Increased emphasis on environmentally friendly construction techniques is stimulating the market demand for gypsum boards. Moreover, the growing environmental and health consciousness has prompted producers to create advanced gypsum boards with multifunctional properties. Concurrent with this, modern architecture improves interior air quality by lowering contaminants like formaldehyde. Additionally, commercial and residential environments are witnessing an increase in demand for materials that combine sustainability, durability, functionality, etc. For instance, Jayaboard introduced Jayaboard SHEETROCK PROTECH in May 2023, the first air-purifying gypsum board intended to lower formaldehyde and enhance indoor air quality. This development aligns with the country's 2045 health goals and showcases the industry's shift toward environmentally responsible solutions. Similarly, in 2023, Knauf introduced Stratopanel, a perforated plasterboard incorporating CLEANEO Technology, which enhances air purification and noise absorption with an NRC of 0.80. Featuring sustainable materials and a seamless edge profile, it is tailored for commercial spaces, balancing aesthetics and improved indoor conditions.

Furthermore, the expansion of regional product portfolios is a key driver in the gypsum board market, as companies aim to address specific climatic and functional requirements. For example, Saint-Gobain Gyproc India expanded their line of gypsum board in December 2023 by introducing a number of cutting-edge products, including "Habito Standard" for heavy-duty applications, "Rigiroc" for moisture resistance, and "Glasroc X" for outdoor use. These boards were accompanied by new possibilities for ceiling tiles that were aimed at markets in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, and the Maldives. These goods demonstrate how the industry has responded to the growing need for adaptable solutions that improve structural performance and meet regional building requirements. Aligned with advancements, the market is anticipated to grow steadily due to increased consumer awareness, technical improvements, and the worldwide need for environmentally friendly building equipment.
