The United States Acoustic Plasterboard Market is experiencing robust expansion, projected to grow from US$ 324.5 million in 2024 to US$ 456.8 million by 2030, demonstrating a 5.9% CAGR. This growth trajectory reflects the construction industry’s accelerating shift toward noise-mitigating building materials amid tightening building codes and rising demand for acoustic comfort.
Acoustic plasterboard has become the material of choice for architects and contractors seeking STC (Sound Transmission Class) ratings between 45-60 dB in commercial offices, educational facilities, and healthcare environments. Unlike standard gypsum boards, these specialized panels incorporate fiberglass or mineral wool cores with enhanced density to disrupt sound wave transmission through walls and ceilings.

Market Dynamics and Construction Trends
The commercial sector dominates market share at 60%, driven by LEED certification requirements and corporate tenants prioritizing acoustic performance. Major tech firms like Google and Microsoft now mandate STC 55+ ratings in all new office builds—a specification only achievable with specialized acoustic plasterboards. Meanwhile, multifamily residential projects account for 25% of demand as noise complaints between units drive stricter building ordinances in urban centers.
Material innovations are reshaping the competitive landscape:
- Recycled content boards now contain up to 35% post-industrial gypsum waste
- Moisture-resistant variants enable usage in hotel bathrooms and pool areas
- Fire-rated acoustic boards combine 2-hour fire resistance with STC 50 performance
Regional Construction Hotspots
The Northeast corridor from Boston to Washington D.C. generates 28% of national demand, where century-old buildings undergo acoustic retrofits to meet modern workplace standards. California’s Title 24 energy codes are pushing green building adoption, creating a 15% demand surge for sustainable acoustic solutions across the West Coast.
Emerging growth markets include:
- Texas (12% CAGR): Data center construction boom requiring server farm soundproofing
- Florida (9% CAGR): Luxury condo developments with premium acoustic specifications
- Illinois (7% CAGR): Healthcare facility expansions post-pandemic
Competitive Landscape and Product Segmentation
Market leaders are investing heavily in proprietary technologies:
- USG Corporation’s SilentFX QuickCut reduces installation labor by 30%
