The synthetic gypsum market size is projected to grow from USD 1.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.8 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.3%. The rapidly expanding construction industry, encompassing both residential and non-residential infrastructure on a global scale, is significantly propelling the demand for cement, gypsum board, plaster blocks, plasters and other building materials. This surge in demand is, leads to further driving the demand of synthetic gypsum, as synthetic gypsum is a key ingredient in the production of plasterboard (gypsum board) and cement industry.

FGD Gypsum is projected to be the fastest-growing segment by application in Synthetic gypsum market”
FGD gypsum is set to emerge as the most rapidly expanding segment within the synthetic gypsum market. This swift expansion is fueled by the growing implementation of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) technology in power plants, aimed at managing sulfur dioxide emissions, which significantly boosts FGD gypsum production. Its application in construction, especially in the manufacturing of gypsum boards and cement, is increasing as result of its environmental advantages and affordability. This upward trend represents a wider movement toward sustainable and efficient practices within the synthetic gypsum industry.

The cement sector is poised to emerge as the fastest growing segment within the synthetic gypsum market. This shift is attributed to the growing utilization of synthetic gypsum as a vital ingredient in cement manufacturing, it serves as a retarder to regulate the setting time of the cement mix. The increasing preference for environmentally friendly and sustainable building materials is fueling this development, as synthetic gypsum offers a greener substitute for natural gypsum. As a result, the expansion of the cement industry is likely to greatly enhance the demand for synthetic gypsum

“Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest growing segment in Synthetic gypsum market by region”
The Asia Pacific area is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing sector in the synthetic gypsum market. This swift expansion is largely due to the increasing construction and infrastructure activities in the region, which are boosting the demand for gypsum-based products. The rising use of synthetic gypsum in gypsum board production, cement manufacturing, and various other construction materials is in line with the ongoing trends of urbanization and industrial development in the area. Moreover, strict environmental policies are promoting synthetic gypsum as a more sustainable choice compared to natural gypsum, which is further driving its market growth in the Asia Pacific. Consequently, significant progress in synthetic gypsum applications and market development is anticipated in the years ahead.
