The U.S. basalt rock market size was estimated at USD 235.6 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 339.2 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2025 to 2030. The growth is attributed to basalt's excellent physical properties, such as corrosion resistance, high compressive strength, and thermal stability.
A significant driver is the increasing emphasis on sustainable and environmentally friendly construction practices. Basalt, a natural and recyclable material with a lower environmental impact than some synthetic alternatives, aligns well with these evolving industry standards. Furthermore, its superior properties, such as high compressive strength, resistance to weathering, and thermal stability, make it an ideal choice for infrastructure projects that require long-term durability and minimal maintenance.
The escalating demand for high-performance and lightweight materials in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and defense also plays a crucial role. Basalt fiber composites offer an attractive strength-to-weight ratio, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions in transportation applications.
