"The standard plasterboard segment accounted for the highest market share in the plasterboard market in 2015"

The standard plasterboard segment dominated the plasterboard market in 2015 and is projected to retain the leading position through 2021. Standard wallboard is the most commonly used plasterboard and comes in different sizes. This type of plasterboard is expected to witness a higher growth in the emerging Asia-Pacific, Latin American, and Middle Eastern & African regions than in the developed regions. The higher growth of the standard plasterboard market in these regions is driven by the increasing number of new building constructions, both residential and non-residential, as well as the low pricing of standard boards.

"The tapered-edged segment, by form, accounted for a considerably higher market share in the plasterboard market"

The plasterboard market has been segmented into two forms, namely, tapered-edged and square-edged. The tapered-edged plasterboard led the demand for plasterboard in 2015 and is projected to grow at a higher CAGR from 2016 to 2021. This growth can be attributed to the easy and quick installation of tapered-edged plasterboard. Developed countries have a higher demand for tapered-edged plasterboard compared to that of developing countries.
