Plasterboard is a ceiling lining or internal wall board that is essentially used in residential and commercial frame construction. It is generally used as an inner layer of gypsum that is sandwiched between layers of paper. Various additives are added to the final product to develop plasterboard with different properties. Plasterboards are available in a variety of thicknesses and sheet sizes depending upon the application. For instance, acoustic plasterboards prevent sound, whereas thermal plasterboards prevent loss of energy from buildings. Other plasterboards are utilized to control moisture accumulation in bathrooms and kitchens as well as provide protection against fire. Based on these applications, the global plasterboard market can be divided into residential and non-residential construction. Residential construction is expected to be the fastest growing application segment in the near future. The global plasterboard market can also be segmented based on form and product type. In terms of form, the plasterboard market can be bifurcated into tapered-edge plasterboard and square-edged plasterboard. On the basis of product type, the market is segmented into fire-resistant, moisture-resistant, sound insulation, thermal, specialist, impact-resistance, and standard plasterboards.
