Study Overview
Gypsum is a hydraulic binder made from gypsum, and therefore requires the exploitation of an upstream natural resource. Gypsum, once transformed into plaster paste, is mixed with water to obtain plaster in its final form. This is then marketed either to manufacturers or directly to craftsmen working on building sites. Gypsum products can be divided into two categories, depending on where they are produced:
plasterboard and plasterboard tiles, manufactured in factories and the leading products on the market ; plaster, staff and stucco, which are manufactured on site to meet personalized requirements (ornaments, moldings, etc.).

Plaster is a product that is still widely used, as it is made from natural materials and is therefore recyclable. In addition, gypsum is mined in an environmentally-friendly manner, so as not to deplete reserves or harm the environment. it should be noted that any exploitation of new gypsum deposits must be approved by the local authorities and the prefecture. Despite encouraging sales of €9.37 billion for plaster manufacturing and €8.03 billion for plastering, the gypsum market is likely to experience relatively weak growth dynamics in the coming years.this is due in particular to the continuing marked decline in the new-build market, and the gradual loss of momentum in the renovation market. The current challenge for gypsum producers is therefore to create innovative products that will open up new outlets for a market still largely dominated by basic products such as plasterboard and tiles.
