Synthetic Gypsum Global Market Report 2026

Synthetic gypsum, a byproduct of various industrial processes, primarily consists of calcium sulfate dihydrate. It finds significant applications in the construction and agricultural sectors, particularly in cement production, soil conditioning, and other related uses.

The main categories of synthetic gypsum include Citrogypsum, Fluorogypsum, Phosphogypsum, and Titanogypsum. Citrogypsum is acquired as a byproduct in the manufacturing of citric acid. Fluorogypsum, on the other hand, is a byproduct of hydrofluoric acid manufacturing. Phosphogypsum is generated as a byproduct during phosphoric acid manufacturing, and Titanogypsum is a byproduct of titanium dioxide acid manufacturing. These various types of synthetic gypsum primarily serve the chemical and agriculture industries.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the synthetic gypsum market by increasing costs of handling equipment, processing machinery, and transportation infrastructure used for gypsum recovery and utilization. Construction and agriculture sectors in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported equipment, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented gypsum products. These tariffs are impacting pricing and project economics. However, they are also encouraging localized processing, domestic utilization of industrial byproducts, and reduced dependence on imported natural gypsum.

The synthetic gypsum market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.76 billion in 2025 to $1.89 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of coal-fired power generation byproducts, growth of construction material demand, increasing use of gypsum in cement, rising agricultural soil amendment applications, availability of synthetic gypsum supplies.

The synthetic gypsum market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.47 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable construction materials, rising adoption of circular industrial byproducts, expansion of eco-friendly soil conditioners, growing regulatory support for waste reuse, increasing investments in green building materials. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of fgd gypsum in construction, rising adoption in cement and drywall production, growing application in soil conditioning, expansion of industrial byproduct utilization, enhanced focus on waste-to-resource practices.

The growing inclination toward home remodeling and renovations is expected to drive the growth of the synthetic gypsum market. Home remodeling and renovations involve updating or improving residential spaces to enhance functionality, aesthetics, and property value. This trend is fueled by homeowners' desire for personalized living spaces and rising real estate prices, making renovation a cost-effective alternative to relocating. Synthetic gypsum is commonly used in decorative applications such as architectural moldings, ceiling designs, wall panels, and ornamental features due to its moldability and smooth finish. For instance, in January 2023, the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, a US-based research center, projected that national spending on remodeling and repairs for owner-occupied homes would reach $485 billion in 2023, marking a 2.6% increase from 2022. Therefore, the rising focus on home remodeling is supporting the synthetic gypsum market.

Key companies in the synthetic gypsum market are expanding their manufacturing and operational capabilities to meet the growing demand driven by construction and remodeling activities. Synthetic gypsum, a byproduct of flue-gas desulfurization and other industrial processes, is widely used in producing drywall, plaster, and cement, offering environmentally friendly alternatives to natural gypsum. For example, in May 2024, EuroChem, a Switzerland-based producer of fertilizers and chemicals, launched Phase III of its Kazakhstan chemical complex project. This phase will produce synthetic gypsum and calcium chloride as byproducts, which will be utilized in construction materials and as reagents in the road construction, coal, and hydrocarbon sectors.

In July 2023, Charah Solutions, Inc., a US-based leading provider of environmental and maintenance services for the power generation industry, focused on managing coal ash and other byproducts, announced its acquisition of Capital Partners (SER) for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Charah's position in delivering sustainable environmental services, including coal ash management and remediation. The partnership aligns with SER's commitment to sustainability-driven investments and supports Charah's efforts to expand its service offerings while advancing its mission to provide innovative environmental solutions in the power generation sector.
