Plasterboard in Argentina: Durlock Market & Import Opportunities

Published August 2026 · XINMAILONG Market Research

Market Overview

Argentina's drywall market is dominated by the "durlock" brand, which has become the generic term for plasterboard in the country. Despite economic volatility, residential renovation and commercial construction sustain steady demand for gypsum boards, ceiling tiles, and metal profiles.

Product Landscape

Standard Argentine plasterboard is 1200×2400mm and 12.5mm thick for walls, with 9.5mm boards used for ceilings. Moisture-resistant green board and fire-rated pink board are available from local producers, but imported products compete on price and specialty grades. Ceiling tiles follow the 600×600mm module with T-24 grids.

Sourcing Considerations

Argentina has historically applied import licenses and controls that affect building materials. Working with importers who manage the regulatory landscape is essential. Suppliers offering flexible payment terms and FOB/CIF options are preferred. The Chinese-supplied share of specialty boards continues to grow.
