Market Overview

Report on Global Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum by DataM Intelligence estimates the market to grow at a CAGR 7.2%  during the forecast period 2024-2031. Demand from construction industry in European is booming. Competitive rivalry intensifies with Knauf Danoling A/S, Eagle Materials, USG Corporation and others operating in the market.

Glass fiber reinforced gypsum (GFRG) consists of high strength alkali-resistant glass fiber embedded in a matrix of gypsum. The gypsum matrix used in GFRG applications should be neutral in order to be compatible with glass fibers. GFRG products are widely preferred owing to their enhanced properties and advantages such as high strength, improved dimensional stability, impact resistance and durability. GFRG products are majorly used in the fabrication of decorative walls, decorative pillars, ceilings, and columns.
