Plasterboard in Peru: Market Guide for Drywall Distributors

Published August 2026 · XINMAILONG Market Research

Market Overview

Peru's construction market has expanded with major infrastructure and housing projects, particularly in Lima and northern coastal cities. Drywall systems are widely adopted for speed of construction and cost efficiency. The suspended ceiling market uses standard 600×600mm tiles with T-24 grids, similar to most of Latin America.

Climate Considerations

Peru's coastal climate — including Lima's high humidity and garúa fog — drives strong demand for moisture-resistant and mould-resistant boards. Green moisture-proof plasterboard is essential for coastal projects, while fire-rated boards are required for commercial buildings and high-rise towers.

Import Requirements

Gypsum board imports enter Peru under HS 6809.11. Customs valuation, ISC (impuesto selectivo al consumo) where applicable, and IGV (18% VAT) apply. Importers typically require quality certificates and test reports from the manufacturer to speed clearance.
