The global drywall market was valued at USD 48.85 Billion in 2025. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.20% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a value of USD 89.15 Billion by 2035. The market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the increasing demand for efficient, cost-effective construction materials across residential and commercial sectors.
The expansion of renovation activities, wherein both individuals and corporations seek to retrovert structures, has driven an increase in the demand for drywall. Government-funded programs targeted towards housing and building infrastructure, especially in the Latin America and Asia Pacific regions, serve to supplement the demand for roofing. Consumers wanting building materials which are more sustainable will favor the sustainable options for drywall products. This will integrate and align drywall materials more closely with the building and construction industry's transformation.
One of the primary drivers of the drywall market expansion is the growth of the residential sector. Rising construction activities globally, with added population, has helped motivated residential investments. For example, Canada’s Rapid Housing Initiative has allocated USD 4 billion for new affordable homes in 2024. Similar capital infusions are occurring in the commercial sector, with new office developments in Asia Pacific boosting drywall demand. This raw material demand stems in part from policies aimed towards enhancing the use of sustainable materials, as seen in Knauf’s investment in drywall block green manufacturing expansion in Germany in March 2025.

The increasing spending on renovation in both developed and developing countries is surging the demand for drywall products for creating new ceilings, walls, and partitions. Reportedly, homeowners in the United States spent around USD 463 billion on renovations in Q1 2024. With the rising renovation activities, the demand for specialised drywall types like fire-resistant, moisture-resistant, and soundproof drywall for use in specific applications is growing.
The introduction of stringent fire safety regulations and the growing awareness regarding fire risks in buildings is driving the drywall market development. In October 2024, the Maharashtra government introduced special fire safety regulations for buildings prone to man-made disasters. Such initiatives are driving the demand for fire-resistant drywall that is designed to slow the spread of fire and prevent extensive property damage.
Key players are increasingly leveraging technologies such as robotics and automation to streamline drywall installation and automate tasks such as drywall panel cutting, installation, and finishing to reduce labour costs while minimising errors. Moreover, the increasing deployment of technologies such as 3D printing to create customised drywall solutions with unique textures, shapes, and sizes to lower the need for complex cutting processes is anticipated to fuel the market in the coming years.
The global drywall market features a competitive landscape, with key players focusing on innovation, sustainability, and capacity expansions to strengthen their market presence. Companies are investing in eco-friendly drywall solutions, such as recycled-content products, to meet rising demand for sustainable construction materials.
Partnerships and technological advancements, like IoT-enabled manufacturing, are also key strategies, improving production efficiency and product quality. The market is driven by the global construction boom, particularly in Asia Pacific, and the increasing adoption of fire-resistant and mold-resistant drywall in safety-focused regions like the Middle East, fostering growth and innovation across the industry.
