Policy Shifts, Resource Scarcity, and Ethical Concerns Reshape the Market Landscape
Several critical challenges are emerging:
Resource scarcity and regulation: In India, recent extraction bans and royalty hikes for sand, laterite, and marble are choking local supply and pushing up construction costs.
Ethical sourcing and labor risks: Investigations reveal child labor in the paving stone supply chain in India, raising urgent concerns about traceability and workforce safety.
Health hazards: Artificial engineered stone has been linked to silicosis among stoneworkers, prompting policy scrutiny and heightened safety demands on both engineered and natural stone sectors.
These factors are reshaping procurement practices—not just on cost and aesthetics—but also on ethical supply, worker safety, and carbon footprint, forcing industry adaptation and transparency.
