Download Report Sample to Unlock the Super Abrasives Market Size for the Forecast Period and Other Important Statistics
The rising demand from the electronics and transportation industries is notably driving the super abrasives market growth, although factors such as stringent government regulations may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the super abrasives industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help deduce end goals and refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Super Abrasives Market Driver
The rising demand from the electronics and transportation industries is one of the major drivers impacting the super abrasives market growth. The demand for super abrasives such as cubic boron nitride from the electronics industry is rising because of their low cost and their ability to deliver superior finishes. Super abrasives are used in the consumer goods industry for polishing fiber-optic connectors and finishing semiconductors and electronic devices. An increase in the sales of consumer durables, especially in developing regions such as APAC and Latin America, has contributed to the growth of the global super abrasives market. The transportation industry includes a broad range of sub-industries, including shipping trucking, airlines, parcel delivery, and railroads. Super abrasives are used extensively in the transportation industry for finishing and grinding. Urbanization and increased spending power of consumers in emerging economies has led to the rapid growth of the global automobile industry in the last decade. Thus, the rising number of vehicle production will increase the demand for super abrasives from the automotive industry, which is anticipated to fuel the growth of the global super abrasives market during the forecast period.
Key Super Abrasives Market Trend
The development of advanced machinery is one of the major trends influencing the super abrasives market growth. Cutting tools are made from hard materials to enhance their performance and efficiency while retaining their original shape and sharp edges. For the same reason, grinding wheels were in great demand from the cutting tool industry. However, characteristics such as the superior finishing of super abrasives and their low cost have led to an increase in demand from end-users in the cutting tool industry. Innovations in coated abrasive products for such applications and the development of advanced machinery that supports the use of super abrasives in cutting tool applications are expected to drive the demand for super abrasives, which will fuel the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Key Super Abrasives Market Challenge
Stringent government regulations are one of the major challenges impeding the super abrasives market growth. Silicon carbide is known to pose health hazards to people. Prolonged exposure to it can cause chronic lung diseases and affect lung functions. Most countries in developed regions such as North America and Western Europe have imposed restrictions on the use of silicon carbide in super abrasives. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the US has regulated that airborne exposure to silicon carbide must be limited to 15 mg per cubic meter in its dust form and 5 mg per cubic meter in its inhalable form during an eight-hour work period. Similarly, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has regulated that silicon carbide exposure should be limited to 10 mg per cubic meter in its dust form and 5 mg per cubic meter in its inhalable form during an extended ten-hour work period. Such stringent regulations and the inclusion of silicon carbide on the list of hazardous substances are expected to hinder the growth of the global super abrasives market during the forecast period.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
The outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected the growth of the super abrasives market in APAC during the first half of 2020. Industrial activities such as manufacturing, consumer goods, and construction were halted. This disrupted the supply chains for various industries and lowered their production capacity. This led to a considerable fall in demand for super abrasives in the region. However, the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary as, by the end of 2021, most people living in developing nations in APAC are expected to get fully vaccinated. This will lead to a decline in the number of COVID-19 cases. Also, governments in the region have announced various initiatives to bring their respective economies back on the growth path. Hence, it is expected the regional super abrasives market will witness growth during the forecast period.
