Gravel exports by country totaled US$2.92 billion in 2025, down by an average -12.8% for all gravel shippers over the 5-year period starting from $3.34 billion in 2021.

Year over year, the overall value of the world’s exported gravel retreated by -8.3% compared to $3.18 billion during 2024.

A loose aggregation of rock fragments, gravel is a key ingredient for surfacing roadways particularly for roads in rural areas with relatively less traffic. Gravel is classified by size of its granules.

In addition, gravel is combined with sand for mixing with asphalt and for producing other construction materials including concrete blocks, bricks and pipes as construction filler. Other uses include making roofing shingles, supporting water filtration and for providing traction on icy roads during winter. Gravel can also be added with industrial sand to produce glass.

The top 5 most lucrative exporters of gravel are Norway, Germany, mainland China, Belgium and France. Collectively, that quintet of international gravel suppliers was nearly two-fifths (39.6%) of total revenues from globally exported gravel in 2025.

Among continents, European countries sold the highest dollar worth of exported gravel during 2025 with shipments valued at $1.9 billion or 65.6% of the world’s total. In second place were exporters located in Asia at 22.5% while another 9.5% of worldwide gravel shipments originated from providers in North America.

Smaller percentages came from sellers in Latin America (1.7%) excluding Mexico but including the Caribbean, Africa (0.5%), then Oceania (0.2%) led by New Zealand, Fiji and Australia.

For research purposes, the 4-digit Harmonized Tariff System code prefix is 2517 for pebbles, gravel and broken or crushed stone gravel.

Below are the 15 countries that exported the highest dollar value worth of gravel during 2025.
