Analyzing the North American Gypsum Market
Gypsum is a very soft mineral comprising of calcium sulfate dihydrate. The United States is a world leader in gypsum production, second only to China. Gypsum products in the US are expected to rise by nearly three percent annually through 2013, based mainly on a recovery in the US new housing sector. Regular gypsum board, water-resistant board, veneer board and mobile home board are expected to benefit the most from this housing turnaround.
Gypsum is also used in the manufacturing of concrete and as a soil conditioner, but its principal use is for the manufacturing of wallboard used as internal cladding for residential, commercial and institutional buildings. Demand, therefore, heavily depends on investment into the downstream building and construction markets, which has been severely curtailed of late. About 75% of the gypsum used in the United States is in wallboard, and 40% of wallboard products are used in new residential construction.
Some types of synthetic gypsum are generally considered unsuitable for use in gypsum board due to potential environmental hazards, for example, phosphogypsum may contain radon and radio nuclides. By using synthetic gypsum in its manufacturing process, the gypsum industry contributes to a cleaner environment in at least two ways. The majority of synthetic gypsum used by the industry is generated to keep the air clean and it is also an otherwise useless material that would take up valuable space in landfills if not used in the manufacturing of wallboard.
Major competitors in the industry are USG Corporation, NGC Inc., Koch Industries Inc., and Eagle Materials Inc. An estimated 218 plants engaged in the manufacturing of plaster, plasterboard, and other gypsum products in 2010.
Aruvians Rsearch analyzes the North American gypsum market in its research report Analyzing the North American Gypsum Market. The report is a complete coverage of the gypsum industry in North America.
