Lime and Gypsum Products Market Report 2026

The lime and gypsum products market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $54.06 billion in 2025 to $56.14 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased construction activities globally, rising demand for building materials, growth of industrial lime applications, adoption of gypsum boards in construction, expansion of agricultural lime usage.

The lime and gypsum products market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $67.35 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for sustainable and eco-friendly building materials, increasing use of lime and gypsum in wastewater treatment, growth in food-grade and pharmaceutical applications, expansion of plaster of paris and gypsum blocks usage, increasing adoption of advanced production technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of lime and gypsum products in construction, increasing use of quicklime and hydrated lime in industrial processes, growth of gypsum boards and plaster applications, expansion of agricultural and wastewater treatment usage, rising demand for food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade products.

The expansion of the construction industry is anticipated to be a key driver for the lime and gypsum products market. Lime plays a crucial role in construction by stabilizing soil for various infrastructure projects like roads, airfields, and building foundations. Additionally, gypsum is essential for manufacturing wallboards used in residential and commercial construction. According to the Future of Construction 2030 report by Oxford Economics, a UK-based economic advisory firm, a significant investment of $135 trillion is projected to be made in global construction projects by 2030. This substantial expenditure in the construction sector is set to boost growth, resulting in increased demand for lime and gypsum products, ultimately driving the market's expansion.

Automated manufacturing systems are becoming increasingly popular as they boost manufacturing productivity and reduce operational costs. Automation systems refer to machines, tools, or technologies, such as robotics and AI, designed to minimize human intervention and enhance safety in metal manufacturing processes like processing, assembling, and material handling. These systems enable metal manufacturing companies to improve efficiency and production, enhance workplace safety, elevate product quality, execute complex and diverse tasks, stabilize processes, offer flexibility in product manufacturing, and eliminate routine manual tasks. For example, in April 2024, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based automation machinery manufacturing organization, reported that sales in the automotive sector grew by 1% in 2023, reaching a record high of 14,678 robot installations, following a remarkable 47% increase in 2022, which saw installations rise to 14,472 units.

Major companies operating in the lime and gypsum products market are emphasizing the development of sustainable building materials, including recycled, low-carbon, and carbon-sequestering plasterboards, to minimize environmental impact, promote circularity, and support low-carbon construction methods. Recycled and carbon-negative plasterboards are wallboards produced using reclaimed gypsum, lime-based binders, or bio-based feedstocks that permanently capture CO₂ while retaining the performance and mechanical properties of traditional gypsum boards. For example, in April 2025, Etex Group S.A., a Europe-based building materials manufacturer, created the first plasterboard composed entirely of 100% recycled gypsum, allowing construction waste to be reused while decreasing dependence on virgin materials.
