The natural stone and stone products market in The Netherlands

The Netherlands is completely dependent on imported natural stone for its consumption. The Dutch market is therefore highly internationally-orientated. Moreover, imports from developing countries have increased at a faster pace in The Netherlands than they have in most other EU countries and the market share of DCs in The Netherlands is higher than the EU average. However the Dutch natural stone market is expected to decline in coming years.
