In 2023, there were three active mines producing crude gypsum in South Dakota and Wyoming. 2024 forecasts show no change at 2.98, with a steady decrease anticipated through 2028, ending at 2.95 mines. Year-on-year variations demonstrate a negligible decline, with the compound annual growth rate slightly negative over five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes, shifts in demand for gypsum, and advancements in mining technology that could impact operational efficiencies and production levels. Monitoring environmental policies and economic factors will also be vital for assessing future industry dynamics.
