Synthetic Gypsum Market is expected to Grow with a CAGR of 6.52% through 2030
Rising demand for
eco-friendly construction materials, increasing use of synthetic gypsum in
cement and drywall production, and growing emphasis on industrial byproduct
utilization are key drivers propelling the Synthetic Gypsum Market.
According to TechSci Research
report, “Synthetic Gypsum Market – Global Industry Size, Share,
Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Synthetic Gypsum Market was valued at USD 4.67 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 6.88 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.52%. The Synthetic Gypsum Market is experiencing
significant growth driven by the rising demand for sustainable and
cost-effective construction materials. One of the primary market drivers is the
increasing adoption of synthetic gypsum as an environmentally friendly alternative
to natural gypsum, particularly in the production of drywall, cement, and
plaster products. As governments and industries worldwide emphasize reducing
carbon footprints and promoting circular economy practices, the use of
synthetic gypsum—largely derived from industrial byproducts such as flue-gas
desulfurization (FGD) from coal-fired power plants—offers a sustainable
solution by diverting waste from landfills and minimizing the need for natural
resource extraction.
Furthermore, the construction
industry's strong growth, especially in developing regions like Asia Pacific,
Latin America, and the Middle East, is generating substantial demand for
affordable and reliable building materials, where synthetic gypsum serves as a
viable substitute due to its consistent quality and lower production costs. The
material's excellent performance characteristics, including superior strength,
workability, and moisture resistance, also enhance its appeal across various
applications in the building and infrastructure sectors. In addition, the
growing emphasis on green building certifications and environmentally
responsible construction practices is propelling manufacturers and developers
to shift toward synthetic materials that comply with LEED and other sustainable
building standards.
The cement industry, a major
end-user of synthetic gypsum, benefits from its ability to control the setting
time of cement and improve overall strength and durability, further
contributing to market expansion. Moreover, advancements in synthetic gypsum processing
technologies and increased investments in power plant desulfurization
infrastructure are supporting steady and scalable production, ensuring a
reliable supply chain. The increasing retirement of coal-fired power plants in
some regions has also led to innovation in sourcing synthetic gypsum from
alternative industrial processes, enhancing market resilience.

Based on the Application, Drywall
segment held the largest Market share in 2024. The Drywall segment serves as a
major driver for the growth of the Synthetic Gypsum Market due to its
increasing adoption in the global construction industry, particularly in
residential, commercial, and institutional buildings. As demand for cost-effective,
durable, and environmentally friendly building materials rises, synthetic
gypsum has emerged as a preferred raw material in drywall production. Unlike
natural gypsum, synthetic gypsum—primarily a byproduct of flue gas
desulfurization (FGD) in coal-fired power plants—offers consistent quality,
improved workability, and reduced environmental impact, aligning well with
modern sustainability and circular economy goals.
With growing awareness of
environmental regulations and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
construction companies are increasingly shifting toward greener alternatives,
and drywall made from synthetic gypsum meets these criteria by recycling industrial
byproducts. Furthermore, rapid urbanization and infrastructure development in
emerging economies are significantly boosting new construction activities,
driving the demand for drywall and, in turn, synthetic gypsum. The trend toward
lightweight construction materials to reduce structural load and enhance
installation efficiency also supports the use of drywall panels made with
synthetic gypsum.
Additionally, the rise in
renovation and remodeling projects in developed markets has sustained demand
for drywall due to its ease of use, low cost, and superior aesthetic appeal.
Technological advancements in synthetic gypsum processing have further enhanced
its suitability for drywall applications, improving strength, fire resistance,
and acoustic properties of the end product. The availability of synthetic
gypsum in large quantities and its cost advantage over natural gypsum are also
encouraging drywall manufacturers to prefer it as a primary input material. As
governments and environmental agencies worldwide continue to impose strict
regulations on landfill disposal and promote industrial waste reutilization,
synthetic gypsum offers a compelling solution that not only addresses
environmental concerns but also reduces raw material procurement costs for
manufacturers.
Moreover, the growing
construction of green buildings and LEED-certified projects is propelling the
use of recycled materials like synthetic gypsum in drywall production. The
market is also being supported by strong demand from the commercial real estate
sector, including offices, retail spaces, and educational institutions, where
drywall panels are extensively used for interior wall systems, ceilings, and
partitions. Additionally, advancements in pre-fabrication and modular
construction technologies are accelerating the deployment of drywall systems,
further increasing the consumption of synthetic gypsum.
Based on region, Asia Pacific
is the fastest-growing region in the Synthetic Gypsum Market, driven by rapid
industrialization, expanding construction activities, and increased adoption of
sustainable building materials across countries such as China, India, and
Southeast Asian nations. The region’s growing cement and drywall manufacturing
sectors are key consumers of synthetic gypsum, supported by government
initiatives promoting infrastructure development and environmental
sustainability. Additionally, the availability of coal-fired power plants,
which are major sources of flue gas desulfurization gypsum, enhances regional
supply. Rising awareness of eco-friendly construction practices and
cost-effective raw materials further positions Asia Pacific as a major growth
hub for synthetic gypsum.
