Introduction to Gypsum Boards
Gypsum board is type of a material used in ceilings, walls and partitions in a building. The boards are produced by mixing gypsum with water in presence of some additives to form a semi liquid mixture, which is then fed to conveyor belts on a board machine in between continuous paper layers. The calcium sulphate produced in the mixture then recrystallizes on its way down the machine producing original rock state. The board is then cut into required lengths and design followed by drying to remove any moisture present.
The gypsum boards are highly used in construction activities owing to their light weight and adaptability to walls without beam structure. The properties of gypsum allows the gypsum to be molded into varied ceiling shapes and structures. There are mainly two types of gypsum boards available; natural gypsum boards and synthetic gypsum boards. The synthetic gypsum boards are produced by using flue-gas desulphurization process. On the back of their economics and environment friendly properties, they are highly preferred by manufacturers.
Market Size and Forecast
The global gypsum boards market is anticipated to record a CAGR of around 12% over the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027 owing to rise in residential sector and changing lifestyle of people across the world. The rapid industrialization has resulted in provision of better infrastructural facilities coupled with urbanization which is responsible for changing lifestyle of people with increased consumer spending capacity. The capacity of gypsum board to provide better quality and varied ceilings designs as compared to traditional cement and plasters is anticipated to hone the market growth. The gypsum board manufacturing cost majorly depends on the cost associated with raw materials, machine and transportation. The rise in production of synthetic gypsum boards owing to reduced costs and ease of manufacturing is anticipated to support the market growth.
The gypsum board market is segmented by product, type, application and thickness. The product type segment is further segmented into pre decorated board, wall board and ceiling board, out of which, the wall boards segment is anticipated to have leading shares of around 52% owing to their wide application in making surfaces, room interiors and partitions followed by pre-decorated board segment and ceiling boards. On the basis of application, the market is bifurcated into commercial, residential, institutional and pre-engineered metal buildings, out of which, the residential segment is anticipated to hold notable market share owing to rise in urban population and better purchasing power followed by pre-engineered metal building segment with growing industrial and commercial sector.
