Study #: 2291 Published: 12/2007 Pages: 312 Full Study Price: US$ 4,500 Per Page Price: US$ 30.00 Abrasives to 2011 - Market Research, Market Share, Market Size, Sales, Demand Forecast, Market Leaders, Company Profiles, Industry Trends US abrasives demand will reach $5.3 billion in 2011 based on strength in the electrical/electronic product, motor vehicle and aerospace sectors. Nonmetallic abrasives will outperform metallic types. Raw material demand will be led by manufactured minerals such as manufactured diamond, cubic boron nitride and other superabrasives. This study analyzes the US abrasives industry. It presents historical demand data (1996, 2001, 2006) and forecasts for the years 2011 and 2016 by raw material (e.g., superabrasives, alumina-based materials, specialty silica, silicon carbide, silica sand, garnet, pumice); product (e.g., coated, bonded, loose grains and powders, steel wool, steel and iron grit); and market. The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 34 major players including 3M, Saint-Gobain, Sandvik, Husqvarna, TYROLIT, Cabot Microelectronics, Church & Dwight, Ervin Industries, Global Material Technologies, Jason, Radiac Abrasives, and United Abrasives.
