The precision grinding wheels market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.56 billion in 2025 to $1.61 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in metal fabrication industries, expansion of automotive manufacturing, demand for tight tolerance machining, adoption of cnc grinding machines, increased use of hardened materials.
The precision grinding wheels market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.85 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle component machining demand, growth of precision machinery production, rising adoption of advanced materials, increased automation in grinding processes, demand for high-efficiency manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for high-precision grinding solutions, growing adoption of superabrasive grinding wheels, increased use in automotive and bearing manufacturing, expansion of customized grinding wheel formulations, focus on longer wheel life and consistent surface finish.
The expansion of the automotive industry is expected to drive the growth of the precision grinding wheels market going forward. The automotive industry refers to the sector involved in the development, production, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles, including automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, and other vehicles. The expansion of this industry is driven by the increasing demand for advanced, high-performance vehicles that offer improved efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability. Precision grinding wheels are extensively used in the automotive sector to achieve high accuracy, smooth surface finishes, and tight tolerances in the manufacturing of critical components. These wheels play an essential role in producing and finishing various parts, ensuring vehicle performance, reliability, and safety. For example, in January 2025, according to the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE), an Australia-based government transport statistics agency, the total number of registered motor vehicles reached 22.3 million. Electrified vehicles experienced strong growth, with approximately 259,710 battery- and fuel-cell electric vehicles (BEVs and FCEVs) and 709,100 hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs). Therefore, the expansion of the automotive industry is supporting the growth of the precision grinding wheels market.
Major companies operating in the precision grinding wheels market are focused on developing innovative abrasives equipped with anti-chipping technology to enhance durability, improve performance, and reduce material waste during grinding processes. Anti-chipping technology is a specialized innovation designed to prevent the formation of chips, cracks, or fractures on the surface of materials during cutting, grinding, or other abrasive processes, thereby improving the durability and quality of the final product. For instance, in June 2023, Weiler Abrasives Group, a US-based company, launched Tiger 2 zirconia alumina and aluminum oxide cutting, grinding, and combo wheels, abrasives featuring anti-chipping technology. The Tiger 2 wheels are engineered to last up to 40% longer than traditional wheels, significantly improving operational efficiency by reducing the frequency of wheel changes during cutting and grinding tasks. A patent-pending feature, the Optimum Use Line, provides a visual indicator that helps users determine the best angle and method for using the wheel, ensuring optimal performance and safety during operation.
