The Plaster Product Manufacturing industry generates the bulk of its revenue from selling plasterboard, compounds and cornices to construct single-unit houses and renovate homes. The smaller wall and ceiling areas in multi-unit apartment and townhouse structures relative to traditional housing constrains sales to these markets. The industry also generates plaster sales from the non-residential building market, particularly from work on commercial and institutional buildings, like hotels, hospitals and aged-care facilities.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 3.8 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $971.0m in 2023.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
