China Synthetic Gypsum Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 5.15% through 2030F

The increasing China Synthetic Gypsum market is driven by growing use of industrial waste as raw material, rising adoption in prefabricated and modular construction during the forecast period 2026-2030F.

According to TechSci Research report, “China Synthetic Gypsum Market – By Region, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, The China Synthetic Gypsum Market was valued at USD 150.78 Million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 205.63 Million by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.15% during the forecast period. Chinese FGD gypsum producers are steadily integrating with major cement and drywall groups, moving toward co-located (“plant-in-plant”) operations. Since 2022, at least five provincial joint ventures have been established wherein gypsum processing units sit adjacent to cement kilns or gypsum board factories. Co-location cuts transport costs by an estimated 40% and reduces moisture-related handling losses by 25%. It has also enabled just-in-time delivery, reducing inventory costs by 30% and shortening lead times from 10 days to under 48 hours. This supply chain streamlining creates stronger alignment between waste generation and end-use demand, ensuring rhythmic operations for both emission abatement and gypsum-based manufacturing.

Driven by demand for premium building materials and technical applications, manufacturers have developed high-purity synthetic gypsum grades suitable for moisture-resistant and fire-rated boards. Since 2023, premium Grade I gypsum accounts for ~45% of FGD output, up from 32% in 2020. These grades meet stricter performance parameters—such as moisture ≤10%, chloride <350 ppm, and compressive strength improvements of 12%—and support emerging product types like sensor embedded panels and aerogel core boards. Cement plants requiring finer grind (<30 μm D90) now increasingly specify such gypsum grades. These diversification efforts command a 15–20% price premium and unlock markets in green and smart building sectors.

Based on product type, Citrogypsum is the fastest growing segment in the China Synthetic Gypsum market during the forecast period due to China’s status as the world’s largest producer of citric acid, accounting for over 65% of global production, with major clusters located in provinces like Shandong, Henan, and Sichuan. The high availability of citrogypsum as a secondary industrial waste presents an opportunity for downstream utilization, especially in construction materials and agriculture. Citrogypsum typically contains high levels of calcium sulfate and offers lower impurity content compared to phosphogypsum, making it more suitable for sensitive applications such as specialty cement additives, high-performance plaster, and even soil conditioning in controlled agricultural environments. Due to its fine particle size and low heavy metal content, it requires less intensive purification, thereby reducing processing costs by an estimated 20–25% compared to other synthetic gypsum types.

With China emphasizing industrial waste recycling under its national “Zero Waste Cities” initiative, citrogypsum is increasingly being utilized in eco-construction materials and soil improvement projects. Additionally, the shift towards lightweight and green building materials has expanded demand for specialty gypsum boards and plaster formulations, areas where citrogypsum’s high whiteness and consistency are particularly advantageous. Cement manufacturers in regions with citric acid production facilities are also increasingly sourcing locally available citrogypsum to reduce logistics costs and carbon emissions. The segment’s expansion is further supported by technological advancements in blending and additive control, enabling better integration into automated production lines. As industries seek lower-cost, lower-impact raw materials, citrogypsum’s balance of availability, quality, and compatibility makes it the fastest-growing product type in China’s evolving synthetic gypsum market landscape.

Based on region, South Central China is the fastest growing region in the China Synthetic Gypsum Market during the forecast period owing to its dynamic industrial ecosystem, accelerating urban development, and expanding agricultural reform initiatives. The region includes economic powerhouses such as Hunan, Hubei, Henan, and Guangdong provinces, which collectively account for a significant portion of China’s manufacturing, energy, and construction output. These provinces have witnessed continuous investment in infrastructure, with multiple expressways, high-speed rail projects, and urban housing developments driving demand for cement, drywall, and plaster—key end-use sectors of synthetic gypsum. Moreover, this region hosts a considerable number of thermal power plants and chemical manufacturing facilities, including phosphoric acid and citric acid producers, which generate substantial quantities of synthetic gypsum—particularly FGD gypsum, phosphogypsum, and citrogypsum. In Hunan and Henan alone, annual FGD gypsum production exceeds 15 million tons, ensuring a steady and localized feedstock supply for gypsum processors and cement manufacturers.

The region also benefits from favorable logistics and interprovincial connectivity, supported by major rivers such as the Yangtze and major rail corridors, which lower the cost of synthetic gypsum distribution. Additionally, South Central China’s vast agricultural base is increasingly utilizing gypsum products to address soil acidity and fertility issues, particularly in red soil zones. This is creating new demand for granular and powdered forms of citrogypsum and phosphogypsum for soil amendment applications. Government policy support has also played a role, with local governments promoting industrial symbiosis and material recycling under China’s “dual carbon” goals. Investments in new gypsum board plants and eco-construction parks are creating capacity for large-scale downstream consumption. The confluence of raw material availability, industrial demand, infrastructure growth, and environmental alignment positions South Central China as the fastest growing region in the China synthetic gypsum market.
