This study examines global supply and demand for abrasives. Historical data (2013, 2018 and 2023) and forecasts for 2028 and 2033 are provided for abrasives demand by product and market, net exports, and shipments on a country-by-country basis. Annual data from 2020-2027 are also presented.
Demand by product and market is presented in dollar terms. Demand in value terms is shown at the manufacturers’ level and excludes distributor and retailer markups. Demand totals at the country level are also presented in local currency terms.
Demand forecasts are also presented for abrasives raw materials on a country-by-country basis. At the global level, abrasives raw materials demand is segmented into manufactured minerals, natural minerals, and metallic materials.
Data from the US Census Bureau were consulted in the preparation of this study, and a list of related codes is presented here for informational purposes. However, these codes may not include all products covered in this report or may exclude some products of interest and the data have thus been adjusted accordingly.
Abrasives are segmented into:
- nonmetallic coated abrasives
- nonmetallic bonded abrasives
- nonmetallic loose abrasive grains and powders
- metallic abrasives
Abrasives demand by market is presented for durable goods manufacturing, cleaning and maintenance, and other markets. The durable goods manufacturing market is further segmented into:
- machinery
- transportation equipment
- electrical and electronic equipment
- fabricated metals
- other durable goods, such as primary metals, nonmetallic mineral products, and furniture and wood products
