Coated abrasives are the products that apply an adhesive on a flexible substrate, usually paper, cloth, or film, for abrasive materials. Coated abrasives are designed to perform finishing, grinding, polishing, and deburring in any industry, be it automobile, manufacturing, metalwork, or woodworking industries. In this case, the substrate is covered uniformly with adhesive grains, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, or zirconia. Coated abrasives come in different forms such as belts, discs, rolls, and sheets, and provide flexibility for use in diverse applications. The most important benefit is their ability to give a smooth finish with high precision on materials from metals to plastics. Furthermore, the growth in the market for coated abrasives has been driven by the increase in demand for precision manufacturing processes, mainly in the automotive and metalworking industries. The increased automobile, machinery, and consumer goods productions have created a demand for high-performance abrasives that could provide finer finishing and material removal capabilities. Apart from this, the market for coated abrasives expands on account of the technological advancement of abrasive materials and coatings with the increased use of coated abrasives in industries such as aerospace and electronics. However, the coated abrasives market faces challenges from fluctuating raw material prices, which can impact production costs. Additionally, competition from alternative abrasive technologies, such as non-woven abrasives and diamond abrasives, may hinder market growth.
The aluminum oxide segment is predicted to hold the greatest market share through the forecast period.
Based on the type, the coated abrasives market is classified into aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, zirconia aluminum oxide, ceramic aluminum oxide, garnet, and emery. Among these, the aluminum oxide segment is predicted to hold the greatest market share through the forecast period. Aluminum oxide is widely used due to its excellent hardness and durability, besides being cost-effective. This highly effective abrasive material is used for several applications, including automotive glass, smartphone displays, and other electronic devices that require scratch resistance. With such versatility and resistance to harsh conditions, while maintaining clarity, aluminum oxide is a preferred choice in the production of scratch-resistant glass.
The metalworking segment is anticipated to hold the greatest market share during the projected timeframe.
Based on the application, the coated abrasives market is divided into metalworking, woodworking, automotive, electronic & semiconductors, aerospace & defense, and others. Among these, the smartphones & tablets segment is anticipated to hold the greatest market share during the projected timeframe. This is attributed to coated abrasives' high demand in metal working applications like grinding, polishing, and finishing of metal surfaces. In this direction, the largest driving growth factor for the coated abrasive market is the metalworking sector, which also encompasses production, automotive, aerospace, and construction. These sectors require more precision and better finishes while manufacturing metal products.
Asia-Pacific is estimated to hold the largest coated abrasives market share over the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific is estimated to hold the largest coated abrasives market share over the forecast period. Infrastructure upgradation, growing investments in the manufacturing sector, and increasing production of electric vehicles in the region's developing countries are likely to propel market growth during the forecast period. Potential markets for abrasives are in Southeast Asian countries.
North America is predicted to have the fastest CAGR growth in the coated abrasives market over the forecast period. This is due to the increasing product demand from the aerospace, defense, and automotive industries. The region's increased focus on EV production and the resumption of aircraft manufacturing operations are expected to be favorable for market growth in the coming years, except for the pandemic-induced decline in 2020. Moreover, the U.S.-coated abrasives market accounted for the largest market share, and the Canada-coated abrasives market was the fastest-growing market in the North America region.
