04. Introduction

Abrasives are materials used to grind, abrade, or clean work pieces to give desired shape and

finish. They are of various types, but can be broadly classified into bonded, coated, loose

abrasive grains, superabrasives, and others. The basic raw materials used to make abrasives are

ceramics, diamonds, and naturally occurring elements. Abrasives are used in various processes,

including polishing of surfaces, buffing, honing, and sanding. They are extensively used in various

sectors, including the Metal Fabrication and Medical Device sectors.

The Global Abrasives market is growing at a rapid rate. The market was valued at US$37.15 billion

in 2013 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.35 percent during the forecast period.

Geographically, the market is dominated by the APAC region, which held a share of 56 percent

in 2013, followed by Europe and North America. China was the leading contributor in terms of

consumption in 2013, followed by the US.

The Global Abrasives market is driven by many growth factors. An increase in the demand for

automobiles is one of the major drivers in the market. Abrasives are used extensively in the

Automotive sector for cleaning rust, dirt, and paint coatings. The Global Abrasives market is

expected to experience strong growth as a result of the growth of the Global Automobile

market. In addition, the market is also expected to grow with the growing demand for electronic

and electrical products worldwide.

Despite the presence of several drivers, the Global Abrasives market is facing some challenges.

The high operating cost and the high cost of imported raw materials are hindering the growth of

this market. The cost of manufacturing abrasives is high as the raw materials used in their

manufacture are imported from emerging countries at high prices, which makes it difficult for

manufacturers to maintain profitability. In addition, stringent government regulations regarding

the use of silica abrasives pose another major obstacle to the growth of this market.

06. Market Growth Drivers

Some of the key drivers of the Global Abrasives market are discussed below:


Driver 2

Driver 3

Driver 4


The demand for abrasives is increasing with the growth in the Transportation sector globally,

especially the Automotive sector. The global demand for automobiles has increased in recent

years, especially from developing countries because of an increase in per capita income and

economic development. Therefore, the Global Automobile market is expected to witness

constant growth during the forecast period, which is expected to drive the growth of the Global

Abrasives market.




07. Market Challenges

Some of the major challenges faced by the vendors in the Global Abrasives market are

discussed below:


Challenge 2

Challenge 3

Challenge 4


The manufacturing of various abrasives is extremely expensive, which makes it difficult for

manufacturers to maintain profitability. Also, most of the raw materials used for the production of

abrasives are imported from emerging economies at high prices. This increases the

manufacturing cost of abrasives, thus decreasing the profit margins of manufacturers. For

instance, major manufacturers in developed nations import raw materials for abrasives from

China and Brazil at high prices, which poses a major obstacle to the growth of this market in

developed countries.




08. Market Trends

Some of the major trends in the Global Abrasives market are discussed below:


Trend 2

Trend 3

Trend 4


The demand for abrasives in China has been rising constantly over the last few years. This trend is

expected to continue during the forecast period because of the significant economic and

infrastructural development in the country. China is expected to account for more than half of

the total demand in the Global Abrasives market during the forecast period because of the

rapid growth of the Automotive sector. The country is expected to register annual sales of more

than XXX vehicles by 2018.




09. Vendor Landscape

09.1 Competitive Scenario

The Global Abrasives market is highly fragmented with many regional as well as global players.

The market is highly competitive because of the presence of many major players worldwide and

the even distribution of market share among them.

With the increasing demand for abrasives in the APAC region, especially in China, many new

players from this region are expected to enter the market.

3M, Bosch, DuPont, and Saint-Gobain Abrasives are the major players in this market. On the basis

of revenue, Saint-Gobain Abrasives is the leader in the Global Abrasives market. Other key

vendors in the market include Asahi Diamond Industrial Co., Cabot Microelectronics, Henkel,

and Tyrolit Schleifmittelwerke Swarovski.
