The price of crushed stone in the United States has continuously risen over the last decade, reaching a peak of an estimated 15.60 U.S. dollars per metric ton in 2023.
U.S. crushed stone production: every state participates
The U.S. crushed stone production amounted to an estimated total of 1.5 billion metric tons in 2023, a slight decrease compared to the previous year. All 50 U.S. states are producers of crushed stone, with an estimated 1,400 companies operating 3,500 quarries across the country. Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida were among the largest crushed stone producers. Most of the stone produced domestically was limestone and dolomite, followed by granite.
Crushed stone consumption in the United States
The U.S. volume of crushed stone imports amounted to 13 million metric tons in 2023. Of the stone that was consumed, the majority was used as construction material, largely for road construction and maintenance. The demand and supply of crushed stone tends to depend highly on the overall wellbeing of the construction market. A growing public and private construction sector will likely lead to rising crushed stone prices. In terms of recycling, crushed stone aggregate that was used in road surfaces have been increasingly recycled across the United States. Sand and gravel can be used as substitutes for crushed stone in road building.
