Press Release

India Coated Abrasives Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 6.60% through 2030F

The increasing India coated abrasives market is driven by rising demand from the automotive sector, growth in metal fabrication and construction sectors during the forecast period 2026-2030F.


According to TechSci Research report, “India Coated Abrasives Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F, The India Coated Abrasives Market was valued at USD 147.78 Million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 218.80 Million by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.60% during the forecast period. The automotive industry is one of the largest consumers of coated abrasives in India, driven by increasing vehicle production and rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs). With India emerging as a global manufacturing hub for automobiles, major players such as Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, and Mahindra & Mahindra are expanding their production capacities. This growth has led to a surge in demand for coated abrasives used in vehicle bodywork, polishing, engine component manufacturing, and surface finishing.

Additionally, the Indian government’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the automotive and auto components sector is expected to further drive investments and production. With EV adoption gaining traction, components such as battery enclosures, aluminum casings, and composite materials require precision finishing, thereby increasing the demand for high-performance coated abrasives.

Another key factor contributing to this trend is the rising focus on automated and robotic manufacturing in automotive production. Advanced coated abrasives play a crucial role in automated grinding and polishing processes, ensuring uniform surface treatment, reducing production time, and improving efficiency. Furthermore, the push for lightweight materials, such as aluminum and composites, in vehicle manufacturing has increased the need for specialized coated abrasives that offer high durability and precision.

With the Indian automotive industry projected to continue its upward trajectory, coated abrasives manufacturers are focusing on innovation to develop products that cater to evolving industry requirements. High-performance abrasives, including ceramic-based and superabrasives, are gaining popularity due to their extended lifespan and superior cutting ability. As automakers increasingly prioritize sustainability and efficiency, the demand for eco-friendly coated abrasives with lower environmental impact is also rising.

In 2024, Based on type, Silicon Carbide is the fastest growing segment in the India Coated Abrasives Market in coming period, primarily due to its exceptional hardness, superior thermal conductivity, and high wear resistance, making it a preferred choice for demanding industrial applications. The growing adoption of SiC-coated abrasives across industries such as automotive, aerospace, metal fabrication, and electronics has fueled its market dominance.

One of the key factors driving SiC's preference is its sharp, friable nature, allowing for fast material removal and consistent performance in high-pressure applications. Unlike aluminum oxide, SiC maintains its cutting ability over prolonged use, making it ideal for grinding and finishing hard materials like ceramics, glass, stone, and non-ferrous metals. This makes it particularly valuable in precision machining, surface preparation, and polishing applications where efficiency and durability are crucial.

The automotive industry, a major end-user of coated abrasives, extensively relies on SiC-based abrasives for bodywork, paint preparation, and component finishing. With India's automobile production expanding rapidly, fueled by government initiatives like “Make in India” and PLI schemes, demand for high-performance abrasives has surged. Additionally, the electronics sector, which requires precision finishing for semiconductors and circuit boards, has increasingly adopted SiC abrasives due to their ability to deliver ultra-fine surface finishes.

Moreover, technological advancements in SiC production, leading to improved durability and cost-efficiency, have further solidified its market position. Manufacturers are focusing on eco-friendly SiC abrasives to align with sustainability trends, thereby expanding their market share.

With rising industrialization, infrastructure development, and an increasing need for precision surface finishing, Silicon Carbide continues to be the dominant coated abrasive type in India, offering unmatched efficiency and versatility across multiple high-growth industries.

Based on region, North India is the fastest growing region in the India Coated Abrasives Market during the forecast period, due to rapid industrialization, infrastructure expansion, and the strong presence of automotive, metal fabrication, and woodworking industries. The region’s economic growth, supported by government initiatives such as "Make in India" and Smart Cities Mission, has fueled demand for coated abrasives in construction, manufacturing, and metalworking applications. States like Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Rajasthan are emerging as key industrial hubs, driving higher consumption of coated abrasives across multiple sectors.

The automotive industry, a major consumer of coated abrasives, is expanding significantly in North India, with major automobile manufacturing clusters in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Companies such as Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp, and Honda have large production facilities in the region, increasing demand for coated abrasives in vehicle body finishing, surface treatment, and polishing applications. Additionally, the rise in aftermarket automotive repairs further accelerates coated abrasive consumption.

North India is also witnessing a boom in metal fabrication and machinery manufacturing, driven by increasing investments in engineering and capital goods sectors. The growth of MSMEs (Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises) in cities like Ludhiana, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad has strengthened regional demand for coated abrasives in metal cutting, grinding, and surface finishing applications.

Furthermore, the construction industry in North India is expanding rapidly, with large-scale residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. The use of coated abrasives in woodworking, stone polishing, and flooring applications is rising as a result. The availability of raw materials, improving logistics, and increasing adoption of advanced abrasives also contribute to North India’s leadership in market growth. With ongoing industrial advancements and strong regional demand, North India is poised to maintain its fast growth trajectory in the coated abrasives market.
