Dimension Sandstone Sold Or Used By Producers In The United States, By State

This table provides detailed information on the quantity and value of dimension sandstone sold or used by producers across various states in the United States. Dimension sandstone, a natural stone product used extensively in construction, architectural applications, and landscaping, plays a significant role in regional economies by supporting local mining operations and related industries. Tracking production and sales data by state helps identify key production areas, assess market trends, and inform resource management and economic planning efforts within the mineral sector.

Analysis of the data reveals that total dimension sandstone production decreased from 411,000 metric tons in 2021 to 385,000 metric tons in 2022, while the total value declined slightly from $40.8 million to $39.9 million. Texas remains the dominant producer, accounting for approximately 183,000 metric tons in 2022, with a value increase from $15.3 million to $16.1 million despite a minor drop in quantity. Pennsylvania showed growth in output, rising from 19,600 to 22,400 metric tons, though its value remained steady near $4.1 million. The “Other” category, which includes states with withheld data, also increased both in quantity and value, suggesting growth in smaller or proprietary operations. Notably, Oklahoma’s reported quantity data was withheld in 2022, preventing direct comparison, but it had been a significant producer with 34,600 metric tons in 2021. Overall, the data indicates a modest contraction in total production but stable market value, reflecting possible shifts in demand or supply dynamics within the dimension sandstone industry.
