Demand for gypsum products remained strong in 1988. New public and private housing unit starts, a major indicator of gypsum product demand, decreased 8% to 1.5 million units. The gypsum industry set new record-high levels for crude gypsum mined and shipments of prefabricated wallboard products, but calcined gypsum production decreased slightly. Sales of gypsum products decreased 5% to 25 million short tons, and value decreased 8% to $2.1 billion. Increased competition caused lower prices for gypsum products. Imports for consumption of crude gypsum remained about 9.7 million tons. Total value of gypsum product exports increased 12% to $36 million.
