The global magnesium oxide board market size was valued at USD 1,557.3 million in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 1,637.9 million in 2023. The market is projected to be valued at USD 2,372.7 million by 2030, recording a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period of 2023-2030.

Magnesium oxide board is one of the most advanced raw materials used in buildings. It offers higher performance as compared to the conventional raw materials such as gypsum, wood, and cement-based products. Magnesium oxide is a mineral cement produced under heat and pressure by using magnesium and oxygen. An MgO board is known for its beneficial features such as energy efficiency during production, waste reduction, and good fireproofing. They also offer resilience against mold, mildew, rot, and allergens as they have fungi-resistant features. Contractors are using these boards on a large scale due to their ease of installation and lightweight nature; MgO boards are nearly 20-30% lighter than cement ones. Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in a report titled, "Magnesium Oxide Board Market, 2023-2030."

Segments:

Thin Boards to Lead as they are Extensively Installed in Walls and Ceilings

Based on type, the market is divided into thin (<8 mm), medium (8-15 mm), and thick (>15 mm). The thin (<8 mm) segment captured a major market share in terms of revenue in 2022. The rapidly expanding construction sector and growing industrialization in regions, such as Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific, might boost the adoption of thin boards. These boards are majorly used in walls, ceiling linings, and fascia applications.

Residential Segment to Dominate due to Wide Use of MgO Boards

In terms of application, the market is divided into residential, commercial, and industrial. The residential segment captured the biggest magnesium oxide board market share and is also the fastest-growing application. The increasing preference of customers for green buildings and creating fire-resistant houses is bolstering the adoption of MgO boards in the residential segment. The rapidly growing population in APAC and North America regions is also augmenting the number of residential construction projects. These factors are predicted to drive the product usage

Geographically, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

Drivers and Restraints:

End-users’ Increasing Investments in Eco-Friendly Products will Augment Product Demand

Ecological construction is growing at a robust pace each year due to customers’ rising inclination toward green buildings. This has accelerated the production of MgO boards, as they do not comprise asbestos, benzene, formaldehyde, and other harmful radioactive elements. They are non-toxic, smokeless, and free from foul odor.

These boards are also recommended by regulatory bodies and governments across the world. Their production cycle is naturally maintained, has less impact on the ecosystem, consumes less energy, has no sewage, and is energy-efficient. The unique natural pore structure of these boards helps them control the indoor temperature, thereby reducing energy consumption. These features are expected to boost the market share.

MgO boards are not ideal for making exterior facades or other products if they are exposed to moisture. This can adversely affect its lifespan. These boards will create a layer of salty droplets on their surfaces if the relative humidity (RH) crosses 84%. Due to its organic content, MgO boards are more prone to decay, further hindering the magnesium oxide board market growth.
