The forecast for crude mined gypsum production in Iowa and Indiana from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decrease. Production is expected to decline from 803.37 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 657.5 thousand metric tons in 2028. Year-on-year variation indicates steady negative growth: approximately -4.68% from 2025 to 2026, -4.95% from 2026 to 2027, and -5.10% from 2027 to 2028. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests an average annual decline. As of 2023, production stood slightly above 803.37 thousand metric tons, marking the beginning of this downturn.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in construction demand, gypsum recycling practices, and regulatory changes in mining operations. These could further impact production levels and market stability in the coming years.
