Abrasives Market Dynamics

Driver: Increasing demand for abrasives from the automotive & transportation industry

The surface of less resistant materials is worn away by abrasives, which are materials that are rough and sharp. They are applied as sandpaper, cut-off wheels, grinding wheels, and honing stones. Sandblasting surfaces made of less durable materials is done with these materials. With the use of abrasives, extremely accurate parts with smooth surfaces may be created for the production of autos, spaceships, and commercial airplanes, among other things. Abrasives are used to polish and roughen workpieces to give them the desired matte, satin, beaded, or other finish. In the production of vehicle parts, they are indispensable. Reduced noise and carbon dioxide emissions from high-performance engines are mostly dependent on component machining. High-performance abrasives can be used to cut, grind, and shape metal components to satisfy these criteria. In the automotive industry, abrasives are used for a variety of tasks, such as cleaning and sizing engine parts, deburring and sizing car parts, roughening or smoothing the surfaces of car components, repairing car accessories, and ensuring smooth welding of various car parts. Due to continued urbanization and a growing emphasis on the use of electric cars worldwide, the automotive and transportation industries are seeing tremendous expansion, which is fueling the growth of the global abrasive market.

Increasing demand for super abrasive in high-performance applications

The advancement of precision tooling, which helps produce smaller components with more accuracy, has been made possible by the evolution of the manufacturing sector. This has helped the market for the abrasives used in the process increase. To achieve the tight tolerances needed to generate smaller, more complicated bits that fit precisely into machine components, precision grinding is chosen. Because of this change in production technique, abrasive producers can benefit from increased client demand from the electronics and precision instrument sectors. Ceramics are utilized in components for automobiles and aircraft and are becoming more and more recognized as lightweight substitutes for metals like steel. Because they are strong, light, and heat-resistant, they are utilized in spark plugs, disc brakes, particle filters, and pump components to limit emissions and lighten the weight of automotive parts. High porosity ceramic preforms are utilized in metal matrix composites to reduce the heat stress brought on by uneven cooling.

Restraint: Volatility in raw material costs

Large quantities of raw materials like silicon carbide and aluminum oxide are needed for the mass manufacture of abrasives. However, bauxite and other source material prices vary greatly globally, which has an impact on abrasive pricing and manufacturing costs. It is also anticipated that the concentration of raw material suppliers in a small number of nations would negatively affect businesses' sourcing and distribution plans. The cost of transporting raw materials varies by region as well since fuel prices affect freight expenses. Due to the interruption of the worldwide supply chain caused by the coronavirus, there were notable variations in the pricing of raw materials utilized in the development of abrasives. Due to a shortage of marine vessels available for use in transportation, seaborne freight rates from China to other markets experienced a notable spike in Q4 of 2020. The flow of commerce for different minerals and other goods was disrupted as a result. Furthermore, other factors also affect costs. For example, as of August 2021, electricity shortages in China's major manufacturing hubs-the provinces of Henan, Shandong, and Guizhou-are driving up the cost of fused alumina.
