  Growing construction industry is driving the market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for drywall and gypsum board is being driven by the rising construction activities. Due to its qualities including fire resistance, acoustic attenuation, and durability, gypsum board is a material that is frequently utilized in the building sector. It is primarily used as the surface layer of interior walls and ceilings, as a base for ceramic, plastic, and metal tiles, for exterior soffits, for elevator and other shaft enclosures, as area-separation walls between building units, and to protect structural elements from fire. It was developed through modern technology to meet specific requirements. When the foil surface is put against the framing, the aluminum foil backing on the majority of gypsum boards acts as an efficient vapor retarder for exterior walls.

Gypsum market growth is primarily being fueled by expanding home construction trends, rapid urban migration in key economies, higher government investment in residential real estate, and rising demand for upscale residential properties. In addition, rising real estate expenses, particularly in creating single-family homes and multistory apartments in emerging economies, are a major factor driving the gypsum industry. The market is growing as a result of the soaring demand for housing and the quickly growing urban population.
