Mexico Plasterboard Market

Mexico Plasterboard Market Overview:

The Mexico plasterboard market size reached USD 362.64 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 726.81 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.20% during 2025-2033. Rising demand for lightweight, quick-install materials in housing and industrial projects is supporting steady growth. Apart from this, growing use in modular interiors and moisture-resistant applications continues to strengthen Mexico plasterboard market share across real estate, manufacturing, and infrastructure development segments.

Mexico Plasterboard Market Trends:

Construction Sector Boosts Demand

The Mexico plasterboard market growth is increasingly tied to expansion in construction activity. Government-backed housing initiatives and rising investments in commercial real estate are playing a direct role in boosting demand. Rapid urbanization in key cities like Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Mexico City has led to a growing demand for cost-effective and efficient building materials. Plasterboard fits well here due to its easy installation, lightweight structure, and thermal insulation properties. Contractors prefer it for both partitioning and ceiling applications. Growing interest in sustainable construction is also helping the material gain traction, especially when paired with recycled content and low-emission adhesives. In the lower half of the market, manufacturers are introducing region-specific product lines to meet localized climate and seismic considerations. A noticeable development is the rising preference for moisture-resistant and fire-rated variants in high-density areas. These adaptations align with stricter building codes and growing awareness about indoor air quality. Additionally, the hotel and tourism sectors, particularly in coastal states, are using plasterboards to meet fast-track renovation schedules. Foreign direct investments in infrastructure and logistics parks have further strengthened the material’s position. These trends suggest that the market is being reshaped not just by volume, but also by product specialization and application diversity.

Industrial Projects Fueling Consumption

Industrial expansion is another driver pushing plasterboard consumption upward in Mexico. Automotive assembly plants, logistics hubs, and electronics manufacturing units especially along the northern border have led to increased demand for quick-to-install, durable interior materials. Plasterboard serves as a preferred choice for setting up administrative areas within large industrial facilities. Its cost-effectiveness and compatibility with steel framing systems make it a practical option in high-speed construction settings. In recent quarters, demand has also been driven by energy sector infrastructure, particularly for solar and wind project control buildings. One trend gaining momentum is the increasing use of laminated plasterboard in settings where both acoustic control and aesthetic finish are required. Some local producers are now offering customized board thicknesses and edge profiles, a shift from earlier one-size-fits-all approaches. This product tailoring is being driven by architects working on modern industrial parks aiming to balance functionality and visual appeal. The uptick in warehouse construction post-pandemic has also helped, with developers opting for plasterboard for faster tenant turnover. Trade relationships with the U.S. have indirectly supported this demand through nearshoring, leading to industrial builds in northern states. Collectively, these shifts reflect a broader move toward tailored, time-efficient interior solutions across industrial projects.
