According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Abrasive Market is accounted for $52.62 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $76.79 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.50% during the forecast period. Materials called abrasives are employed to remove wood, concrete, ceramic, stone, or minerals. These materials offer a refined, completed appearance. The method is frequently used to polish materials to obtain a smooth, shiny surface. These items are used to give fabrics with matte, satin, or beaded finishes a rougher surface. The market's expansion is supported by the use of these materials in sandpapers, grinding wheels, polishes, honing stones, tumbling and vibratory mass finishing media, pulp stones, sandblasting, ball mills, and other equipment. Additionally, the industry is constantly changing as a result of shifting technologies and a scarcity of skilled labour.
According to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), in Germany, the turnover in the main construction industry in November 2021 was up by 6.2% compared to the corresponding month of the previous year. According to the US Census Bureau, the total construction output in the United States was estimated to be USD 1639.86 billion in December 2021, indicating a 9% increase compared to USD 1504.2 billion in the same period the previous year. According to the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), in 2018, the U.S. aerospace and defense industry has contributed more than USD 374 billion to the GDP (Gross Domestic Products) of the U.S.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing Demand from the Automotive Industry
The product is used to repair auto bodies, size engine parts, and clean the interior and outside of vehicles. These items are also used to clean the interior of pipes, welds, edges, and surfaces that will be painted, polished, fitted, or cleaned. While grinding wheels are utilised for cars, coated and non-woven goods are used to refinish auto bodywork. The growth of the automotive sector is directly supported by the high demand coming from a variety of applications. For non-engine parts and accessories including brakes, steering wheels, wheels, and axles, several abrasive products are employed. In order to gather tools, brakes have a unique abrasive with a non-directional scratch pattern. The brake screech is removed, and heat-sensitive metals' discolouration is decreased. The brake screech is removed, and heat-sensitive metals' discolouration is decreased. The interior and outside of cars are prepared and polished with abrasive sandpaper. Additionally, it is anticipated that the market would be severely impacted by the escalating raw material price variations and the state of the economy.
Restraint:
Lack of Raw Material Availability and Stringent Regulations
Aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, cubic boron nitride, synthetic diamond, and ceramics are the most frequently used abrasive basic materials. These raw materials are derived from resources that are regenerative, like petroleum. Governments have also acted and imposed strict limits on the usage of this commodity as a response of growing concerns over environmental protection and halting the spread of pollution, which has hampered market expansion.
Opportunity:
Growing Application of Abrasives for Construction Activities
Due to rising urbanisation and improved lifestyles, there has been an upsurge in construction activities. Market development is further aided by high levels of renovation activity and economic growth in developing nations. These goods are employed in the construction sector for a variety of purposes, including metal fabrications, metal components, and woodworking & fabrication. Growing economies are the main countries where the construction industry is expanding. Due to the increase of residential construction, the expanding population in these nations has had a favourable impact on product consumption. Additionally, the rapid industrialization of smaller western nations is directly boosting the expansion of the construction sector, which in turn is driving the expansion of the abrasives market.
Threat:
Shortage of labour and lack of raw materials
The market's biggest problem is a lack of qualified workers in the sector. The scarcity of raw supplies is another difficult aspect.
Covid-19 Impact
All industries, including manufacturing, metalworking, and the automobile, were affected by the epidemic. There have been disruptions caused by large-scale Chinese manufacturing exports. The lockout has also led to plant closures in the United States, which has put even more acute pressure on the global supply chain, putting both firms and customers at danger. The pandemic has caused a shift in the supply chain on a worldwide scale, which has an impact on the metalworking, industrial, automotive, and other industries. In turn, this is upsetting the market and causing a downward change in product demand. Abrasives, including aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, boron nitride, and others, are frequently discovered in nature through the process of underground extraction. Mining operations and product demand have both been impacted by the global closure. Government restrictions on the production of raw materials and the shutdown of the manufacturing industry both limit market expansion.
The coated segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Based on product type the market is classified into Coated, Super, Bonded, Loose, Steel and Other product types. The coated sector is anticipated to be responsible for the increased demand in the abrasives market during the course of the forecast. The focus on quick industrialization in developing nations and the growth of the metal fabrication sector are predicted to change suppliers' and customers' preferences for abrasives. In addition, rising demand for coated abrasives across all end-use sectors is anticipated to fuel market expansion for abrasives. Companies have been forced to increase their manufacturing capacities due to the rising demand for this product category. Grain, a backing material, and bonding adhesive make up the coated section. These elements provide the product a distinctive quality that makes it suited for a variety of uses. Segment growth will be boosted by the use of coated abrasives in consumer goods, fabrication, hand and power tools, general engineering, furniture, and surgical devices.
The metal fabrication segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Application segment is divided into Heavy Machinery, Metal Fabrication, Automotive & Transportation, Electrical & Electronics Equipment and Other applications. The end-use industry category in the abrasives market with the quickest rate of CAGR is metal fabrication. Its use and demand in metal fabrication for cutting-off and grinding, removing welds and extra material, surface blending, finishing, and polishing are credited with this increase. Metal structures are manufactured using this kind of fabrication using bending, cutting, and assembly procedures. This item is used to cut metals into the desired shape using cut-off saws, also known as chop saws. These saws have steel-cutting abrasive discs. Fiber discs and flap discs, which are primarily used for smoothing and grinding metal surfaces, are additional items for metal fabrication.
Region with highest share:
Due to the increasing product demand from the automotive and aerospace & military industries, North America is predicted to experience consistent expansion over the next years. Increasing emphasis on the production of EVs in the region along with the restart of aircraft manufacturing operations are projected to benefit the market growth in the years to come, despite the reduction in the forecast period caused by the pandemic.
Region with highest CAGR:
During the anticipated period, Asia Pacific controlled the global market and generated the greatest revenue share. Over the course of the projection period, market expansion is anticipated to be driven by improvements in infrastructure, rising manufacturing sector investments, and an increase in EV production in the region's growing economies. The demand for passenger and commercial vehicles is at an all-time high due to an increase in disposable income, particularly in developing nations. As a result, it is anticipated that in the years to come, this increased demand for cars will indirectly fuel the market for abrasives. During the projection period, the rise in electronic device sales is projected to increase demand for coated abrasives in the electronic industry, particularly in the consumer goods sector.
