Gypsum Board Suspended Ceilings Market Report 2025

The gypsum board suspended ceilings market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.34 billion in 2024 to $7.86 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. Growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing urbanization in emerging economies, greater adoption of green building materials, a rising emphasis on lightweight construction materials, growing demand for moisture-resistant ceiling solutions, and increased government investment in infrastructure development.

The gypsum board suspended ceilings market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.18 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. Forecast-period growth is expected to be driven by expanding residential construction activities, rising commercial infrastructure projects, increasing demand for soundproof interiors, growth in renovation and remodeling efforts, and heightened awareness of fire safety regulations. Key trends anticipated for the forecast period include technological advancements in lightweight gypsum boards, the integration of acoustic technologies, improvements in fire-resistant formulations, the development of moisture- and mold-resistant gypsum boards, and precision cutting and shaping enabled by advanced technologies.

The rise in residential construction is expected to drive the growth of the gypsum board suspended ceilings market in the coming years. Residential construction involves building or renovating structures designed for habitation, such as houses, apartments, and condominiums. This increase is attributed to rapid urbanization, as expanding urban populations create greater demand for new housing infrastructure. The growth in residential construction fuels demand for gypsum board suspended ceilings by enabling quick and efficient ceiling installations while enhancing interior aesthetics and overall construction productivity. For example, in May 2025, the U.S. Census Bureau, a US government agency, reported that privately owned housing completions reached 1,526,000, up from 1,514,000 in May 2024. Thus, the increasing residential construction activity is expected to propel the gypsum board suspended ceilings market.

Expanding investments in infrastructure are anticipated to boost the gypsum board suspended ceilings market. Infrastructure investment refers to funding allocated for the development and upgrade of vital physical facilities such as buildings, transportation systems, utilities, and industrial sites. These investments are rising due to rapid urbanization, with growing urban populations increasing the demand for industrial facilities, utilities, and transport networks. Such investments encourage the use of gypsum board suspended ceilings in large-scale construction projects by facilitating quick installation and offering modern interior finishes that improve building efficiency and design quality. For instance, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK government department, stated that total general government infrastructure investment reached $17.25 billion (£13.8 billion) in 2023, marking a 3.9% increase from 2022. Therefore, the growing infrastructure investments are driving the gypsum board suspended ceilings market’s growth.

Key companies in the gypsum board suspended ceilings market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions such as standard gypsum boards to enhance installation efficiency, reduce weight, and improve ceiling performance in residential and commercial settings. Standard gypsum board refers to basic gypsum panels intended for interior wall and ceiling applications in dry environments, offering a smooth surface ideal for painting and finishing. For example, in February 2025, CGC Inc., a Canada-based manufacturer, launched the Sheetrock Brand UltraLight PRO Panel - a standard, lightweight, and durable gypsum panel designed for interior ceiling and wall installations. This panel provides up to an 8.9% reduction in weight along with improved edge durability to resist fastener blowouts, making installation easier without compromising strength. Additionally, it supports faster and more sustainable construction by minimizing material waste and lowering greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with industry demands for efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

Gypsum board suspended ceilings are ceiling systems constructed from gypsum panels fixed onto a lightweight metal framework suspended from the primary structural ceiling. Widely used in both commercial and residential buildings, these ceilings are valued for their smooth finish and ease of installation. They offer an aesthetically pleasing, sound-insulating, and fire-resistant surface while concealing electrical wiring, plumbing, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) components within the ceiling cavity.

The main product types of gypsum board suspended ceilings include standard gypsum board, moisture-resistant gypsum board, fire-resistant gypsum board, soundproof gypsum board, and impact-resistant gypsum board. Standard gypsum board is a basic gypsum panel intended for interior wall and ceiling applications in dry environments, providing a smooth surface suitable for painting and finishing. Based on installation methods, these ceilings are classified into exposed grid, concealed grid, and others, and are available in various thicknesses - below 12 mm, 12 to 15 mm, 15 to 20 mm, and above 20 mm - complying with regional standards such as American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, and local building codes. They are used across a range of end-user sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, healthcare, and educational facilities.
