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.
