Not ornamented plaster boards and panels market in Poland

Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2021, the market volume for not ornamented plaster boards in Poland experienced shifts, starting at 107.3 million m² in 2018. That year, Rigips expanded its production capacity with three dedicated lines for boards, blocks, and ceilings at its Szarbków plant, supporting stable domestic output. Major brands like Rigips, Knauf, and Siniat offered innovative products, including boards with printed measuring edges and high-strength profiles, catering to construction sector demand. The market grew to 109.9 million m² in 2019 before contracting to 92.8 million m² in 2020 and recovering slightly to 93.4 million m² in 2021.

The market rebounded to 106.3 million m² in 2022, driven by the introduction of new product segments such as prefabricated gypsum board elements from Flexgips, which sped up installation and appealed to builders. Simultaneously, rising electricity and gas costs pushed up production expenses, leading to higher board prices and contributing to a 37% surge in market value to $165.8 million. After a drop to 89.8 million m² in 2023, volume edged up to 94.8 million m² in 2024 as manufacturers like Norgips met stricter regulatory standards, obtaining hygiene and performance certifications under the PN-EN 520+A1:2012 norm.
