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.

Drywall Market Outlook
*this image is indicative*
As drywalls can be painted or finished to mimic materials such as stone, wood, and brick, they are increasingly used to enhance the aesthetics of interiors and create unique spaces. Due to their versatile finish and design, drywall products are considered an attractive option for customers seeking to customise and personalise their spaces.
Growing concerns surrounding fire safety in the construction sector are shaping the drywall market dynamics. Fire-resistant drywalls engineered to resist fire and provide extra protection in case of a fire are gaining popularity. There is also a growing trend of integrating fire-resistant drywalls with fireproofing materials and sprinkler systems for comprehensive fire protection.
Advancements in technologies such as automation and robotics leading to the development of drywall installation robots that can reduce installation time and labour costs by efficiently hanging, cutting, and securing drywall sheets, especially in large-scale projects, are expected to lead to the drywall market development. In the forecast period, increasing research activities aimed at developing drywall products that boast enhanced durability and ease of maintenance are anticipated to fuel the market.

Rising demand for acoustical drywall solutions; increasing focus on sustainability; rising shift towards modular and prefabricated construction; and the development of smart drywall are favouring the drywall market expansion.
As better sound control in buildings, including offices, residential complexes, and entertainment venues, is increasingly gaining prominence, the demand for acoustical drywall solutions to enhance comfort and productivity by reducing noise transmission between rooms is rising.
Growing environmental concerns and the rising trend of sustainability are boosting the drywall market revenue. As traditional drywall repair materials contribute to landfill waste and require energy-intensive production processes, manufacturers are producing drywall products made from recycled content and adopting recycling programmes to ensure the responsible disposal of old drywall and debris to avoid landfill contributions.
With the emerging shift towards prefabricated and modular construction, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on prefabricated drywall systems that can be efficiently shipped, produced, and assembled in modular construction projects. Moreover, prefabricated drywalls are typically customised to fit the specific needs of the building design, intended use, and location, hence offering enhanced flexibility and reducing waste.
The development of smart drywalls incorporating advanced insulating materials and technologies such as IoT and smart sensors to improve the energy efficiency of buildings is aiding the market. Key players are also developing drywalls integrated with air-purifying technology to capture harmful pollutants and gases and enhance health standards within residential and commercial spaces.
Rapid urbanisation has escalated concerns surrounding noise pollution, driving the demand for acoustical drywalls that provide effective solutions for reducing noise between floors and rooms. Manufacturers are increasingly developing advanced acoustical drywalls with enhanced sound attenuation properties like fibreglass-enhanced panels, multi-layered drywall, and mass-loaded vinyl to reduce sound transmission.
With the growing trend of sustainability, manufacturers in the drywall market are seeking bio-based or mineral-based materials as alternatives to traditional gypsum. The rising focus on the circular economy is also prompting key players to explore ways to recycle drywall waste and ensure the proper recycling and disposal of drywall at the end of its life cycle.
