Why Marble Prices Are Changing in 2025

Industry experts attribute the price shifts to several ongoing factors:

• Depreciation of the Pakistani rupee against major currencies.
• Increased fuel and transport costs from quarry to retail markets.
• Growing construction activity in housing societies and renovation projects.
• Seasonal spike in demand as winter construction phase begins.

A senior dealer in Lahore told Business Recorder that “rates are expected to remain stable for local marble types till mid-November, but imported marble may rise further if the rupee weakens.”

Buying Tips for Consumers and Builders

For home builders and consumers planning flooring or kitchen installations, experts recommend:

• Verify rate per sq.ft including finishing or polish before finalizing the deal.
• Compare rates from at least two local suppliers.
• Purchase slightly extra (5–10%) to cover cutting and wastage.
• Avoid overpaying for imported slabs unless the aesthetic finish is crucial.

Outlook for November 2025

Analysts believe that marble rates in Pakistan are likely to stay within current levels for the next few weeks. However, if the rupee shows further volatility or shipping costs increase, imported varieties may record another rise of Rs 50–100 per sq.ft.

Local quarries in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are also expected to adjust rates slightly upward due to diesel cost hikes, according to industry insiders.

Industry Insight

Construction sector analysts note that Pakistan’s marble exports have grown modestly during 2025 due to global demand for natural stone, but the domestic retail sector faces margin pressure. Small-scale dealers struggle to maintain prices amid rising quarrying and transportation costs.

Government policies encouraging local stone processing and value addition are expected to stabilize the market in the coming months.

Conclusion

The marble market in Pakistan as of 25 October 2025 shows stable rates for local varieties and mild volatility for imported options. Builders and homeowners are advised to monitor weekly rate updates before finalizing large-scale purchases, especially if dealing with imported marble.
