World Drywall & Building Plaster

As Quoted In The Wall Street Journal

Following recent severe losses between 2008 and 2011, drywall demand is expected to rebound sharply in North America and Western Europe with improvements in the East European market as well.

Drywall demand to rise 8.6% yearly through 2016

Worldwide sales of drywall are forecast to expand 8.6 percent per annum through 2016 to 10.7 billion square meters, a massive improvement over the 2006-2011 pace. Following recent severe losses between 2008 and 2011, drywall demand is expected to rebound sharply in North America and Western Europe. The East European market will also improve. While advances in the Africa/Mideast region, Asia/Pacific region, and Central and South America are projected to decelerate slightly through 2016, each of these regions is still expected to record impressive growth.

China, US to dominate new drywall demand

Nearly 70 percent of additional drywall demand generated between 2011 and 2016 will be attributable to China and the US. Product sales in the US are projected to grow over 12 percent per year during this period. After declining sharply between 2006 and 2011, the amount of new residential floor space in the country is expected to increase at a double-digit pace. Rapid nonresidential building construction spending gains are also expected to stimulate growth in the US market. In China, demand for drywall is forecast to grow nearly 12 percent per year through 2016 because of large increases in residential and nonresidential construction activity. Drywall will also be used more frequently in residential applications in China, as these products become more popular.

Numerous industrializing countries are also projected to register robust growth between 2011 and 2016, including India, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Thailand, and Turkey. Increasing demand for urban housing will drive residential building construction spending and related drywall sales. Consumption in these countries will also grow because of advances in office and commercial construction activity. Going forward, local construction firms will increase their use of modern building materials (such as drywall) at the expense of other products (such as building plaster).

Building plaster demand to rise 5.8% annually

Global building plaster demand is forecast to rise 5.8 percent per year to more than 37 million metric tons in 2016. While this pace is an improvement over the 2006-2011 rate, the building plaster segment will record slower growth than the drywall segment. Construction firms in many countries will gradually increase their use of drywall-based building construction techniques through 2016, at the expense of wet construction methods, which employ more building plaster per unit. A portion of these losses will be offset by the increased use of joint compounds during the drywall installation process.

Study Scope

This study analyzes the world drywall and building plaster industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2001, 2006 and 2011, and forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by product (drywall, building plaster), market (residential, nonresidential), world region and for 23 major countries.

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 26 industry participants, including Saint-Gobain, Knauf and Etex.
