The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) published its latest list of the nation’s top sand and gravel producers, ranking them based on their 2023 tonnages.
According to USGS, about 967 million metric tons of sand and gravel were put out by all sand and gravel producers nationwide in 2023. The value of that total is $12.1 billion, USGS says, with the tonnage virtually flat compared with 2022.
While USGS does not publish sand and gravel tonnages by company, the agency does indicate where companies rank among its top 100. Many of the industry’s major producers – CRH Americas Materials, Vulcan Materials Co. and Martin Marietta included – appear on USGS’s top 100 and and gravel producers list this year.
According to USGS, the top 100 sand and gravel-producing companies in the U.S. accounted for roughly 52 percent of the nation’s total. The combined tonnage of the top 100 in 2023 was 504 million metric tons.
