The constant growth of Indian marble industry is because of the reason that they are highly acclaimed and possess characters like low cost, beautiful looks and longevity. The industry is also equipped with state of the art resource of machinery and tool manufacturers who cater very well to the rising demands of this sector.
Factors affecting the demand and supply of marbles in India
Studies have shown an increasing trend in both demand and supply of marbles. The factors which highly influence the demand and supply of marble in the country are due to the following:
Increased Production- The production of marbles has increased manifolds in recent years with the introduction of mining machinery and development of new mining fields. Furthermore, in recent years few marble producing regions have been discovered. Makarana and Ambaji were only regions in Rajasthan which where producing marbles on large scale but at present marbles are being produced at more than 20 centres of the state.
Decrease in construction activities- It has been observed that the production of marble is increasing day by day whereas the consumption of marble is decreasing with the decline in construction activity. So, the production of marble is huge as compared to its utilization.
