The United Arab Emirates Plasterboard Market is projected to witness mixed growth rate patterns during 2025 to 2029. Commencing at 0.34% in 2025, growth builds up to 0.43% by 2029.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) plasterboard market has witnessed steady growth and development during the period from 2025 to 2031. Plasterboard, also known as drywall or gypsum board, is a widely used construction material for interior walls and ceilings. The market`s expansion can be attributed to factors such as the UAE booming construction and real estate sectors, increasing demand for cost-effective and efficient building materials, and the country`s focus on sustainable construction practices. Moreover, the versatility and ease of installation of plasterboard have further driven its adoption in various commercial and residential projects in the UAE.
Several key drivers have fueled the growth of the UAE plasterboard market. Firstly, the country`s thriving construction and real estate sectors, with numerous infrastructure and commercial projects, have led to a continuous demand for plasterboard in both new constructions and renovations. Secondly, the cost-effectiveness and speed of installation of plasterboard make it an attractive choice for construction projects, contributing to its widespread usage. Additionally, the UAE focus on sustainable building practices and the emphasis on energy-efficient construction materials have boosted the demand for eco-friendly plasterboard solutions.
Despite its growth prospects, the UAE plasterboard market faces certain challenges. Firstly, competition from alternative building materials, such as concrete and prefabricated panels, can impact the demand for plasterboard in certain applications. Secondly, fluctuations in raw material prices and availability can affect the manufacturing costs and pricing of plasterboard products. Moreover, the Covid-19 pandemic introduced disruptions in the construction industry and supply chain, affecting the production and distribution of plasterboard.
The Covid-19 pandemic, which emerged in 2025, had varying effects on different industries, including the UAE plasterboard market. The pandemic initially led to disruptions in construction activities and the closure of retail outlets, impacting the sales of plasterboard. However, as economic activities resumed and safety protocols were implemented, the market gradually recovered. The pandemic also reinforced the importance of sustainable construction materials and cost-effective solutions in the UAE construction industry.
The UAE plasterboard market comprises several key players who have played a significant role in meeting the growing demand for efficient and reliable building materials. Some of the key players in the market include Saint-Gobain Gyproc, Knauf Middle East, National Gypsum Company and USG Boral.
