Latest Issue: Global Gypsum Magazine - May 2025

---

The May 2025 issue of Global Gypsum Magazine contains a detailed plant report from Etex’s largest ever plant project, a €200m expansion of its Bristol plant in the UK. The company has observed strong demand for wallboard in the country, which has an estimated 4.3m housing shortage. This - and much more - is covered in our separate look at the UK gypsum sector.

There’s also a summary of the gypsum market in South Korea, plus a look at Shellf Life’s novel building materials made from discarded seafood waste and in-depth discussion of Rauta’s activities in war-affected Ukraine, plus an overview of the country’s insulation market.
