WOOD-FIBER GYPSUM BOARD MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Wood-Fiber Gypsum Board Market was valued at USD 44.93 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 49.28 billion in 2025, steadily progressing to USD 103.2 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 9.68% from 2025 to 2033.

Gypsum board that uses wood fibers as reinforcement is called wood-fiber gypsum board. The gypsum core contains wood fibers that have been embedded before being covered in a facing. When compared to conventional gypsum board products, Wood-Fiber Gypsum Board has superior fire resistance, sound insulation, and moisture resistance properties. It has a variety of part types, such as 6mm and 10mm parts, among others. The portion of gypsum board that has been through a thickness planer and whose nominal dimensions are less than 6 mm is classified as being below 6 mm.

Depending on the size it serves in different end-use industries, it is also known as mini-gypsum or micro-gypsum. Gypsum board used in walls and ceilings has a thickness of 6 to 10 mm and is made of wood fiber. Gypsum board, a type of fireproof wallboard, is 12–16 mm thick. It is constructed from gypsum, paper, and wood fiber. Building interior walls and ceilings are lined with it. Gypsum boards measuring 16 mm are employed for a variety of projects, including ceilings and walls. They are fire resistant and provide better insulation than ordinary gypsum boards.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Industry Shutdown Causes Market Distortion

The COVID-19 outbreak caused unstable markets, a drop in consumer confidence, and problems with import and export commerce for producers of building & construction. Markets were shuttered as a result of the lockdown, and many people stayed inside. Supply chain breaches, stock market inefficiencies, and vendor instability are results of this evolution. The market as a whole was impacted by the shutdown of the industry. Because there was no longer a market for the product, appearance boards became obsolete as those markets closed. In order to maintain stability amidst the disruptions, organizations were forced to redesign their entire operational structures as a result of the pandemic. The financial imbalance brought on by the closure of numerous stores and significant sectors was the primary factor that distorted the entire market. In addition, the outbreak has a negative impact on the business operations of the enterprises, which affects the market as a whole. The wood-fiber gypsum board industry has been somewhat impacted by this.

LATEST TRENDS

Building & Construction to Boost the Market Growth

Building and construction are the main trends driving the market. Building and construction will continue to lead the fiberboard market for at least the next ten years. Building and construction have attracted a lot of attention since the advent of rampant urbanization, particularly in APAC regions that are predicted to continue to be the most lucrative market for this fiberboard product. The rapid increase in single-person households is the primary cause of this overwhelming call. Another significant driver of the fiberboard market's growth is probably the exponential increase in new residential and commercial construction projects. Applications for roofing and renovations involving flooring and paneling are anticipated to support the growth range of wood-fiber gypsum board. The global market will benefit from these factors. Thus, a key trend that is opening up potential for the industry to grow is the product use in building and construction. These new developments are mostly to blame for the market's overall growth.

DRIVING FACTORS

Sustainability in Construction that Gives the Market Extra Boost

Sustainability in construction is the main factor spurring the market's expansion. The demand for wood products like plywood, MDF, and particle boards has increased as a result of the support from numerous governments around the world to improve the sustainability of the construction industry. In the near future, it's anticipated that product usage will increase demand for these wood-based goods. Due to its use as a sustainable material, the use of this type of wood-fiber gypsum board is increasing. Given that it is made of wood, it has become a popular material among consumers who support the green building movement. Furthermore, due to the accessibility of the main raw materials, wood and adhesives, the material is gaining considerable momentum in developing economies in Asia and Latin America. However, because this type of board is less expensive than plywood and performs similarly, the demand is anticipated to increase significantly in these developing economies over the course of the forecast period. As a result, the growth, and the increasing sustainability in construction will boost the market. It will contribute to the expansion of the building and construction industry and it will improve the overall wood-fiber gypsum board market growth.

Increasing Adoption of Wood Flooring to Encourage Market Expansion

The demand for housing and public infrastructure has been fueled by the growing population, and this is anticipated to help the market soon. People's increased purchasing power will increase demand for goods that enhance the aesthetics of living spaces. The demand for wood flooring has increased as a result of the growing emphasis on the construction of smart homes and aesthetically pleasing interiors. But for wood flooring to easily support its weight, the subsurface must be even, smooth, and strong. The weight and impact distribution of wood-fiber gypsum board, which doesn't contain knots or rings, is much better than that of other wood subsurface like particleboards and plywood. Additionally, the subsurface must be affordable, which is the main factor in the product's position as the best alternative among rivals. As a result, these factors are collectively promoting market expansion, increasing company revenues. As a result, above mentioned factors will help the market to boost.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Unsuitability of Product to Impede Market Expansion

Gypsum board's unsuitability for exterior walls due to its susceptibility to moisture, particularly continuous moisture exposure, is a factor impeding the market's growth. Their installation on curved surfaces is not recommended. Bends will weaken the structure and result in cracks. This factor is impeding market expansion. This may be a significant issue limiting market expansion. If this problem is fixed, the market will start to grow right away.
