Earlier Report Observations

Between 2020 and 2023, the Swedish gypsum and anhydrite market contracted in physical terms, with total volume dropping from 457.5 thousand tons to 341.9 thousand tons. This decline was accompanied by a sharp fall in domestic production, which decreased by over 75% from 2020 to 2024.

The market's value followed a different pattern, peaking at 17.1 million USD in 2021 before collapsing to 10.7 million USD in 2023. Import volumes trended downward over the period, though their value fluctuated, indicating shifts in prices or product mix, while exports diminished steadily in both volume and value.

A partial recovery occurred in 2024, with market volume edging up to 350.9 thousand tons and value increasing to 11.5 million USD. This followed the steepest contraction in 2023, marking a potential stabilization after several years of decline in domestic output.
