The non-woven abrasives market from the transportation sector is predicted to reach USD 880 million by 2032. Many industrial production processes, such as automotive & transportation, home goods manufacturing, OEM parts & components for different machinery and equipment pieces, and so on heavily rely on metalworking & surface finishing operations. Favorable efforts by government bodies to propel the transportation sector are likely to bolster product adoption. For instance, in August 2022, the U.S. government awarded more than USD 49 million for innovative technologies grants to improve mobility and travel on America’s transit system.
Based on product, the discs segment is poised to register gains at around 6% through 2032 led by the efficient capability of discs to remove surface defects, light edge burs, flashing, rust, oxides, corrosion, parting lines scale, and paint as compared to counterparts such as hand pads & rolls, belts, rolls, and wheels. They remove rust deposits and other residuals easily, making them ideal for the preparation of plastics, concrete, metals, fiberglass, and wood. Additionally, the ease of cutting hardened steel with the help of abrasive discs is providing lucrative opportunities for product adoption.
APAC non-woven abrasives market is slated to cross USD 1.4 billion by 2032 attributed to the booming manufacturing industry in APAC countries. Favorable economic changes, supportive government policies, and improvements in surface finishing technology are fueling industrial sector. The majority of metal components & equipment are produced using subtractive manufacturing techniques based on the highly controlled removal of undesirable materials, which is foreseen to influence market progression.
