Abrasive Industry Overview
The global abrasive market size was valued at USD 34.41 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% from 2021 to 2028.
Growth in the metal fabrication industry on account of the rising demand for pre-engineered buildings components and developments in the manufacturing sector is one of the key driving factors of the market. The growth of the metal fabrication industry is also driven by the rising demand from various end-use industries including medical, agriculture, automotive, and aerospace. Moreover, the market is continuously evolving because of the changing technologies and lack of skilled labor. The U.S. holds key importance in the global market.
Although, the country has not witnessed any major growth in the manufacturing sector, due to changing economic priorities affecting tariffs and internal investments; emphasis on domestic production is expected to prove fruitful for market growth over the coming years.

Growth in the Electric Vehicles (EVs) industry is expected to be another major driving factor for the market. In 2019, the global EV sales reached 2.1 million and the U.S. was amongst the key markets for EVs. According to the IEA, the U.S. electric car stock increased by 29.5% from 2018 to 2019. The demand for EVs and their charging stations is increasing in the U.S., which, in turn, is anticipated to boost the abrasives demand over the coming years.
Moreover, growth in the manufacturing sector of developing economies of Asia is boosting the demand for super abrasives. For instance, in April 2020, the government of India announced production-linked incentives for large-scale electronic goods makers for the next five years to attract investments in mobile phone manufacturing and electronic component units. Such initiatives are contributing to industrial growth in the country, thereby driving the overall market.
However, the market growth is expected to be restrained on account of volatile raw material prices. Mass production of abrasives requires large amounts of raw materials, such as aluminum oxide. The prices of bauxite and other source minerals fluctuate significantly, owing to factors, such as varying transport costs impacted by fuel prices, thereby affecting the production cost and pricing of abrasives.
