Market Insights

“The GFRG (glass fiber reinforced gypsum) market size was US$ 11.8 Billion in 2023 and is likely to grow at an impressive CAGR of 8.7 % in the long run to reach US$ 25.2 Billion in 2032”.

Market Dynamics

Introduction

GFRG stands for Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum A material used for construction and formed by mixing gypsum with glass fibers for improved strength, durability, and elasticity. They are commonly employed in solutions such as wall cladding, ceiling, and design accents in buildings including light weight and fire resistance. GFRG has better properties than normal gypsum with enhanced features of crack resistance, moisture, and impact thus suitable for all types of constructions i.e. residential and commercial. Besides, the material can also be cast in more intricate forms, thus acting as a suitable product in today’s architectural structures.

Looking at the factors, it is evident that the most significant factors that give the market for Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) continuous growth are due to the ever-growing demand for lightweight, durable, and fireproof construction accessories. The performance characteristics of GFRG include strength-to-weight ratio, moisture resistance and ease of construction explains why it is ideally suited for incorporation into modern architectural designs. The increasing concern about sustainable construction practices is also a factor in its adoption since GFRG is more environmentally friendly than conventional building materials. Other factors include the increasing need for rapid construction timelines and increasing applicability of cost-effective solutions especially both in residential and business structures for the market in question.

Recent Market JV and Acquisition:

  • April 2024- British Gypsum Company, a member of the global organization, Saint-Gobain, declared its transition from cube pallets to the circular pallet reuse system toward working out its environmental goals and cutting its emissions.
