The global abrasives market size is expected to reach USD 59.34 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. Abrasive materials are used for grinding and polishing a substrate such as wood and metal. They are available in natural or synthetic form and possess properties such as purity, hardness, and brittleness.

Synthetic products are less expensive and perform the grinding and polishing process much better and faster than the natural ones, thus reducing the overall cost. It is for this reason artificial materials are gaining an edge over the natural ones, which include garnet, corundum, and emery.

Aluminum oxide, cubic carbon nitride, and synthetic diamond are various grains used for abrasive production. Several types of minerals, glues, resins, and backings are used to produce different products. These minerals are bonded with various agents and are deposited on cloth or paper to form coated abrasives. Superabrasives are another type of products that are used when hard materials require high quality surface finish.

Leading manufacturers include Noritake Co., Inc, Saint-Gobain S.A., The 3M Company, Henan Huanghe Whirlwind Co., Ltd, and TYROLIT Schleifmittelwerke Swarovski K.G. They manufacture products to serve various end-user sectors such as aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, retail, and furniture & wood working markets.
