Global Gypsum Board Market

Over the recent years, the global gypsum board market has been growing at a healthy rate. Some of the factors which are giving impetus to the market include restoration of the construction sector, escalating disposable incomes, rapid urbanisation, rising population and infrastructural developments.

Gypsum board, also known as drywall and plasterboard, refers to a panel made using a mixture of gypsum and water which is pressed between two sheets of thick paper and widely used as a construction material. It is widely used in the construction industry for preparing walls, ceilings and partition systems, particularly in the residential and commercial building projects. Gypsum board is considered as a faster alternative to conventional plastering process. Some of the benefits of using a gypsum board include durability, lightweight, cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, fire-resistance, etc. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Gypsum Board Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, estimates that the market was worth US$ 21 Billion in 2017. The report further anticipates the market to cross US$ 30 Billion by 2023, at a projected CAGR of more than 6% over the forecast period.
