Gypsum Board Market to Record CAGR of 3.6% Over 2025-2032; Increased Recycling of Gypsum Boards to Strengthen Market’s Growth Potential

The global gypsum board market size was valued USD 13.73 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 14.19 billion in 2025 to USD 18.16 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period.

Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its latest report titled “Gypsum Board Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Regular Gypsum Boards, Fire & Moisture Resistant Boards, and Others), By Installation (Screwing into Studs and Gluing to Concrete), By Application (Gypsum Board Partitioning, Ceilings and Wall Coverings, and Others), By End-Use (Residential, Commercial, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032”.

Gypsum board is a type of plasterboard used to cover partitions or walls and is majorly made of wood pulp or plaster. This type of board is majorly used in interior designing to give an attractive finish to walls and ceilings. It is available in different varieties, such as moisture-resistant boards, fire-resistant boards, mobile boards, and regular boards. The robust expansion of the construction industry is one of the key factors driving the use of these boards.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the market growth due to a sudden decline in the volume of construction activities. The construction sector was among the worst hit industries during this period as social distancing norms and lockdowns enforced by governments caused severe labor and raw material shortages. This factor decreased the demand for these boards, thereby slowing the market growth.

Increased Recycling of Gypsum Boards to Strengthen Market’s Growth Potential

The demand for eco-friendly construction materials is growing among customers as they want to reduce their impact on the environment. This factor is increasing the use of recycled gypsum boards. These boards can act as the best alternative to landfill disposal, which produces harmful gases, such as hydrogen sulfide. These factors are expected to make construction activities eco-friendlier.

However, improper discarding of the product waste in the landfills converts the gypsum into toxic hydrogen sulfide when it comes in the contact of the environment, hampering the gypsum board market growth.

Saint-Gobain Acquired Assets of Seven Hills Paperboard LLC to Gain Better Control Over Raw Materials Supply

Saint-Gobain announced that it had purchased the remaining assets and equity interest of Seven Hills Paperboard LLC, including a gypsum paper board liner manufacturing plant from its joint venture partner WestRock. This move offered Saint-Gobain better control over the delivery of crucial raw materials and components that are necessary for the production of gypsum boards and related products.

Key Players to Sign Merger & Acquisition Agreements to Solidify Market Dominance

The market is fairly fragmented due to the presence of well-established and emerging companies. The leading market players are entering a wide range of merger & acquisition and partnership agreements, and launching novel products with innovative features in the market.
