by Market Overview:
Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, with the chemical formula CaSO4·2H2O. It is widely used as a fertilizer and most importantly as a retardant in the manufacture of cement and plaster. Gypsum has fire resistant and sound insulating properties due to which it is used on a large scale in the construction industry for making plaster of Paris, wall boards, ceiling tiles and various other construction materials. It is a versatile mineral with wide applications in various end-use industries like construction, agriculture, food processing, ceramics.
The global Gypsum Mining Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 138.85 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The demand from the construction industry accounts for over 60% of the total gypsum consumption globally. Factors such as rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes and growing infrastructure development are driving the demand for gypsum from the construction sector. Additionally, gypsum has several desirable qualities like fire resistance, thermal insulation and sound control which further propels its preference for use in the construction of homes, commercial buildings and infrastructure projects. Other key trends include rising focus on commercial and infrastructure construction in developing countries and growing adoption of gypsum boards in non-residential construction.
