Market Overview:
The global nonwoven abrasives market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for nonwoven abrasives in various applications, such as automotive, metalworking, and other applications. In terms of type, the flap wheels segment is expected to lead the global nonwoven abrasives market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to their high efficiency and low cost as compared to other types of nonwoven abrasives. In terms of region, North America is expected to lead the global nonwoven abrasives market during the forecast period owing to its large automotive industry and growing metalworking sector.
Product Definition:
Nonwoven Abrasives are materials that have been processed to create a fabric-like product. This product can be used as an abrasive for various purposes, including sanding and polishing. Nonwoven Abrasives often provide a more consistent finish than traditional sandpaper, and they can be used on a variety of surfaces.
Flap Wheels:
Flap wheels are used in the nonwoven abrasives market as they offer high-quality surface finish and possess superior durability. The growing demand for advanced flap wheel products with low coarseness factor is expected to drive the growth of this market over the forecast period.
The increasing usage of these products in applications such as metal, automotive, engineering plastics, glass and paper is anticipated to propel their demand over the next seven years.
Convolute Wheels:
Convolute wheels are used in the manufacturing of abrasive products such as nonwoven abrasives. These wheels consist of a series of concentric and radial wear rings, which are mounted on a common hub. The number and position of these rings can be changed to provide different configurations for performing tasks such as polishing or grinding. These wheels find application in various industries including automotive, aerospace & defense, electronics, construction equipment etc.
Application Insights:
The automotive application segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2017 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Nonwoven abrasives are used as an integral part of a tire manufacturing process, which includes the production of rubber components. The growing importance of nonwoven abrasives in tire manufacturing is expected to drive their demand from 2018 to 2030.
Nonwoven abrasives are also used extensively in metaling applications including cutting tools, discs, tiles and bars among others. These products help reduce metal loss during machining operations by providing consistent wear resistance across alloys and metals while reducing metal chips generated during machining operations without increasing cost per unit area or weight compared with conventional grinding wheels or knives. Increasing demand for these products from various industries including construction & building materials, industrial machinery & equipment manufacturers along with rising penetration rates are anticipated to fuel product demand over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest market for global nonwoven abrasives in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to increasing automotive production in countries such as India, China, Japan, and South Korea. In addition, rising metal cutting applications across various end-use industries are anticipated to drive product demand over the next eight years.
The Asia Pacific nonwoven abrasives industry accounted for a share of more than 30% in 2016 owing to high automotive production coupled with growing industrialization across key emerging economies including India and China. However, recent slowdown in manufacturing activities due to economic uncertainties may hamper market growth during the forecast period from 2017 to 2030 (ref).
North America is expected witness significant growth on account of increasing use of non-woven products as they provide superior results when compared with other materials used for same purpose (ref).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using nonwoven abrasives over traditional abrasives
- Rising investments in research and development to develop new and innovative products
- Growing popularity of environmentally friendly products
- Expansion of distribution channels to reach a wider customer base
