The performance of drywall can be modified according to specific requirements, such as fire resistance, moisture resistance, and impact resistance. The cladding that gives the frame various properties, such as in bathrooms and kitchens, depends on various additives added to the finished gypsum board.
Depending on the application, drywall offers different panel sizes and thicknesses. Drywall is used to create partitions and siding, including indoor ceilings, floors, and walls supports the plaster of Paris between the thick slabs. It is used to maintain the building's resistance to fire, fungus, and other conditions.
One of the main driving forces for the growth of the gypsum board market is the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, and the customer base uses durable and resistant materials for construction.
The Covid-19 pandemic affected the demand and supply of global plasterboard market. Lockdown across the globe, supply chain disorders, and oscillating supply of raw materials forced manufacturers to shut down production leading to unfortunate decline in market growth. Launch of vaccines to combat the Covid-19 pandemic is expected to contribute to the market growth over the forecast period.
