What Global Gypsum does

Global Gypsum is a private B2B media and events company headquartered in Epsom, United Kingdom, and operated by Pro Global Media. Founded in May 1998, the company is the publisher of Global Gypsum Magazine, recognized as the world's leading journal dedicated to the gypsum industry, issued ten times per year, alongside a monthly digital newsletter distributed globally. The company organizes the annual Global Gypsum Conference (the 23rd edition held in 2025 in Amsterdam), recognized as the largest gathering of gypsum professionals worldwide, as well as the parallel Global Insulation Conference serving the adjacent insulation sector.

The core technology is a digital media platform combining web-based content delivery at globalgypsum.com, email newsletter distribution, and online conference registration systems, complemented by print magazine production. The product portfolio extends beyond the magazine and newsletter into a paid Global Gypsum Directory, an online Knowledge Base of technical and research content, an annual Awards program, in-depth industry Reports, and sponsorship/exhibition tiers attached to the conference. The platform is delivered globally across at least 17 countries spanning Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, South America, Africa, and Oceania, with content syndicated through LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube channels.

The business model is multi-stream: annual magazine subscriptions, newsletter access (digital download), paid conference attendance and sponsorship, directory listing fees, and advertising across digital and print properties. The company addresses three primary customer segments: gypsum and wallboard producers, equipment suppliers and service providers to the industry, and industry professionals/analysts. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. Operating with a small team of 1-10 employees, the company functions as a lean specialist publisher with no external funding or parent company ownership disclosed in the data.

Broad incumbents

• Concrete Construction: Major trade publication for the concrete industry under The Concrete Producer/AC Business Media. Overlaps with gypsum as a complementary interior construction material and shares the same contractor, distributor, and specifier audience.
• Industrial Minerals: Long-running trade publication covering industrial minerals markets globally, including gypsum, anhydrite, and related materials. Comparable B2B intelligence model with price reporting and conferences serving mineral producers and end-users.
• Engineering News-Record (ENR): The leading U.S. construction industry trade media brand under BNP Media, covering the full construction ecosystem including materials. A broader incumbent that covers gypsum as one vertical among many, with much larger scale and audience.
• Pit & Quarry: Trade media brand covering the aggregates, mining, and industrial minerals industries in North America. Comparable B2B model (magazine, events, awards) targeting producers in adjacent heavy-side construction materials, including gypsum mining operations.
• Construction Executive: Trade publication for commercial construction professionals covering materials (including gypsum products), technology, and business management. Broader incumbent operating at larger scale across the full construction value chain.

Direct peers

• Walls & Ceilings Magazine: Long-standing North American B2B trade publication covering the wall and ceiling industry, including gypsum board, drywall, plaster, insulation, and ceilings — overlapping directly with Global Gypsum's coverage and target audience of contractors, distributors, and manufacturers.
• Global Cement: Sister publication under Pro Global Media covering the global cement industry. Operates the same B2B trade media model (magazine, newsletter, annual conference, directory, awards) targeting a directly adjacent heavy-side construction materials vertical — making it the closest functional peer.
• Global Slag: Another Pro Global Media title focused on the slag and slag-related construction materials industry. Identical business model (magazine, conference, directory, awards) targeting a related industrial mineral vertical serving similar buyer personas.
• Global Concrete: Pro Global Media sister publication covering the global concrete industry. Same magazine + conference + directory format targeting concrete producers and suppliers — directly adjacent to gypsum in the construction materials ecosystem.

Regional players

• Stone World: BNP Media trade publication covering the natural stone and surfacing industry with strong North American focus. Operates the same B2B trade media + events model serving building materials manufacturers and specifiers, though in a different materials vertical.
