What Is Covered Under Gypsum Market?

Gypsum refers to the process of mining gypsum and its compounds which are used in the production of wallboard, cement, plaster of Paris, soil conditioning, and as a hardening retarder in Portland cement. The main types of gypsum are gypsum – construction, agricultural gypsum, and other types- of gypsum. Gypsum improves the ability of soil to drain and not become waterlogged due to a combination of high sodium, swelling clay, and excess water. The products used pre-decorated boards, wallboards, and ceiling boards. The applications involved commercial and residential. The mining type includes underground mining and surface mining.

What Is The Gypsum Market Growth Forecast?

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.

What Is The Driver Of The Gypsum Market?

A rise in cement production is expected to drive the growth of the gypsum mining market during the forecast period. Cement is one of the most important building materials that sets and hardens to adhere to building units. Gypsum is the main mineral that is added to the cement. It is called the retarding agent of cement as it is mainly used for regulating the setting time of the cement. Without gypsum, cement clinker can condense immediately by mixing with water and releasing heat. For instance, in August 2025, according to data published by India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), an India-based, government-backed promotional body, India’s total cement volumes reached approximately 453 million tonnes in fiscal year 2024–25, representing a year‑on‑year increase of about 6.3 % from 426.29 million tonnes in FY24. Additionally, in March 2025 alone, cement production volumes were reported at 46.5 million tonnes, a 12 % increase compared with the same month the previous year. Therefore, the rise in cement production would promote the growth of the gypsum industry.
