German translation:Zuschlagstoffe / Zuschlagstoffindustrie
Explanation:
"Aggregates" steht hier m. E. verkürzt für die "aggregate(s) industry", also die Zuschlagstoffindustrie. "Quarrying" bezeichnet die "Steine- und Erdenindustrie" (bzw. im engeren Sinne Steinbruchbetriebe).

"Gesteinskörnung" ist zwar auch richtig, passt aber hier m. E. nicht, da Sektoren/Branchen bezeichnet werden sollen.
