Press Release

Plasterboard Market is expected to Grow with a CAGR of 6.66% through 2030

The Plasterboard Market is driven by growing construction activity, demand for energy-efficient building materials, increasing residential and commercial developments, and the need for fire-resistant, soundproof, and eco-friendly wall solutions.


According to TechSci Research report, “Plasterboard Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Plasterboard Market was valued at USD 30.22 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 44.89 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.66% during the forecast period. A significant trend in the Plasterboard Market is the increasing adoption of fire-resistant plasterboards, particularly in the commercial and residential building sectors. As fire safety regulations become more stringent globally, there is a heightened demand for building materials that offer enhanced fire resistance to protect lives and property. Fire-resistant plasterboards, which are specially formulated to withstand high temperatures and slow the spread of flames, are increasingly being used in walls, ceilings, and partitions, particularly in high-risk areas such as kitchens, stairwells, and utility rooms. These plasterboards are gaining popularity in both new construction and renovation projects due to their ability to provide an additional layer of fire protection without compromising on structural integrity or aesthetics. As part of fire safety regulations, many regions require specific fire ratings for building materials used in construction, pushing architects and contractors to seek compliant materials. The ability of fire-resistant plasterboards to meet these rigorous standards while maintaining ease of installation and cost-effectiveness is driving their widespread adoption. Moreover, fire-resistant plasterboards are often combined with other fire suppression systems, such as sprinklers and smoke detectors, creating a comprehensive fire protection solution. The ongoing urbanization and construction of high-rise buildings, where the risk of fire spread is more pronounced, further accelerate the demand for these products. This trend is expected to continue as building regulations evolve, particularly in regions with high seismic or fire risk, where fire-resistant plasterboards offer enhanced safety and peace of mind for building occupants and owners.

Based on Form, the Tapered-Edged segment held the largest Market share in 2024. The growth of the Plasterboard Market in the Tapered-Edged segment is primarily driven by the increasing demand for efficient, high-quality, and easy-to-install drywall systems in both residential and commercial construction projects. Tapered-edged plasterboards, characterized by their unique edge design that allows for seamless joining and reduced finishing time, are gaining popularity due to their ability to simplify the installation process and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of interior spaces. As the construction industry continues to grow, particularly in emerging economies, the demand for cost-effective and time-efficient materials is rising, driving the adoption of tapered-edged plasterboard solutions. The ability to create smooth, flush walls and ceilings with minimal jointing and finishing work is a key selling point, reducing labor costs and installation time, which is particularly important in large-scale commercial projects with tight timelines. Additionally, the demand for sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials is further propelling the growth of the tapered-edged plasterboard segment. Many manufacturers are now producing plasterboards using recycled materials and low-emission processes, appealing to environmentally conscious builders and consumers. The expansion of green building standards and certifications, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), is also encouraging the use of sustainable and high-performance materials, boosting the adoption of tapered-edged plasterboards in projects aimed at meeting these stringent requirements. Furthermore, the increasing focus on soundproofing, fire resistance, and thermal insulation in modern buildings is driving demand for advanced plasterboard solutions. Tapered-edged plasterboards are well-suited for these applications, as they offer enhanced durability, fire resistance, and acoustic properties, making them ideal for use in both residential and commercial buildings, including offices, hotels, schools, and hospitals. The rapid urbanization and infrastructural development in emerging markets, particularly in Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America, are contributing to the growing demand for plasterboard products, including tapered-edged variants. These regions are experiencing a boom in construction activities, fueled by rising disposable incomes, urban migration, and a need for modern housing and commercial spaces. As these regions continue to develop, the demand for plasterboard products that meet both functional and aesthetic requirements is increasing, positioning tapered-edged plasterboards as a preferred solution. Additionally, advancements in plasterboard manufacturing technologies are improving the quality and performance of tapered-edged plasterboards, making them more cost-effective and efficient. Innovations in lightweight plasterboard options, as well as enhanced bonding agents and jointing compounds, are contributing to the market's growth. The increasing preference for DIY (do-it-yourself) construction projects, particularly in residential housing, is also driving the demand for tapered-edged plasterboards, as they offer ease of handling and installation for non-professional users. As a result, the tapered-edged segment is benefiting from both commercial and residential demand, positioning it as a key driver of growth in the broader plasterboard market.

Based on region, Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the Plasterboard Market, driven by rapid urbanization, booming construction activities, and increasing infrastructure development across major economies like China, India, and Southeast Asian nations. The region's expanding middle class and rising disposable incomes are spurring demand for residential and commercial properties, thereby increasing the need for plasterboard as a key construction material. Additionally, the growing focus on sustainable building practices and energy-efficient solutions in response to environmental concerns is further boosting market growth. Governments in Asia Pacific are increasingly adopting stringent building codes and standards, driving the demand for high-quality and innovative plasterboard products, such as fire-resistant, moisture-resistant, and soundproof variants. The region's infrastructure development, including large-scale residential projects, commercial buildings, and public sector developments, is creating a substantial demand for plasterboard in both new construction and renovation projects. Furthermore, with a shift toward modern architectural designs and interior aesthetics, plasterboard is becoming a preferred choice due to its versatility, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness. The rapid pace of urbanization, coupled with increasing investments in infrastructure and the construction sector, positions Asia Pacific as a key growth driver for the plasterboard market in the coming years.
