Sanding Block Market Growth Accelerated by Increasing Demand from Manufacturing Industry
Sanding blocks are used to smooth wood surfaces and remove
excess material during wood finishing or repair processes. They consist of a
resin-bonded abrasive paper or cloth attached to a wood or plastic backing for
uniform pressure distribution. Sanding blocks enable precise sanding of flat
and contoured surfaces as compared to loose abrasive papers. They produce
better surface finishes and are safer to handle.
The global Sanding Block
Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 450 million in 2023 and is expected to
exhibit a CAGR of 3.5% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a
new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The increasing demand from the manufacturing industry is one of the key trends
accelerating the growth of the sanding block market. Sanding blocks are
extensively used in woodworking, furniture manufacturing, shipbuilding, and
automotive industries for smoothing surfaces and achieving the desired finish.
They provide better control and consistency during sanding operations as
compared to other hand sanding tools. The growth of various end-use
manufacturing sectors globally has directly increased the demand for precision
surface finishing tools like sanding blocks. Moreover, the rising commercial
and infrastructure construction activities have also augmented the sales of
sanding blocks for wood finishing during construction works.
Segment Analysis
The global sanding block market is dominated by the low grit and high grit
segment. Within these, the low grit segment accounts for the major share owing
to its suitability for coarse sanding applications that require fast material
removal. Some key areas where low grit sanding blocks are used include
woodworking, metalworking, automotive repair and ceramic tile finishing.
