Dimension stone is a natural rock
which is primarily cut into different sizes for its application in construction
& monument industries. The dimension stone mining industry comprised of
development of mine and cutting of dimension stones for giving new and desired
appearance to the stone. Dimension stone products further includes blocks of
rock as marble, granite, limestone, sandstone and slate. Successive to cutting
and polishing, these stones are used in the construction of buildings and
monuments, and also as exterior and as interior decorative materials on
buildings. The color, texture and pattern and surface finishing is some of
basic requirements and other important choice criteria includes the toughness,
time, and ability of dimensioning and stone enduring, maintaining essential and
distinctive strength characteristics, resistance related to decay, and
appearance.
According to study, “Dimension
Stone Mining Global Market Report 2019” the key companies operating in
the dimension stone mining global market are Encyclopedia of Arkansas,
Metallica Commodities Corp., Ministry of Mines and Energy, United States Lime
and Minerals Inc., Martin Marietta Aggregates, Carmeuse Lime and Stone, MINTEK,
Cemex, Vulcan Materials.
Some of the key features associated
for identifying the sites include remote surveying and geological mapping for
mines and using LIDAR and UAV. The mining activity is developed by accurate
data for planning mining processes. The LIDAR is a light detection and ranging,
is a remote sensing techniques using light in the form of a pulsed laser for
measure the ranges. LIDAR is a surveying technique used for mining area that
helps in determining ore body, mining pit volume, and pre-strip and spoil
surface volumes. The UAVs, stands for the unmanned aerial vehicle or drone, and
is a type of aircraft which operates without a human pilot interventions. The
recent improvements in technological development have led use of UAVs for
multiple purposes.
Based on product type, dimension
stone mining market is segmented into marble, limestone, granite, sandstone,
slate and others (soapstone (massive talc), alabaster (massive gypsum) and
serpentine). Marble is a commercially crystalline rock consisting of
predominantly calcite, dolomite, or serpentine which is capable of taking a
polish. In addition, based on end-use industry, market is segmented into
manufacture, construction, and others.
The market is driven by increase in
demand in the construction and real estate industry. Some of the other key
factors driving market include increase in consumer awareness based on impact
of building materials on environment contributing increase in demand for the
natural building materials. This has further led to an increase in demand for
sustainable flooring, wall tiles, and roofing products. Some of the developed
markets such as the US and Western Europe have implemented strict regulations
ensuring eco-friendly building construction. Consumers are increasingly opting
for natural stone products such as marble and granite and opposition to
products with plastic composites and other emission-prone products.
The growing adoption of diamond
wire cutting is one of key new trends being registered over global dimension
stone market. The factors such as large scale increased accuracy and reduced
wastage of material.
