Abstract
North American gypsum demand to benefit from recovery in US housing
Demand for crude gypsum and gypsum products in North America will benefit from
the recovery of the US residential housing sector by 2013. Consumption of
gypsum is heavily dependent upon construction activity, given that the bulk of
demand is consumed in gypsum board (wallboard), building plasters and cement.
The collapse of the US housing market in 2007 and 2008 caused demand for
gypsum and gypsum products to decline dramatically. As the US housing sector
recovers, demand for gypsum building products will also rebound from its weak
2008 base. Prospects for gypsum and gypsum products in Canada and Mexico will
be less promising, especially in Canada, where construction activity is
expected to be stagnant through 2013.
Synthetic gypsum to continue gaining market share
Crude gypsum supplies in North America continue to be dominated by material
extracted from gypsum mines. Such material accounted for more than
threequarters of regional demand in 2008. Synthetic gypsum, which is produced
as a by-product of the flue gas desulfurization process used at coal-fired
electric power plants, accounted for the remainder. Synthetic gypsum has
increased its share of the total market rapidly over the last ten years, and
will continue to account for a growing portion of demand, although gains will
be less rapid.
Dominant construction market to offer best growth opportunities
Demand for gypsum products is dominated by construction materials,
particularly gypsum board, building plasters and cement additives. Overall,
construction products accounted for 88 percent of gypsum product demand in
2008. Construction markets will post the most rapid gains through 2013, as the
US housing market recovers from its weak 2008 performance. In particular,
growth prospects will be best in residential construction markets, while
nonresidential markets remain relatively flat. Nonbuilding markets will
advance about 2.0 percent annually through 2013. Consumption of gypsum
products in industrial and agricultural markets will continue to lag overall
growth.
Study coverage
This new Freedonia industry study, Gypsum Products in North America, presents
historical demand data (1998, 2003, 2008) as well as forecasts for 2013 and
2018 for crude gypsum (both mined and synthetic), calcined gypsum products
(gypsum board, building plasters, industrial plasters) and uncalcined gypsum
products (e.g., cement additives, soil amendments and fillers) by type, market
and country. The study also considers market environment factors, evaluates
company market share and profiles industry competitors, including USG,
National Gypsum and Georgia-Pacific.

DEMAND FOR GYPSUM PRODUCTS IN NORTH AMERICA TO EXCEED 47 MILLION METRIC TONS IN 2013
September 16th, 2009
Demand for gypsum products in North America is projected to increase 2.7 percent annually through 2013 to 47.7 million metric tons, valued at $5.3 billion. Gypsum board is the largest gypsum product segment by a wide margin, accounting for about 70 percent of demand. Demand for gypsum board is projected to rise 3.2 percent annually through 2013. Gains in demand for gypsum products will derive primarily from the recovery of the US new housing sector, the leading consumer of gypsum. These and other trends are presented in Gypsum in North America, a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industry research firm.
In the US, demand for gypsum and gypsum products declined sharply in 2007 and 2008, as new housing construction collapsed in the wake of upheaval in the banking and credit industries and with the onset of a general economic recession. Going forward, the recovery of the US new housing sector from its depressed 2008 levels will lead the industry back to positive growth.
Demand for gypsum and gypsum products in Canada and Mexico will also show growth through 2013. In Mexico, demand will increase 2.1 percent annually through 2013, representing a deceleration from the gains posted in the 1998-2008 time frame, reflecting slowing growth in both residential and nonresidential construction activity. Better prospects will emerge in nonbuilding markets in Mexico, due to expanded infrastructure construction. In Canada, demand for gypsum products will increase only marginally, reflecting a contraction in new housing construction and decelerating growth in residential improvement and repair spending, nonresidential construction and nonbuilding construction.
Synthetic gypsum, which accounted for 24 percent of crude gypsum supply in 2008, will continue to gradually increase its share of crude gypsum production. Synthetic gypsum, which is widely available in the United States and Canada, is produced primarily as a byproduct of the flue gas desulfurization process for reducing emissions at coal-fired power plants.
