Market Introduction

The North America synthetic gypsum market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. Synthetic gypsum is being used increasingly in the agriculture industry as it contains two essential nutrients—calcium and sulfur; thus, it acts as a fertilizer, especially in the treatment of alkaline soil, and improves the crop yield. It is also used as a soil amendment to improve its water retention capacity, permeability, water infiltration, drainage, aeration, and structure, among other physical properties. The synthetic gypsum is also being used in the treatment of alkaline soils. The type FGD gypsum provides other essential micronutrients to the plants, in addition to calcium and sulfur. It can also be used as a soil conditioner for improving the physical and the chemical properties of the soil by providing better aggregation, minimizing subsoil acidity and aluminum toxicity, and lowering the loss of soil and soluble phosphorus from agricultural fields. Thus, the abovementioned benefits have led to the rise in the use of synthetic gypsum in the agricultural industry.

In case of COVID-19, North America, especially the US, witnessed an unprecedented rise in number of coronavirus cases, which led to the discontinuation of synthetic gypsum manufacturing activities. Downfall in other chemical and materials manufacturing sector has subsequently impacted the demand for synthetic gypsum during the early months of 2020. Moreover, decline in the overall construction and agricultural materials manufacturing activities has led to the discontinuation of synthetic gypsum manufacturing projects, thereby reducing the demand for synthetic gypsum. Similar trend was witnessed in other North American countries such as Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Costa Rica. However, the countries are likely to overcome this drop in demand with the economic activities regaining their pace, especially in the beginning of 2021.

    Market Overview and Dynamics

    The synthetic gypsum market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 603.05 million in 2020 to US$ 790.97 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2020 to 2027. The companies which are manufacturing synthetic gypsums are always looking to innovate the products provided by them. The increase in the environmental awareness, concerns and the cost of raw materials has increased the efficient usage of natural reserves. Synthetic gypsum is one of the by-products wastes which is produced from the flue gas desulphurization (FGD) process in order to avoid industrial stack emission of SO2. The adsorption of SO2 through caustic lime produces a final product which is known as synthetic gypsum. Polyethylene is one of the most post-consumer plastics in the world and could be used instead of virgin polyethylene. Nowadays, recycled post-consumer plastics are used as binder and FGD waste was used as filler material for the aluminum composite panels in order to be environmentally friendly. The combination of recycled polyethylene and FGD gypsum are used as filler material for sandwich polymer-metal panels is due to economically and environmental concerns.  

    Key Market Segments

    Based on type, the FGD gypsum segment accounted for the largest share of the North America synthetic gypsum market in 2019. Based on application, the drywall segment held a larger market share of the North America synthetic gypsum market in 2019. Drywall is one of the most common form of finish wall sheathing. The drywall is basically made up of gypsum plaster which has been stuck between two thick layers of paper and provides a smooth finish to the wall. Synthetic gypsum was used by the manufacturing companies in order to save the cost, as well as because of the environmental benefits of the by-product. Natural gypsum is mostly obtained from the gypsum mines, whereas the synthetic gypsum will help the companies to save the limited resource as well as help them save energy by constructing a production plant beside a synthetic gypsum producing power plant. The different types of synthetic gypsum that are suitable for the manufacturing of the drywall includes flue gas desulfurization gypsum, citrogypsum, flurorgypsum and titanogypsum.
