The analytical platform IndexBox has published an updated review of the gypsum and anhydrite market in Europe, highlighting stable demand growth, structural changes in production, and the strengthening role of natural minerals in industrial applications. The report covers key trends, a forecast through 2035, and consumption analysis across EU countries. Source Production: Spain remains the

High‑purity natural anhydrite — an anhydrous calcium sulfate with exceptionally high mineralogical purity — is presented as a stable raw material suitable for cement technologies, dry building mixes and specialised industrial processes. The material is sourced from natural deposits, and its consistent composition is confirmed by XRF and XRD laboratory analyses. The anhydrite phase content

The industrial materials sector is undergoing a large‑scale transformation aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions, modernising production and shifting toward low‑carbon materials. New CO₂‑capture technologies, market changes and rising demand for alternative binders confirm that ACS (air‑cooled slag) and GBFS (granulated blast furnace slag) are becoming key components in decarbonisation strategies.
