Gypsum boards are light weight construction materials that are widely being used as walls, ceilings and for partitions in interiors or exteriors of residential or non-residential structures. They are often called drywall, wallboard or plasterboard and can be directly attached to wood and metal framing or existing surfaces using screws, nails or adhesives. Gypsum boards provide sound control, versatility, quality, convenience and their non-combustible core makes them different from plywood, hardboard and fiberboard. Thus, they have become prevalent and are serving as a speedier alternative to traditional lath and plaster.
The demand for gypsum boards is directly related to the growth of the construction sector, especially the commercial and the housing sectors. Currently, the United States represents the world’s largest market for gypsum boards followed by Europe. Factors like-strong recovery in building construction spending in both developed and emerging markets, increasing demand for quality housing and better living conditions, large scale industrialization, and supporting government policies in major markets are expected to drive this market in the short and medium terms.
