市场分析： 德国及其领国仍然是世界上最大石材进口市场之一。出口到德国市场石材主要来自意大利、西班牙、法国和瑞士国家。全世界一半以上石材都是由欧洲国家提供。欧洲依然是石材消费最大的阵地。欧洲人已经发现石材作为建筑材料的用途。在欧洲大家觉得天然石材具有时尚、坚固耐久性以及能源节约特点，所以价格比以往更有优势了。自1980年以来，欧盟石材用量已经增长了40%。就石材产量而言，虽然欧洲几乎不能与世界其他地区水平相比，但欧洲作为石材进口目标地区的领军地位不可动摇，欧洲需要石材。 随着整个欧洲天然石材业的复苏，消费量日益强劲增长，展商和买家对STONE+TEC的 质量满意度不断提高，德国纽伦堡国际石材展作为欧洲中心的天然石展会，该展已成为欧洲石材界不可逾越的风向标，是企业开拓欧美市场不可错失的良机。

展会报告(Show Reports):
The Stone+tec Nuremberg trade fair for natural stone and stone technology has drawn to a close after four days, with a satisfactory outcome: exhibitors and visitors were pleased with the event, whilst there are plans to further develop the fair in order to bring together all the key companies and offer additional attractions for visitors.
Nuremberg – Around 220 exhibitors and co-exhibitors showcased their products and services at Stone+tec in the areas of ‘Building with Natural Stone’, ‘Equipment for Professionals’ and ‘Place of Remembrance’. Over 8,000 visitors attended Stone+tec 2026, generating very good sales for the exhibitors, in some cases as early as the first few days of the fair.
For the exhibiting companies, Stone+tec was the ideal opportunity to meet customers in person, hold discussions and secure business deals. Given the current economic climate, some companies went into the trade fair with cautious expectations, but these were often exceeded thanks to successful business deals. Stone+tec 2026 offered a good mix of exhibitors’ products and services, high-calibre specialist presentations, practical workshops and plenty of opportunities for face-to-face exchanges. National and international associations and trade media were present in person at Stone+tec and took the opportunity to network.
In the natural stone sector in particular, there were a number of companies exhibiting that had not been present at Stone+tec in previous years. This meant that visitors were able to choose from a wider range of products, which proved very popular.
Particularly in the ‘Equipment for Professionals’ section, where machinery and technology were on display, companies that did not attend this year have already announced that they wish to return to Stone+tec 2028 to reach their customers, showcase their machinery in person and be part of the industry family.
The major players in the industry were represented in the memorials section. With their appealing exhibition stands, they were able to attract many customers and secure successful business deals. Visitors specifically sought out this section, keen to make investments.
The new Stone+tec Expert Forum, which was situated in the centre of the hall, proved very successful; many visitors took the opportunity to further their knowledge and learn more about specialist topics. Thanks to the stage’s central location, the presentation of the German Natural Stone Award was also integrated into the exhibition programme, and the prestigious architecture competition attracted a large number of additional visitors.
The managing directors of AFAG, the organisers of Stone+tec, Henning and Thilo Könicke, sum up this year’s Stone+tec as follows: “It’s always a pleasure to welcome the industry family to Nuremberg: Stone+tec has once again proven its status as a key industry gathering, and we are delighted that all the major players – whether as exhibitors or visitors – were represented here. We are very proud of the participants in the young talent competition, who performed well despite the midsummer heat and produced intricate stonework. And we are impressed by the high-calibre works that were honoured at the German Natural Stone Awards.”
Alexander Stein has been the new project manager for Stone+tec since March and took the opportunity to get to know the industry in person in Nuremberg: “I am grateful that the natural stone industry has given me such a warm welcome, and I look forward to the further development of Stone+tec and to continuing discussions with the industry. Numerous companies have already confirmed their participation in Stone+tec 2028, and we look forward to welcoming the natural stone industry back to Nuremberg in June 2028. The aim is to showcase a greater diversity of exhibitors at Stone+tec 2028 and to expand the range of products and services on offer at the trade fair once again.”
The next Stone+tec Nuremberg, the trade fair for natural stone and stone technology, will take place from 21 to 24 June 2028 at Messe Nürnberg. The technical sponsors of Stone+tec are the Federal Guild Association of German Stonemasons and Stone Sculptors (BIV) and the German Natural Stone Association (DNV).
