The Asia Pacific gypsum board market size was estimated at USD 18.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.0% from 2024 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to the rapid urbanization and industrialization in the region, leading to an increased demand for residential and commercial construction. Furthermore, the growing awareness about the benefits of gypsum board, such as its durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness, has also contributed to its rising popularity. In addition, government initiatives promoting sustainable construction materials have further propelled market expansion.
The Asia Pacific gypsum board market accounted for a share of 32.9% of the global gypsum board market revenue in 2023. Regulation significantly shapes the gypsum board market in the APAC region, with various countries implementing specific laws and standards to ensure quality, safety, and environmental compliance. For instance, China has strict regulations under the GB/T 9775 standard, which sets comprehensive criteria for the physical and mechanical properties of gypsum boards, influencing manufacturers to enhance product quality. Similarly, India's Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) prescribes IS 2095 standards, mandating specific requirements for different types of gypsum boards, thus ensuring uniformity and safety across the market. In Japan, the Building Standards Law imposes stringent fire-resistance requirements on construction materials, including gypsum boards, to enhance building safety in earthquake-prone regions. In addition, Australia's National Construction Code (NCC) incorporates regulations that promote the use of eco-friendly and sustainable materials, pushing the gypsum board market towards greener production practices.
The wallboard segment held a share of 51.3% in 2023. Wallboards are commonly used in the construction of ceilings & interior walls. The dominance is attributed to the widespread use of wallboard in both residential and commercial construction due to its ease of installation, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability to various aesthetic finishes. Furthermore, the demand for wallboard is driven by its inherent properties, such as fire resistance, sound insulation, and durability.
The pre-decorated board segment is projected to witness the fastest CAGR of 14.9% from 2024 to 2030. Pre-decorated boards save time and reduce labor costs. This convenience factor, along with the growing demand for aesthetically pleasing interiors, is driving the segment growth. In addition, the increasing trend of sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials is expected to boost the demand for pre-decorated boards, as these boards often incorporate recycled materials and contribute to green building certifications.
The residential segment accounted for the largest share of 47.0% in 2023. This dominance can be attributed to the extensive use of gypsum boards in the construction of new homes and the renovation of existing ones. Gypsum boards are favoured in residential construction due to their versatility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of installation. They are used in walls, ceilings, and partition systems, providing aesthetic appeal, sound insulation, and fire resistance. The increasing population and rapid urbanization in the region, coupled with government initiatives promoting affordable housing, are expected to drive product demand in the residential sector.
The institutional segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.3% from 2024 to 2030. Institutional buildings include schools, hospitals, government buildings, and other public facilities. The growth in this segment can be attributed to the increasing investments in public infrastructure development in the Asia Pacific region. Gypsum boards are widely used in these buildings due to their durability, fire resistance, and acoustic properties. Furthermore, rising popularity of green building practices in institutional construction is expected to boost the demand for sustainable gypsum board products. As such, the institutional segment is poised for significant growth in the coming years.
The China gypsum board market held a share of 54.6% of the total regional market revenue in 2023. This dominance can be attributed to the country's rapid urbanization and industrialization, which has led to a surge in construction activities. The Chinese government's initiatives to promote affordable housing and sustainable construction practices have further boosted the demand for gypsum boards. In addition, China is home to several key gypsum board manufacturers, contributing to the country's significant market share. The ongoing development of mega projects and smart cities in China is expected to continue driving the demand for gypsum boards in the country.
The gypsum board market in India is projected to witness the fastest CAGR of 14.6% from 2024 to 2030. The growth in India's gypsum board market can be attributed to the country's booming construction industry, driven by increasing investments in residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. The Indian government's initiatives to promote affordable housing and sustainable construction have also contributed to the rising demand for gypsum boards. Furthermore, the growing awareness about the benefits of gypsum boards over traditional construction materials is expected to boost market growth in India. As such, India presents significant growth opportunities for gypsum board manufacturers in the coming years. In December 2023, Government of India imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on gypsum board and tiles from China for five years. The duty will range from USD 23.46-47.62 per tonne for Chinese imports, and USD 71.80-91.42 per metric tonne for imports from Oman.
