Calcium Sulfate Market Analysis
The global calcium sulfate market size reached 160 Million Tons in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 221.9 Million Tons, at a projected CAGR of 3.70% during 2023-2032.
- The production of gypsum board, a common building material used for walls and ceilings, requires a lot of calcium sulfate. Gypsum boards are used extensively in surface finishing and paint applications, two essential interior design jobs that improve the space's visual attractiveness.
- According to an article published on the website of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 2023, world agricultural output increased at an average annual rate of 2.3% over the last six decades. Gypsum is capable of breaking down clay soils to improve drainage and aeration, while increasing root growth and nutrient uptake in plants. To promote plant growth and crop yields, especially in regions having high soil salinity or alkalinity, calcium sulfate is highly preferable owing to the presence of calcium and sulfur content in it.
- The calcium sulfate demand is further amplified by its utilization as a retarder to produce cement, as it can regulate the setting time and improve workability during concrete mixing and pouring. Its ability to provide uniformity to concrete while enhancing its durability and strength makes it highly valuable in the construction industry.
- As per the IMARC Group’s report, the global oil and gas market reached US$ 17.5 Billion in 2023. During drilling operations, calcium sulfate is employed as a component of drilling fluids, as it can control fluid density and stabilize borehole walls in the oil and gas industry. Drilling process is generally performed in geological formations, and calcium sulfate is known to prevent fluid loss and improve wellbore stability. In the oil and gas exploration and production activities, calcium sulfate ensures optimal performance and reliability driven by its compatibility with other drilling fluid components.
