The extraction, exploitation and trade of marble are among of the most important comparative advantages of Greek economy. However, despite the presence of many granitic bodies of various sizes in Greece, no granites are extracted systematically. As a result, the domestic demand of granites is almost totally covered by imports of either raw or processed granite. This has a serious impact to the trade gap of granites, which increases over the last fifteen years. Data on the Greek granite market are presented and evaluated, in order to elucidate the current trends. According to these, the demand for granites and the penetration of granites in the marble-granite market appear to increase over the period 1992-2008. The main factors that affect the demand for granites are the number of hotels built and the net per capita disposable income of the consumers and to a less extent the number of new and renovated dwellings.
