US Gypsum production rises steadily in 2024

26 February 2025

US: Gypsum producers mined 22Mt of natural gypsum in 2024, according to the figures published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Production rose by 2% year-on-year from 21.5Mt in 2023. The USGS listed California, Iowa and Kansas as the top producers among 15 gypsum-mining states in the US in 2024. 45 different mines contributed to the total. Major domestic applications for the gypsum included use as raw materials in the country’s 3.16Bnm2/yr-capacity gypsum wallboard industry. The sector sold an estimated 2.6Bnm2 of wallboard throughout the year, up by 4% year-on-year.

The US exported 45,000t of natural gypsum during 2024, up by 2% from 44,000t in 2024. Its imports declined year-on-year, meanwhile, by 4%, from 7.77Mt to 7.4Mt – 17% of a total domestic consumption of 44Mt.

Gypsum Resources Australia joins lobbying to protect Glebe Island port

26 February 2025

Australia: Gypsum supplier Gypsum Resources Australia has joined 24 other organisations in calling on the state government of New South Wales to reconsider a planned relocation of Sydney Harbour’s last working port from Glebe Island in Sydney Harbour to the city of Newcastle, 150km away. The company said that such a move might have ‘severe’ economic repercussions due to increased freight costs and supply chain delays for the Sydney market.

Gypsum Resources Australia General Manager Alistair Kelsh said “We need clarity and certainty for the future, so that we can continue to support Sydney’s construction needs. Shifting Glebe Island port facilities will not just see building projects cost more for consumers and the government, but lead to thousands of extra truck movements on Sydney’s roads.”
