Gypsum: Production
A widely spread mineral with no dominant producer
What this tab covers Who produces it and how much: world output over recent years, the top producing countries with their shares, USGS world figures for 2024 and 2025, and the largest producing companies globally and in India.World Mining Data puts gypsum and anhydrite output at about 218 million t in 2024, up from 202 million t in 2020. China leads with 28%, then the US (10%), Iran (9%), Spain (7%), Oman (6%) and Turkey (5%). The HHI of 1,113 means unconcentrated supply. USGS gives a lower world total of 162 million t for 2024 and 160 million t for 2025, with gypsum produced in 78 countries. Growth is shifting to Asia, where wallboard use and new plants are rising. US crude output fell 4% to 20 million t in 2025.
