The data indicates a steady increase in the number of active mines producing crude gypsum across Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas from 2024 to 2028, with the value rising from 27.79 in 2024 to 31.02 in 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth pattern, marking a healthy rise from the 2023 figures, which stood at approximately 27 units. The compound annual growth rate over this period is projected to be reasonable, confirming a sustained expansion of the gypsum mining sector.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from regulatory changes, technological advancements in mining processes, and market demand shifts in the construction and agricultural sectors, which could influence gypsum production dynamics.
