Thailand Gypsum Production Volume
~8–12 Mt/yr
Thailand is one of Asia's largest gypsum producers, with annual output estimated at 8–12 million tonnes. The Nakhon Ratchasima and Phichit deposits are the primary sources; the Department of Primary Industries and Mines (DPIM) issues concession licenses and publishes annual production statistics. Gypsum feeds domestic plasterboard and cement retarder demand (key customers: SCG Building Materials, TPI Polene, Siam City Cement) as well as significant exports to regional markets including Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. Thailand's natural gypsum cost structure is among the most competitive in Asia, supporting export profitability despite relatively modest ore grades.
