Gypsum Global Market Report 2026

Gypsum involves the extraction of gypsum and its compounds, which are utilized in the manufacturing of wallboard, cement, plaster of Paris, soil conditioning, and as a hardening retarder in Portland cement.

The primary categories of gypsum include construction gypsum, agricultural gypsum, and other types of gypsum. Gypsum contributes to enhancing soil drainage and preventing waterlogging caused by a combination of high sodium, swelling clay, and excess water. The end products encompass pre-decorated boards, wallboard, and ceiling board, with applications spanning both commercial and residential sectors. Mining methods for gypsum include underground mining and surface mining.

Tariffs are impacting the gypsum market by increasing costs of imported mining machinery, processing equipment, and transportation components used in gypsum extraction and manufacturing. Construction-driven regions in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported equipment, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on gypsum product exports. These tariffs are increasing production and project costs. However, they are also promoting local gypsum mining, domestic processing expansion, and regional sourcing of construction materials.

This gypsum market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The gypsum market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $36.36 billion in 2025 to $42 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of construction and infrastructure projects, widespread use in cement production, agricultural soil conditioning practices, availability of natural gypsum reserves, established drywall manufacturing.

The gypsum market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $71.17 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to base growth in green construction materials, increasing use of gypsum-based prefabricated systems, expansion of infrastructure development, rising agricultural soil treatment demand, investments in efficient gypsum mining technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for construction-grade gypsum products, rising use of gypsum in sustainable building materials, expansion of gypsum recycling practices, growing adoption of mechanized gypsum mining, enhanced focus on product quality and consistency.

The rising cement production is expected to drive the growth of the gypsum mining market during the forecast period. Cement is a key building material that sets and hardens to bind building units together. Gypsum, the main mineral added to cement, acts as a retarding agent by regulating the setting time. Without gypsum, cement clinker can harden immediately upon mixing with water, releasing heat. For instance, in August 2025, data from India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), an India-based government-backed promotional body, reported that India's total cement volumes reached approximately 453 million tonnes in fiscal year 2024-25, marking a 6.3% year-on-year increase from 426.29 million tonnes in FY24. Additionally, in March 2025 alone, cement production reached 46.5 million tonnes, a 12% increase compared with the same month the previous year. Therefore, the rise in cement production is fueling the growth of the gypsum mining market.

Major companies in the gypsum market are concentrating on launching innovative products, such as high-quality gypsum boards, to address the increasing demand for cost-effective and efficient building materials. High-quality gypsum boards are panels that meet rigorous standards for strength, durability, and fire resistance, commonly used in construction for interior walls and ceilings. For example, in December 2023, Saint-Gobain India Pvt Ltd, an India-based company, introduced an innovative range of building products, including Habito Standard, Rigiroc, Glasroc X, and Metlance. Habito Standard is a 13mm high-quality gypsum board with an enhanced load-bearing capacity of up to 15kg per point using a regular woodscrew, providing high impact resistance. It is specifically designed for heavy-duty applications in both commercial and residential spaces.

In November 2024, Fortress Investment Group, a USA-based global investment management company, acquired Gyptech for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Fortress aimed to support Gyptech's global expansion by scaling its innovative gypsum wallboard and roofing equipment technologies, enhancing comprehensive client services, and advancing energy- and carbon-reduction solutions in gypsum manufacturing. Gyptech is a Canada-based engineering and manufacturing company specializing in the design, construction, and commissioning of gypsum wallboard and asphalt-shingle production lines, as well as engineered systems used across the global gypsum and construction materials industry.
