North America Abrasive Market Overview

North America holds extensive growth opportunities for abrasive manufacturers owing to the increasing demand from end-use industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, electrical & electronics, energy, semiconductor, and metalworking. The manufacturing sector plays a pivotal role, as abrasives are essential in various industrial processes such as metal fabrication, automotive production, and machinery manufacturing. The region's robust manufacturing industry, driven by technological advancements and innovation, contributes significantly to the demand for abrasives. In addition, the construction and infrastructure development in North America contributes to the demand for abrasives. The construction sector in North America is rapidly developing due to a robust economy and increased federal and state financing for public works and institutional structures. Rapid development and urbanization are also driving the North American abrasive market. According to a report released by the US Census Bureau, the value of total construction (private and public) investment in 2023 was US$ 1,978.7 billion, a 7% increase from investments in 2022 of US$ 1,848.7 billion. The use of abrasive in applications involving surface preparation, concrete polishing, and stone cutting is crucial in the construction sector. As the region experiences continuous growth and urbanization, the demand for abrasives in construction activities is likely to remain high. In North America, passenger vehicles are the most common mode of transportation, and their use is increasing with the rise in per capita income. According to the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), vehicle production in North America increased by 10%, from ~13.5 million in 2021 to 14.8 million vehicles in 2022. As the automotive sector expands, there is a parallel increase in the demand for abrasives, which are utilized to remove paint and rust and polish or smooth surfaces. In addition, according to the International Energy Agency, electric car sales accounted for 630,000 in 2021. In addition, according to the International Energy Agency, between August 2022 (when the Inflation Reduction Act was passed) and March 2023, major electric vehicle and battery makers announced investments totaling a minimum of US$ 52 billion in electric vehicle supply chains in North America. Technological advancements are increasing the adoption of abrasive tools in various sectors, including electronics, aerospace, and healthcare. Governments of countries in North America have significantly invested in technology and research programs in the aerospace & defense sector. The region is a hub for major aircraft, aircraft components, and defense equipment manufacturing companies such as Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Boeing, GE Aviation, Bombardier Inc., and Lockheed Martin Corporation. Abrasives play a crucial role in the manufacturing process of aerospace and defense components, where precision and quality are paramount. The need for lightweight, high-strength materials in aircraft and defense systems necessitates advanced machining and finishing techniques, further driving the demand for specialized abrasives.
