Out of the sand trap: An expected upswing in housing investment will pull the industry from the ditch
Abrasive & Sandpaper Manufacturing in the US
Rough around the edges
Improved production across the total manufacturing sector is expected to support the expansion in demand for abrasive products from the middle of the five year period to 2016. However, demand conditions will vary significantly across the key downstream markets. The demand for abrasives in the building and construction market is projected to average solid growth, stemming from the cyclical recovery in the housing market and continued solid demand from the highway construction market, and the gradual upswing in the commercial building market from 2012.
Industry firms manufacture natural or synthetic abrasive products such as: grinding wheels; coated or bonded materials; sandpaper; and other abrasives. Abrasive products are made from a variety of raw materials (e.g. diamonds, garnet, and silica sand); manufactured minerals (e.g. fused alumina and silicon carbide); super abrasives (e.g. synthetic diamond); and metal abrasives (e.g. steel shot, grit and sand).
This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
