Europe Magnesium Oxide Boards Market Segment Analysis – By Material Type

Gypsum drywall held the largest share of 34% in the Europe magnesium oxide boards market in the year 2020. Gypsum drywall has various advantages such as easy installation, affordable, fire resistance, sound control and rigid which makes it a preferred product of magnesium oxide in the Europe magnesium oxide boards market. According to Eurogypsum (European Federation of National Associations of Gypsum Product Manufacturers) the European market witnesses an annual turnover of almost US$9.44 billion (7.7 billion Euros). Gypsum drywall is used in both residential and non-residential construction and for refurbishments as well. The various gypsum drywall related products used in the construction industry is plasterboard, gypsum fireboard, decorative plaster, plaster block and others. This is driving the demand for magnesium oxide in the gypsum drywall segment of the Europe magnesium oxide boards industry.

Europe Magnesium Oxide Boards Market Segment Analysis – By Application

Roofing segment held the largest share of 53% in the Europe magnesium oxide boards market in the year 2020. The increase in the number of construction activities in the European Union countries such as refurbishments, maintenance & repair (ceiling covering), insulation systems (electric wire, motors and others), roofing, flooring and others is highly driving the roofing segment in the Europe magnesium oxide boards market. Magnesium oxide boards are extensively used in many buildings for their ceiling coverings. The use magnesium oxide boards for the ceiling covering are increasing in the present years owing to the properties of magnesium oxide boards such as easy maintenance, cheaper and customization.

This is highly driving the demand for magnesium oxide boards market in the UK.

Europe Magnesium Oxide Boards Market Drivers

Growth in the Construction Industry

The increase in activities in the construction industry in Europe, such as roofing, ceiling covering, flooring, insulated systems (such as wiring, electric motors), setting up of gypsum drywall and others is driving the Europe magnesium oxide boards market. Magnesium oxide boards have various applications such as water treatment, waste & recycling, insulating systems and others. According to Committee for European Construction Equipment the construction industry in Europe contributes around 9% to the GDP. This is also increasing the number of activities in the construction industry such as repair and maintenance, flooring, ceiling covering, gypsum drywalls and others in which magnesium oxide boards are widely used. This is hugely driving the Europe magnesium oxide board industry.

Growing Awareness about Environmental-Friendly Products

The increasing awareness about environmental-friendly products is one of the major factor driving the Europe magnesium oxide board market. Magnesium oxide does not produce or release any harsh chemicals and toxic substances such as fuel effluents and carbon-dioxide, which is harmful to the environment. Therefore, magnesium oxide is considered safe and is recommended by the government as well as the regulatory bodies around the world. Magnesium oxide helps in reducing pollution to a great extent and aid in promoting environmental friendly practices. Therefore it is one of the major factors driving the growth of the magnesium oxide boards market in the Europe.

Europe Magnesium Oxide Boards Market Challenges

Risk of moisture damage on surfaces of Magnesium Oxide Board

Magnesium oxide absorbs moisture from outside air, which will cause damage to the object. In certain cases, the object also absorbs water droplets when it comes in contact with water, causing heavy moisture damage to the object. Since the magnesium oxide board contains chloride ions, it reacts with water and causes damage. This causes decomposition to the product over time, if it comes into contact with air and water for too long. As per data provided by International RILEM Conference on Materials, Systems and Structures in Civil Engineering there were reported cases of moisture damage in many Danish buildings, which was a major challenge to the Europe magnesium oxide boards.
