Earlier Report Observations

The market for marble and travertine blocks and slabs in Bosnia and Herzegovina expanded strongly from 2021 to 2023, with its size rising from $945 thousand to $1 815 thousand. This growth coincided with a sharp increase in import values, which more than doubled over the two-year period, while domestic production showed steady growth.

In 2024, the market contracted to $1 163 thousand, primarily due to a significant drop in import values to $833 thousand. Domestic production continued to increase, reaching $402 thousand, but this was insufficient to offset the decline in imports, leading to a smaller overall market.
