Global Grinding Vulcanized Fiber Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Grinding Vulcanized Fiber market size is predicted to grow from US$ 325 million in 2025 to US$ 431 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2026 to 2032.
Grinding Vulcanized Fiber is a specialized, rigid cellulose-based material primarily used as the backing substrate for abrasive grinding discs, commonly known as "vulcanized fibre discs" or "fibre backing discs". It is made from cotton or wood pulp treated with zinc chloride solution to form a dense, homogeneous board with exceptional strength and toughness. Its key function is to provide a durable, yet slightly flexible base that can be securely bonded with synthetic resins to abrasive grains like silicon carbide or aluminum oxide, creating grinding tools for surface finishing on metals and other materials. This backing material is valued for its reliability and safety in high-speed grinding operations.
In 2025, global production of Grinding Vulcanized Fiber reached 62,200 tons, with an average selling price of US$5,334 per ton. Typical single-line capacity is approximately 1,000-5,000 tons, and the industry's gross profit margin is approximately 5%-15%. Cost structure: direct materials account for approximately 80%, manufacturing costs approximately 15%, and labor costs approximately 5%. Industry chain: upstream consists of raw materials such as pulp, waste paper, and zinc sulfide; downstream industries include metal processing, automobile manufacturing, and furniture manufacturing.
