Brazil reaches historic record in natural stone exports

Brazilian natural stone exports closed 2024 with revenues of US$ 1.263 billion, a  significant growth of 12.7% compared to 2023, according to data from the Brazilian  Natural Stone Association (Centrorochas). December stood out with an expressive  performance, recording revenues of US$ 125.3 million, 64.1% more than the same month  of the previous year and consolidating the best result in history for this period. 

These figures reaffirm Brazil as one of the global leaders in the sector and reinforce the  strategic moment for initiatives such as Marmomac Brazil, which will take place from  February 18 to 20, at Anhembi, in São Paulo. The event, which has traditionally been held  in Italy for 50 years, is having its first edition in Brazil, organized by Milanez & Milaneze, a  company of the Veronafiere Group responsible for the Italian edition, and is being pointed  out as one of the main drivers of the optimistic outlook for the sector next year, with  business projections that could exceed R$ 1 billion. In addition to highlighting the country  as a hub of excellence in production, innovation and design, the fair reinforces Brazil's  strategic role in the sector. 

Marmomac Brazil is a strategic platform to leverage Brazil's role in the international natural  stone market. In addition to presenting the country as a hub of excellence in production,  innovation and design, the fair aims to reinforce the sector's relevance on the global stage  and attract new investments.  

The fair has already registered visitors from over 50 countries, including the USA, China,  Italy, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates, and plans to hold an international business  round in partnership with the It's Natural - Brazilian Natural Stone project, carried out by  

Centrorochas and ApexBrasil. The round has already confirmed the participation of buyers  from seven countries: Australia, Canada, USA, India, Lebanon, Poland, Romania and  Taiwan 

The strength of the sector and the global relevance of Brazil

he record export figures in 2024 not only highlight the competitiveness of Brazilian natural  stones, but also reflect the continuous efforts of innovation and opening markets.  Marmomac Brazil plays a fundamental role in this context, connecting the excellent  economic performance of the sector with opportunities for sustainable growth and global  expansion. 

Expected to attract more than 15,000 national and international visitors, the event  promises to strengthen Brazil's image as a world reference in natural rocks, uniting  business, technology and design trends to boost a sector that is already one of the pillars  of the national economy.
