What strategic initiatives by market players are driving abrasives industry growth?
The growing electrical vehicle (EV) industry is expected to propel the growth of the abrasives market. An electric vehicle (EV) uses an electric motor and is charged at electric stations rather than internal combustion. This upswing is coupled with the compelling need to populate the huge worldwide road network with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, as the meteoric rise of the electric car shows every indication of lasting far into the future. As a result, demand for stainless steel (and the abrasives needed to finish it) to provide numerous electric vehicle charging stations is expected to grow for years. In almost all circumstances, stainless steel will need at least one abrasive treatment to finish before it can be used in any significant fashion in the real world. Every stainless-steel weld, necessitates some degree of grinding and polishing. For instance, in April 2024, according to the report published by the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, nearly 14 million electric cars were sold globally in 2023, marking a 35% increase from 2022. Electric cars accounted for approximately 18% of all new car sales in 2023, up from 14% in 2022 and only 2% in 2018. The total number of electric cars on the road reached 40 million by the end of 2023. Therefore, a rise in the electric vehicle industry is driving the growth of abrasives market.
