FGD Gypsum Market Forecasts to 2032 - Global Analysis By Product Type (Synthetic Gypsum, Powdered FGD Gypsum, Granulated FGD Gypsum and Pelletized FGD Gypsum), Type, Application and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global FGD Gypsum Market is accounted for $989.4 million in 2025 and is expected to reach $1662.9 million by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. FGD gypsum is a synthetic material produced as a byproduct of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) in coal-fired power plants. It results from the removal of sulfur dioxide using limestone slurry, forming calcium sulfate dihydrate-chemically identical to natural gypsum. Widely utilized in construction, agriculture, and industrial applications, FGD gypsum supports sustainable material use by reducing reliance on mined gypsum. Its consistent purity and controlled production make it a preferred choice for drywall, cement, and soil amendment, enhancing efficiency and environmental benefits.
According to the UN World Water Development Report, more than 360 billion cubic meters of wastewater is generated worldwide every year.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing global concerns about air pollution and acid rain
As industrial emissions contribute to acid rain formation, regulatory bodies are tightening emission control standards, encouraging the adoption of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) processes. FGD gypsum, a byproduct of these purification techniques, offers an eco-friendly alternative to mined gypsum in various applications. The increasing emphasis on sustainable materials in construction and agriculture further boosts market growth, reinforcing its role in mitigating environmental impact.
Restraint:
Declining reliance on coal-fired power plants
The global shift toward renewable energy and cleaner alternatives is reducing dependence on coal-fired power plants, impacting FGD gypsum production. As countries implement stringent policies to phase out coal in favor of wind, solar, and natural gas, fewer facilities are generating FGD gypsum as a byproduct. This decline in production may lead to supply constraints for industries relying on its availability.
Opportunity:
Technological advancements in purification and processing
Advanced filtration and refining methods are optimizing its chemical composition, making it more suitable for construction, agriculture, and industrial applications. Research into enhanced material properties is expanding its usability, opening doors for new market opportunities. Additionally, the integration of automation in production facilities is improving consistency and reducing waste, reinforcing its viability as a sustainable gypsum alternative.
Threat:
Accelerated coal phase-out
The increasing urgency to phase out coal-fired plants due to environmental concerns presents a significant challenge for FGD gypsum suppliers. Many governments are fast-tracking policies to curb greenhouse gas emissions, leading to reduced coal combustion and lower byproduct generation. As regulatory shifts favor cleaner technologies, manufacturers dependent on FGD gypsum must adapt to changing supply dynamics.
