FGD gypsum is a by-product generated from the fuel gas desulfurization (FGD) process in coal-fired power plants. This process is used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission from the fuel gases to comply with environmental regulations. FGD gypsum is a valuable material as it can be used as a substitute for natural gypsum in various applications. The construction sector, in particular, is a major consumer of FGD gypsum as it is used in plasterboard and cement production. Stringent environment regulations and emission standards have led power plants to adopt FGD systems, resulting in a higher FGD gypsum production. In 2022, Asia Pacific held the largest share of the global FGD gypsum market. The major factors driving the FGD gypsum market growth in Asia Pacific are the increasing FGD system installation in coal power plants and rising construction activities. North America holds an extensive growth opportunity for the FGD gypsum market players due to its growing utilization in the end-use industries, including construction, agriculture, and water treatment. Synthetic gypsum, especially FGD gypsum, is utilized in various interior, exterior, and structural building and construction applications. The construction sector in North America is witnessing growth due to a robust economy and increased federal and state financing for commercial and institutional structures in the region. According to a report published by the US Census Bureau in 2022, the spending on residential construction in the US increased from US$ 815.48 billion in 2021 to US$ 929.67 billion in 2022. According to the US Geological Survey, synthetic gypsum accounted for ~32% of the total supply of gypsum in the US during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Market players focus on providing high-quality products to fulfill customer demand. They also adopt strategies such as investments in research and development activities and new product launches.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on FGD Gypsum Market
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The construction industry was severely affected by disruptions in supply chains and shutdowns of production plants in the initial phases of the pandemic. The pandemic caused disruptions in the global supply chain due to factory shutdowns, transportation restrictions, and labor shortages. These upheavals hindered the availability of raw materials and packaging components, leading to potential supply chain delays and increased operating costs for FGD gypsum manufacturers. The pandemic has increased the demand for certain products, such as pharmaceuticals, healthcare supplies, and essential consumer goods.
