The Europe FGD gypsum market was valued at US$ 280.75 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 359.29 million by 2030; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2022 to 2030.
Product Innovation Pertaining FGD Gypsum fuel the Europe FGD Gypsum Market
Manufacturers are increasingly focused on research and development activities to develop FGD gypsum. The usage of synthetic gypsum in the construction industry is growing due to the rising demand for environment-friendly structures and construction activities. FGD gypsum is highly utilized in sustainable building materials. Therefore, manufacturers innovate and produce FGD gypsum for green building applications such as low-carbon cement, eco-friendly drywall, and recycled gypsum-based products. These innovations further align with sustainability goals by reducing the environmental impacts of construction materials. Researchers across the region are developing high-strength and durable FGD-gypsum-based products, which involve advanced processing techniques and modification of composition to enhance mechanical properties. In 2022, the European Commission recorded the demonstration plant to process FGD gypsum into anhydrite. The project aims to produce high-quality, value-added products from FGD gypsum, characterized by low energy consumption, great environmental amenity, and ease of operation. The rising focus of several organizations to develop efficient FGD gypsum and value-added products is expected to drive the FGD gypsum for drywall market during the forecast period.
Europe FGD Gypsum Market Overview
Europe is a prominent region encompassing potential economies such as Germany, Italy, Denmark, Poland, and rest of Europe contributing a significant share for the growth of the FGD gypsum market. According to Eurogypsum, the European Federation representing the gypsum product manufacturing industry, the annual turnover for the European gypsum and anhydrite industry accounted for more than US$ 9.3 billion and is projected to grow significantly during the forecast period. Europe is one of the largest producers of gypsum and other construction materials, operated by small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) that supply gypsum to local and regional markets. However, according to the Climate Action Network (Europe), 50% of Europe's coal power plants have closed or pledged to shut down before 2030. Phasing out of coal-power plants can significantly impact the production capacity of FGD gypsum in the region.
