Market Overview:
The global polishing grade alumina market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for alumina in various applications, such as metal polishing, paint polishing, brake pads, and others. In terms of type, the very soft type segment is expected to lead the global market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its properties such as low abrasion and good surface finish. In terms of application, metal polishing is expected to lead the global market during the forecast period owing to its growing demand from end-use industries such as automotive and aerospace.
Product Definition:
Polishing Grade Alumina is a precision ceramic material used for polishing and finishing optical surfaces. It produces a very smooth surface finish and is especially effective at removing scratches and subsurface damage.
Very Soft Type:
The very soft type is a group of alumina with particle size less than 60 nm. It has low density and specific surface area, which results in lower hardness as compared to the standard or hard type.
Soft Type:
Soft type is a term used for alumina with low hardness. It has been traditionally used in polishing grade alumina market as it provides high polish efficiency and also helps to reduce the overall time of polishing process. Soft type can be differentiated from hard by applying pressure between them; if they yield easily then it is soft, if not then it is hard.
Polishing grade aluminas are produced majorly using two techniques namely primary.
Application Insights:
The metal polishing application segment dominated the global market in 2017. It is anticipated to witness a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period owing to rising demand for precision machined products from various end-use industries, such as automotive and medical devices. In addition, increasing investments by companies in developing countries with cheap labor pools are expected to drive growth over the coming years.
Polishing grades of alumina are widely used for grinding and buffing operations in metal polish applications across all major regions due to its superior properties including high stability against heat & chemical wear and tear along with being non-corrosive & non-oxidizing when dry or wetted with oils/lubricants etc.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The regional growth can be attributed to increasing industrialization, rising per capita income, and growing population. China is one of the largest producers as well as consumers of polishing products globally. Increasing investments by domestic companies for research & development activities coupled with government support are likely to drive industry expansion over the coming years.
The European market also accounted for a significant share in terms of volume consumed in 2017 owing to high demand from automotive industries across Germany, France, Italy, UK and Russia among other Eastern European countries that use polishing compounds on a regular basis for metal surface rejuvenation processes resulting into higher product consumption trends observed during this year alone.
North America emerged as another key consumer due to presence of numerous automotive manufacturers including Ford Motors Co., General Motors Co.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical
- Growing adoption of alumina in polishing applications owing to its superior properties
- Rising investments by key players in R&D to develop new and innovative products
- Expansion of global manufacturing capacities by leading players
- Growing popularity of alumina nanoparticles for advanced applications
