Non-woven Abrasives Market Size & Trends:
The global non-woven abrasives market size was estimated at USD 1.54 billion in 2023 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% over the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the increasing requirement for superior surface finishes in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics. Non-woven abrasives, known for their ability to provide consistent surface finishing without excessive material removal, are gaining preference for applications like paint preparation, polishing, and deburring in these industries.
The metalworking industry is a major consumer of non-woven abrasives, which are used for tasks such as deburring, surface preparation, and polishing. The flexible nature of non-woven abrasives, which conforms to complex surfaces, makes them essential in sectors like aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding, where high precision is crucial. As industries push for higher-quality finishes, this is expected to increase product demand.
Non-woven abrasives are becoming more popular for household applications like cleaning, polishing, and light surface finishing. The rise in DIY home projects during the pandemic has further boosted demand in the household sector. Furthermore, non-woven abrasives are often more sustainable than other abrasive products because they can be washed and reused multiple times, reducing waste. Industries looking to adopt environmentally friendly practices see non-woven abrasives as a viable alternative to single-use products.
Although non-woven abrasives are ideal for surface finishing and polishing, they are generally less aggressive than traditional bonded abrasives. In applications requiring significant material removal, such as heavy industrial grinding, they may not be as effective, which can restrict their use in certain sectors. In addition to this, non-woven abrasives tend to be more expensive than conventional abrasives like sandpaper. This higher cost can be a limiting factor for industries with tight budget constraints, particularly for large-scale operations where abrasives are used in bulk.
Innovations in the composition and structure of non-woven abrasives are creating opportunities for more durable and efficient products. These innovations can help bridge the performance gap between non-woven and traditional abrasives, especially in heavy-duty applications. Furthermore, with the rise of automation in industries, there is a growing demand for abrasive materials compatible with high-efficiency automated systems. Non-woven abrasives, which offer consistent performance in automated systems, are poised to benefit from this trend.
