Abstract
Global drywall demand to expand 4.5% annually through 2012
World demand for drywall (also known as plasterboard or wallboard) is forecast to expand 4.5 percent per year through 2012 to 9.7 billion square meters. Gains will vary greatly by region, depending on a host of factors such as building construction spending and economic growth prospects, as well as trends in local construction techniques. Gypsum-based building plaster sales will rise 5.2 percent per annum through 2012 to 35 million metric tons. In most developed countries (with some exceptions in Western Europe), drywall represents by far the dominant market for gypsum. In developing countries, however, the dominant use for gypsum is as a cement additive. On a value basis, drywall is of far greater significance than gypsum-based building plasters at the global level.
Study coverage
It presents historical demand data for the years 1997, 2002 and 2007 as well as forecasts for 2012 and 2017 by type, world region and 14 major countries. The study also considers market environment factors, evaluates company market shares and profiles 22 competitors worldwide.
