Gypsum-Based Plasterboard Market Forecast Highlighting Growth From $26.3 Billion To $35.96 Billion
The gypsum-based plasterboard market size has experienced significant growth in recent years. Looking ahead, this market is projected to expand from $24.28 billion in 2025 to $26.3 billion in 2026, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. Historically, this expansion has been driven by factors such as the increasing adoption of drywall in both residential and commercial construction, the nascent development of acoustic and moisture-resistant solutions, a growing need for materials that allow for rapid installation, the proliferation of interior renovation projects, and an escalating dependence on gypsum-based components for construction.
The gypsum-based plasterboard market is projected to experience substantial expansion over the upcoming years, with its value anticipated to reach $35.96 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. This expansion during the forecast period is primarily driven by factors such as the increasing use of sustainable plasterboard materials, the growing uptake of sophisticated fire-rated boards, the creation of lightweight yet high-strength panels, the proliferation of intelligent moisture and acoustic control technologies, and a rise in investment toward automated board manufacturing processes. Key developments expected over the forecast horizon encompass the increasing application of lightweight wall systems, an uptick in moisture-resistant construction materials, the spread of rapidly installable interior structures, a higher rate of adoption for fire-rated partitions, and more extensive utilization of acoustically enhanced building panels.

Gypsum-Based Plasterboard Market Growth Factors Supporting Long-Term Expansion
The growth of the gypsum-based plasterboard market is expected to be propelled by increasing demand from the construction industry moving forward. Construction activities encompass a broad spectrum of tasks and operations involved in developing infrastructure for sewage, stormwater, and nonpoint-source projects. An increase in construction activity can be attributed to rapid urbanization, infrastructure development, and advancements in technology. Gypsum-based plasterboard is utilized in construction for creating interior walls, ceilings, and partitions, providing a smooth, fire-resistant, and easily installed surface that can be finished with paint or wallpaper. For instance, in November 2023, a UK-based government report from the Office for National Statistics revealed that the value of new construction work in Great Britain saw a significant surge of 15.8% in 2022, reaching a record high of (£132,989) $174,216 million. This expansion was largely driven by substantial increases in both the private sector, which grew by $18,430 million, and the public sector, which experienced a $5,329 million increase. Therefore, the rising demand from the construction industry is a key driver for the gypsum-based plasterboard market.
