USGS released in 2012 yearbook mineral products has been talked about in the past few years, global demand for abrasives to an annual rate of 6 percent is growing, and is expected in the future will be the same rate continues to grow.
For a long time, China is the largest producer of corundum and silicon carbide, respectively, the annual output of 695,000 tons and 450,000 tons in.2011, production of corundum and silicon carbide Asia-Pacific region (China, India, Japan and Australia) maximum, respectively, 815,000 tons and 520,000 tons.
Also in 2011, the second largest producer of corundum and silicon carbide regions in Europe (Austria, Norway, France, Germany), respectively, 180,000 tons and 132,000 tons.
Due to the relatively high operating costs, yields the United States and Canada is relatively low. 2011, the two countries plus Mexico, corundum and silicon carbide abrasive production was 60,400 tons and 87,000 tons in.
South America (Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela) and the North American production close, corundum and silicon carbide production is 50,000 tons, respectively, and 7.8 million tons.
The remaining 80,000 tons and 190,000 tons of silicon carbide corundum comes from globally dispersed relatively small producers.
Although garnet, emery and is gradually replaced by metal abrasive corundum and silicon carbide in some areas, but corundum and silicon carbide industry will continue to maintain this trend.
In 2010 to 2011, the United States 80 percent of natural silicon carbide are imported, 83% of natural corundum, 42% and 6% of silicon carbide abrasive corundum abrasives are from China. The United States imports from Brazil, the number of corundum abrasives more, accounting for 30 percent of total imports of corundum.
UK market observation made in 2014 the global abrasives market research report pointed out that in the coming years as the economy recovers, demand in North America and Western Europe is expected to abrasives to an annual rate of 4% and 2%, respectively continues to grow.
The Asia-Pacific region abrasives market before 2017 as a whole also showed a slow upward trend. Of which 10% of the annual growth rate of China may last longer.
With the development of Asian and non-Western regions and the gradual maturation of their durable goods industries, the overall demand for abrasives in these areas will surpass the United States, Western Europe and Japan.
Product development trends
According to the American market research company Linx-Consulting is expected to be used in multi-process computer processing specialty abrasives market is expected to grow 10% annual growth rate.
According to the British Market Watch reported in July 2014, in the next few years, the growth rate of coated abrasives market, followed by the metal abrasives and superhard materials market. The fastest growing non-metallic abrasives, abrasive and especially freedom powder.
As the economy recovers, the global import, export and consumption quantity and the cost of manufacturing abrasives abrasives will have slow growth. Overall, the abrasives industry is continuing to take a good development trend.
