Gypsum world news

According to analysts, the global production of gypsum and drywall has been growing rapidly over the past three years. The main advantage of drywall as a building material is convenience, strength and cheapness. The first place in production on the world gypsum market is held by China, which currently produces a third of the world's total volume. It is followed by Iran, where gypsum production increased by 1,000 thousand cubic meters according to the 2012 estimate. This is followed by Spain, Thailand and the United States. In the top ten world producers by volume, Russia ranks ninth.

Analysts predict that demand for these products in residential construction will continue to grow at a high rate until at least 2016. China and the United States account for 70% of the expected demand. Despite the rapid development of the gypsum market in these two countries, the world's largest drywall manufacturers are European companies: Knauf (Germany), British Plaster Boards (Great Britain) and Lagarge Group (Poland).

In Russia, the volume of drywall production has more than tripled over the past seven years. The leader of production is the German company Knauf, which has 10 factories in our country and occupies almost 75% of the total market for the production of this type of product in the Russian Federation. One of the largest enterprises is a plant in Novomoskovsk, Tula region, equipped with modern equipment. Local gypsum reserves are the largest in Europe and the world, and since the mid-90s they have been leased to foreign investors for 50 years.
