The global abrasives market was valued at USD 37.30 Billion in 2016, and is projected to reach USD 52.67 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.03%. The base year considered for the study is 2016 with the market size projected from 2017 to 2022. The primary objective of the study is to define, segment, and project the abrasives market size on the basis of type, material, product type, end-use sector, and region. The study also aims at strategically analyzing micromarkets with respect to individual growth trends, future prospects, and their contribution to the total market. It also provides detailed information about the main factors influencing the growth of the market (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and industry-specific challenges). In addition to this, the study analyzes competitive developments such as acquisitions, new product launches, expansions & investments, and research & development activities in the abrasives market.

The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the market size included the top-down approach. The total market size for abrasives market was calculated, and accordingly, the percentage was allotted to different sectors in each of the segments, which were done on the basis of extensive primary interviews & secondary research, and reputed associations publish research such as German Abrasive Associations, European Abrasive Body, Unified Abrasives Manufacturing Associations (UAMA), and Coated Abrasives Fabricator Associations (CAFA). Primary research involved in this report includes extensive interviews with key people such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and executives. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments. The data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The breakdown of profiles of primary respondents is depicted in the figure below.

MarketsandMarkets projects that the abrasives market size will grow from USD 41.21 Billion in 2015 to reach USD 58.43 Billion by 2021, at an estimated CAGR of 6.10%.

Acquisitions and new product developments are important strategies taken up by many automotive companies in recent years. The abrasives market has been growing in accordance with the global automotive, metal fabrication, and machinery industry. With increasing urbanization and industrialization the need for new machinery has increased significantly throughout the world which has played a huge part in providing the necessary momentum to the global abrasives market after the economic slowdown between 2007 and 2009. The recovery of global economy would also boost the demand for this market.

The segments considered for this report are based on raw material, products, type, end-use industry, and region. The segmentation based on type consists of coated, bonded, and super abrasive. The coated segment is projected to grow at a high growth rate between 2016 and 2021. Based on raw material, the natural segment was the largest in 2015 as it provides benefits such as cost-effective, non-toxic, offers low material consumption rate, purity, and high productivity rates. These benefits help to manufacture automotive, machinery, electrical, and electronics components with less maintenance, ease, and of better quality.

The Asia-Pacific region is the most attractive market for abrasives, owing to the rapid growth in industries such as automotive, machinery, and metal fabrication in the region. The growth of this region is supplemented by the increase in consumption and production of industrial products in developing economies such as India and China. Rise in disposable income, especially in developing countries, has led to an exceptional demand for passenger and commercial vehicles. Thus, this augmented demand for automobiles is expected to indirectly drive the growth prospects of the abrasives market in the coming years. Rise in the sales of electronic devices is likely to boost the demand for coated abrasives in the electronic industry during the forecast period, especially in the consumer goods sector.

Abrasives Market

The stringent regulations regarding raw materials and manufacturing process along with fluctuating prices of raw materials are the major restraints to the abrasives market. In 2013, Asahi Diamond Industrial acquired Koremura Co., Ltd (Taiwan) which helped the company to expand its product portfolio related to abrasive range for metal fabrication and machinery industries. In 2011, Saint-Gobain acquired two companies Abrasivos Argentinos S.A. (Argentina) and Dancan S.A. (Argentina). Through this, company has strengthened its manufacturing base in Argentina.
