The Global Abrasive Paper Market size is expected to reach $6.1 billion by 2031, rising at a market growth of 4.2% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2023, the market attained a volume of 5,156.28 kilo tonnes, experiencing a growth of 19.08% (2020-2023).

Abrasive paper is essential for preparing automotive surfaces before polishing. It helps to remove imperfections such as scratches, swirl marks, and paint defects, ensuring a smooth and uniform surface for polishing. Hence, the automotive polishing segment garnered 22% revenue share in the market in 2023. In terms of volume, 1,340.96 kilo tonnes of Abrasive paper is expected to be utilized in automotive polishing by the year 2031. Automotive polishing often involves paint correction to remove defects and restore the glossy finish of the paintwork. Abrasive paper is used for wet or dry sanding to level the paint surface, remove orange peel texture, and eliminate deep scratches.



Industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and precision engineering demand high-performance abrasives to meet stringent precision, accuracy, and surface quality requirements. High-performance abrasive paper products are crucial for attaining precise measurements, narrow tolerances, and flawless surface textures in vital components and parts, necessitating superior cutting, grinding, and finishing capabilities. Hence, the rising demand for high-performance abrasives drives the market’s growth.

Additionally, Industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and precision engineering have stringent requirements for surface quality in their products. These industries demand smooth, uniform, and defect-free surfaces to meet quality standards, specifications, and customer expectations. Abrasive paper plays a critical role in achieving the desired surface finishes, dimensional accuracy, and aesthetic appeal required by these industries. Therefore, the rising focus on surface quality propels the market’s growth.

However, Abrasive paper relies on various raw materials such as abrasives (like aluminum oxide or silicon carbide), adhesives, backing materials (like paper or cloth), and additional additives. The prices of these raw materials can fluctuate due to changes in supply and demand, currency exchange rates, geopolitical factors, and environmental regulations. Sudden spikes in the cost of raw materials can increase production expenses for abrasive paper manufacturers, potentially leading to higher product prices. This, in turn, might deter consumers from purchasing abrasive paper or force manufacturers to accept lower profit margins. Hence, the price volatility of raw materials is hindering the market’s growth.
