Marble is a metamorphic rock that is commonly used in construction and sculpture due to its beauty and durability. It forms from the metamorphism of limestone and is composed primarily of calcite or dolomite minerals. Marble is known for its distinctive patterns and colours, which can vary greatly depending on the type and location of the marble quarry.

The growth of the market can be influenced by various factors, including construcand design trends, economic conditions, and technological advancements. Innovations in cutting, polishing, and installation techniques can make marble more accessible and affordable. Additionally, technology can impact the design and application of marble in various industries, driving growth.

 COVID-19 Impact: COVID-19 Hampered Market Demand due to Disruptions in Supply Chains

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. 

The pandemic disrupted global supply chains, leading to delays in the extraction, processing, and transportation of marble. Lockdowns and restrictions in various countries affected the movement of raw materials and finished products, leading to supply shortages and increased costs. The construction industry, including residential and commercial projects, was heavily impacted by the pandemic. Many construction projects were delayed or cancelled, which reduced the demand for marble as a building material. International trade in marble was affected as well.

 Many countries limited imports and exports to curb the spread of the virus, which had an impact on the market. This also affected the prices of marble in various regions. The pandemic forced many quarries and manufacturing facilities to temporarily shut down or operate with reduced staff to maintain social distancing. This led to labour shortages and, in some cases, hampered the extraction and production of marble.  With more people spending time at home, there was a shift in consumer preferences towards interior and home improvement projects. This led to increased demand for high-end, decorative marble products like countertops, tiles, and furnishings.
