Global Zirconia Grinding Media Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Zirconia Grinding Media market size is predicted to grow from US$ 797 million in 2025 to US$ 1252 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2026 to 2032.
Global sales of zirconia grinding media reached 57,000 tons in 2025, with an average price of US$14,235 per ton.
Zirconia (YSZ) grinding media is the most durable and efficient media for ball milling and attrition milling of ceramic materials. Zirconia grinding media provides a virtually contamination-free ball milling solution for a variety of industries.
Over 94% of the raw material costs come from high-purity ZrO₂ powder and Y₂O₃ stabilizers. ZrO₂ powder costs 60,000–80,000 RMB/t, and Y₂O₃ costs approximately 250,000–300,000 RMB/t, together accounting for 90% of the raw material expenditure per ton of beads. The remainder consists of dispersants, binders, sintering energy consumption, and labor, with manufacturing costs accounting for 10–12%. The gross profit margin is 20–25%, and fluctuations in zirconium powder prices are the most sensitive variable to profitability.
