What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The GypsumBased Plasterboard Market?

The expansion of the gypsum-based plasterboard market is foreseen due to the escalating demand from the construction sector. Construction engagements include a myriad of responsibilities and procedures required in the infrastructure development of sewage, stormwater, and nonpoint-source projects. This surge in construction activities is a result of rapid urbanization, infrastructure growth, and technological advancements. The use of gypsum-based plasterboard is prevalent in construction for the creation of interior walls, ceilings, and partitions due to its smooth, fire-resistant, easily installable surface suitable for paint or wallpaper finishing. For instance, a report from the Office for National Statistics in the UK showed that in November 2023, new construction work value in Great Britain jumped by 15.8% in 2022, hitting a record high of (£132,989) $174,216 million. This spike was majorly influenced by considerable hikes in both private sector, which went up by $18,430 million, and the public sector, with an increase of $5,329 million. Consequently, the escalating demand from the construction sector is steering the growth of the gypsum-based plasterboard market.
