by Gypsum board, commonly known as drywall or plasterboard, is a widely used building material consisting of a sheet of gypsum sandwiched between two thick sheets of paper. Gypsum board is easy to install, lightweight, durable, fire resistant and can be painted or wallpapered like traditional building materials. It is used widely as an interior wall and ceiling material in residential and commercial construction along with partitions and ceiling tile alternatives. The rising construction of homes and commercial buildings across residential, industrial and office sectors has created a surge in the demand for gypsum boards globally.
The global Gypsum Board Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 56.68 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The key factor driving the growth of the gypsum board market is the increasing number of construction activities across the globe. According to the Global Construction 2030 report, the world’s annual construction output is projected to grow by 85% to $15.5 trillion worldwide by 2030, driven by demand from China, India, the U.S., Indonesia and several other countries across Asia and Africa. Moreover, the increasing urbanization has led to the rise in new construction of apartments, commercial buildings and hotels in cities which in turn is boosting the demand for gypsum boards. Innovation in the building materials industry has also led to the development of new gypsum board products that offer enhanced fire resistance, moisture resistance and sound insulation properties. The growing demand for green buildings due to rising environmental awareness is augmenting the market growth as gypsum boards help in reducing weight load on buildings and lower emissions during manufacturing.
Porter’s Analysis
