Abrasives Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

The global abrasives market size reached US$ 45.3 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 61.5 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% during 2023-2028.

Abrasives refer to mineral-based substances that are used for polishing, grinding and cleaning surfaces. They are utilized in ultrasonic machining, abrasive jet machining and magnetic field-assisted polishing. Besides this, as they help remove excess sizing, slicing and material, they are commonly employed in the manufacturing of intricate components or creating ultra-smooth surfaces for machines and aircraft. They also find extensive application in the automotive sector for lowering noise levels, minimizing carbon emissions and manufacturing automotive parts, such as mirrors, valve springs and fuel and de-aeration tanks.

At present, the market is experiencing growth on account of the burgeoning automotive industry. Moreover, the thriving electronics and manufacturing industries act as another growth-inducing factor. Abrasives are used in these industries to scrape the metal in small amounts for manufacturing semiconductors and other electronic equipment with precision. Apart from this, leading players are focusing on various product innovations, such as the development of polyester- and fabric-based abrasives. They are also introducing advanced coated abrasives for metal fabrication, which is propelling the abrasives market growth. Besides this, the growing adoption of super-abrasives, such as industrial diamonds for precision grinding and cutting of hard metals, is also boosting their sales worldwide.

Rapid urbanization, inflating income levels and the rising global population have boosted the sales of automobiles worldwide.
