Plasterboard in Ecuador: Drywall & Ceiling Market Guide

Published August 2026 · XINMAILONG Market Research

Market Overview

Ecuador's construction sector is concentrated in Guayaquil (the commercial hub) and Quito (the capital). Both cities drive consistent demand for drywall partitions and suspended ceilings. The coastal climate of Guayaquil creates strong demand for moisture-resistant products.

Product Demand

Standard 1200×2400mm boards in 12.5mm and 9.5mm thicknesses are the workhorses. Moisture-proof green board is essential for Guayaquil's humid coastal environment, while standard board serves Quito's drier highland climate. Ceiling projects use 600×600mm PVC gypsum and mineral fiber tiles.

Importing & Logistics

Ecuador's main import gateway is Puerto Marítimo de Guayaquil. Imports of gypsum board fall under HS 6809.11 with applicable Arancel and IVA (12%). Importers need manufacturer documentation including test certificates for customs compliance.
