Abstract

US abrasive demand to reach $5.3 billion in 2011

Demand for abrasives in the US is forecast to increase 2.3 percent per annum through 2011 to $5.3 billion, with raw material demand approaching $1.4 billion. Advances will be supported by robust growth in the aerospace sector, as investment in military aircraft continues to expand. Gains will also be aided by the upturn in shipments of electrical and electronic products through 2011, which are expected to recover from the declines of the 2001-2006 period. Motor vehicle production is also projected to recover from its previous declines, spurring demand for abrasives utilized in motor vehicle applications. Demand for abrasives will be somewhat restrained, on the other hand, by a slowdown in shipments of a number of manufactured durable goods through 2011, namely machinery, metalworking and furniture and wood products.

Electronics, aerospace to support durable goods manufacturing market The share of the durable goods manufacturing

market in total abrasives demand is expected to decrease slightly through 2011, as shipments of a number of these goods are expected to moderate from the 2001-2006 pace. Further declines in this share will be prevented by the continual increase in use of the chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process in electronic component production. CMP processes entail the increased use of expensive nanometer-sized abrasive grains, which are required due to the extremely small circuit line widths on semiconductors. Rapid growth in the aerospace and other transportation segment will also benefit demand in the durable goods sector. The cleaning and maintenance market will register above- average growth through 2011, while demand in the other market segment will be buoyed by healthy gains in abrasives utilized in cosmetics and toiletries.
