Growth Factors in the Abrasives Industry:

• Rising Product Demand from Automotive and Manufacturing Sectors

The largest end-user segments historically are automotive, manufacturing and construction, as they are generally expected to largely rely on processes of precision cutting, grinding and finishing. The growth is driven by increased automotive production, urbanization and an increase in per capita disposable incomes. In vehicle assembly, abrasives are used for surface finishing, weld removal, and other finishing work. Abrasives are also seeing increasing demand in metal fabrication. Automation and robotics have been instrumental in this market. As industrial automation and smart manufacturing become more common, the demand for efficient, long-lasting and high-performance abrasive products continues to grow across all sectors.

• Ongoing Technological Advancements

Research and development is the main driver of most of the technological advancements within the abrasives sector. Super-abrasives, in the form of cubic boron nitride (CBN) or industrial diamonds have had major advancements in high precision applications through performance, durability, and efficiency. Bonding systems with increased performance, and nanostructured coatings are helping to achieve higher cutting speed, longer tool life, and consistent performance. The use of 3D printing and automation in the production of customized abrasive tools for more complex industrial applications increases production efficiency and reduces the amount of waste and energy used in manufacture. The increasing importance of precision engineering in industries such as aerospace, energy and medical manufacture continues to drive new developments in abrasives technology.

• Increasing Industrial Activities

The rapid worldwide development of infrastructure is driving the abrasive consumption of construction, fabrication and engineering operations. Steel, concrete, and composite materials, used for modern buildings and infrastructure, require abrasives for processing and finishing. The increase in expenditure on transportation, energy, and housing in developing Asia-pacific and Middle East countries is also expected to drive demand for abrasives market. An increase in the use of alternative building materials and shift towards green, lightweight, and high tensile strength materials is expected to drive demand for advanced abrasives. The growing industrial production globally, helped by the increasing trend toward automation, was a factor in this growth.

Key Trends in the Abrasives Market

• Emergence of Sustainable Abrasive Manufacturing

Increased concerns about sustainability have been met by efforts from abrasive manufacturers to design products that include recyclable abrasives and to change manufacturing practices to reduce carbon footprints and industrial waste. Alternatives to chemical-based coatings and adhesives, such as water-based varnishes and adhesives and bio-based adhesives, are also going to grow in use within industry. Government regulations, standards, and tax incentives for green industry practices help drive adoption forward. Sustainable abrasives are expected to penetrate the market because the industry moves to a circular economy and regulatory and consumer demands increase.

• Adoption of AI and Predictive Analytics in Production

Artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive analytics are being employed within abrasive manufacturing to improve productivity and consistency. AI systems perform monitoring of the grinding and predict rates of wear while they adjust controls automatically for maximum productivity. Machine learning powers predictive maintenance for avoiding downtime and for extending the equipment life cycle. Manufacturers analyze big data to monitor how the supply chain performs and to control quality in real time. It improves how operations respond, letting manufacturers respond fast to demand changes with high production efficiency and quality levels.

• Rising Demand for High-Precision and Customized Abrasives

Aerospace, semiconductors, the manufacture of medical devices, and other industries are seeking customized abrasives with surface finish and other properties tailored to the material and the task. Simulation and design software are now used by manufacturers to develop application-specific abrasives which help reduce cycle time, raw material consumption and improve product quality. This trend towards application focused precision abrasives has resulted in the development of tailored formulations, bonding processes and geometries to meet changing requirements in industry.
