetic modularity.
- Simultaneously, residential compounds, mixed-use complexes, and hospitality development projects are being launched by private developers, which are based on high-end residential properties using natural stone to distinguish their work and meet the local architectural identity. Airports, metros, waterfronts, promenades, as well as cultural districts, are all translated into long-term volumes to be used in paving, cladding, and landscape. This uninterrupted flow of public and commercial activities gives the sandstone suppliers a long-term insight into what is needed and motivates investment in quarries, processing technologies, and end-to-end supply chains in the region.
