This Synthetic Gypsum report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The synthetic gypsum market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.68 billion in 2024 to $1.78 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to environmental regulations, coal combustion byproducts, construction industry growth, waste reduction, cost efficiency.

The synthetic gypsum market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.39 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainability goals, infrastructure development, agricultural applications, recycling initiatives, rising energy production. Major trends in the forecast period include green building materials, agricultural soil amendment, advanced desulfurization technologies, coal combustion byproduct utilization, alternative cement binders.

The growing trend of home remodeling and renovations is expected to drive the expansion of the synthetic gypsum market. Home remodeling involves updating or enhancing residential spaces to improve functionality, aesthetics, and overall value. This trend is largely fueled by homeowners' desire for personalized living environments and the rising real estate prices, making renovations a more cost-effective option compared to relocating. Synthetic gypsum is favored for its moldability and smooth finish, making it ideal for decorative applications such as architectural moldings, ceiling designs, wall panels, and ornamental features. For example, in January 2023, the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, a US-based research center, projected that national spending on remodeling and repairs for owner-occupied homes would reach $485 billion in 2023, reflecting a 2.6% increase from the previous year. Thus, the increasing interest in home remodeling and renovations is fueling the growth of the synthetic gypsum market.

The ongoing expansion of the construction sector is anticipated to drive the continued growth of the synthetic gypsum market. The construction industry, encompassing diverse activities related to planning, design, and development, is a key consumer of synthetic gypsum due to its environmental sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for construction materials. Synthetic gypsum serves as an eco-friendly alternative to natural gypsum, aligning with the construction industry's commitment to sustainable practices. In February, the United States Census Bureau reported a seasonally adjusted yearly basis increase of 13.8% in the number of privately owned housing units approved by building permits, reaching 1,524,000 units compared to the corrected January rate of 1,339,000. This underlines the driving force of the construction sector in boosting the synthetic gypsum market.

The increasing adoption of Flue-Gas Desulfurization (FGD) technology emerges as a noteworthy trend in the synthetic gypsum market. FGD technology, employed to remove sulphur compounds from fossil fuel power plant emissions, contributes to heightened synthetic gypsum production. Notably, Mitsubishi Power is a global supplier of FGD plants that employ wet limestone-gypsum and seawater FGD processes, preventing air pollution. In India, plans are underway to implement FGD systems in numerous coal-based thermal power plants by 2022.

Major players in the synthetic gypsum market are actively innovating advanced products to enhance their market profitability. Advanced gypsum materials, denoting innovative and high-performance gypsum forms, offer improved properties for diverse applications. For example, in 2021, the National Gypsum Company introduced PURPLE, a moisture-resistant drywall gypsum board packaged in plastic. PURPLE is GREENGUARD GOLD certified for indoor air quality, boasting resistance to moisture, mold, and mildew. The product, featuring spore guard technology, underwent several ASTM tests and earned the highest possible mold score. Leading companies in the synthetic gypsum market are working to expand their operations to boost production capabilities and address increasing demand. For example, in May 2024, EuroChem, a Switzerland-based producer of fertilizers and other chemical products, initiated Phase III of its Kazakhstan chemical complex project, which includes a plastic packaging solution. This phase of the project will produce synthetic gypsum and calcium chloride as byproducts. These byproducts are intended for use in construction materials and as reagents in sectors such as road construction, coal, and hydrocarbons.

In July 2023, Charah Solutions, Inc., a US-based leading provider of environmental and maintenance services for the power generation industry, focused on managing coal ash and other byproducts, announced its acquisition of Capital Partners (SER) for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Charah's position in delivering sustainable environmental services, including coal ash management and remediation. The partnership aligns with SER's commitment to sustainability-driven investments and supports Charah's efforts to expand its service offerings while advancing its mission to provide innovative environmental solutions in the power generation sector.

Synthetic gypsum, a byproduct of various industrial processes, primarily consists of calcium sulfate dihydrate. It finds significant applications in the construction and agricultural sectors, particularly in cement production, soil conditioning, and other related uses.

The main categories of synthetic gypsum include Citrogypsum, Fluorogypsum, Phosphogypsum, and Titanogypsum. Citrogypsum is acquired as a byproduct in the manufacturing of citric acid. Fluorogypsum, on the other hand, is a byproduct of hydrofluoric acid manufacturing. Phosphogypsum is generated as a byproduct during phosphoric acid manufacturing, and Titanogypsum is a byproduct of titanium dioxide acid manufacturing. These various types of synthetic gypsum primarily serve the chemical and agriculture industries.
