Abrasives Market by Type (Bonded, Coated, and Super), Material (Natural and Synthetic), and End-user Industry (Automotive, Metal Fabrication, Machinery, Electronics, Construction, and Others) - Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2017-2023

Abrasives Market Statistics 2023

The global abrasives market was valued at $34,615 million in 2016, and is projected to reach $53,634 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2017 to 2023. 

Key drivers of the abrasives market include the rising automotive industry. The demand for abrasive materials in the electronics and construction industry will spur the growth of the abrasives market during the forecast period. Moreover, the strict regulations regarding synthetic abrasives and fluctuations in raw material prices will restrain the market demand during the review period. However, R&D initiatives for innovative products will bolster the abrasives market in the upcoming years.

TRENDS INFLUENCING THE GLOBAL ABRASIVES MARKET

Automotive industry growth

The worldwide auto demand is growing rapidly as several commercial and passenger cars make their way into the market. Abrasives are used extensively in the automobile industry for engine part sizing, cleaning of interior body parts, accessories, repairs, etc. It helps in cleaning the insides of pipes and smoothens out surfaces, welds for oiling, painting, polishing, and fitting. Precision abrasives are also used in grinding and finishing electric vehicle components. These factors will propel the growth of the abrasives market during the forecast period. 

Electronics and construction sector

Electronic chip processing, LEDs, wafer production, and manufacturing of optical electric components use abrasives as one of the ingredients. The material is used widely for grinding, cutting, sanding, polishing, sharpening, and for removing the metallic burr, etc. The other extensive uses include metal fabrication, furnishing, stainless steel cutting, and cleaning. These are going to drive the growth of the abrasives market in the upcoming years. 

Volatile raw material prices

Coated abrasives face stiff competition due to fluctuating raw material prices owing to changes in labor and logistics costs. The pricing is set to increase as government authorities around the world clamp down on pollution activities. The strict environmental regulations have forced enterprises to suspend their production altogether which will create supply chain constraints. This will in turn hamper the abrasives market expansion during the review period. 

Innovative solutions

The continuous R&D initiatives have given rise to abrasive water jet machining technology. It allows precise polishing, drilling, and turning. Then there are sol-gel abrasives containing ceramic alumina which enhance the cutting and grinding process. It increases the product life and has a high removal rate without compromising on the processing quality. The strength and durability are increased manifold. Such rapid developments will push the abrasives market forward in the coming decades. 

ABRASIVES MARKET SHARE ANALYSIS

Based on type, bonded abrasives will grow the highest in the abrasives market share at a CAGR Of 6.4% during the review period due to precision grinding and polishing in the automotive and construction industry. 

Based on material, synthetic abrasives will offer huge growth potential in the abrasives market share as they can be molded and customized as per varied applications. 

Based on the end-user industry, the automotive segment will witness considerable growth in the abrasives market share due to widespread use in polishing, grinding, cleaning, and finishing automotive car parts. It will grow at a CAGR of 6.7%.

Based on region, Asia-pacific maintained the lead in the abrasives market share with 40% and will grow at a CAGR of 5.2%. This is due to rapid urbanization and huge infrastructural developments. China occupied two-fifth of the Asia-pacific market and Italy will grow at a CAGR of 6.8%.
