South & Central America Abrasive Market Overview



The abrasive market growth in South & Central America is attributed to the surging industrial activities across the region, ranging from manufacturing to mining. According to the International Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), the total number of vehicles manufactured in South & Central America grew from ~2.72 million in 2021 to ~2.96 million in 2022, registering an increase of 9%. In addition, rising car ownership due to increased spending power and higher living standards fuel the market for automotive refinishes. Moreover, major market players in the automotive sector have strategized development and expansion of their operational capacities in South & Central America to tap the lucrative automotive market. In 2022, Audi AG invested US$ 19.2 million to restart production at its plant in Parana, Brazil, registering a capacity of 4,000 vehicles per year. The rise in passenger car production is the prime factor driving the abrasive market in the region. As South & Central America becomes an important hub for automobile manufacturing, a greater number of precision tools and abrasives will be required for shaping and finishing metal components in the production of vehicles. Abrasives play a pivotal role in achieving the necessary level of precision and quality, thereby supporting the region's automotive growth.

In South & Central America, "Jubarte Offshore Oil Field Development" and "Pre-Salt Submarine Fiber Optic Cable Network" are among the major ongoing infrastructure projects. Governments of various countries in this region focus on supporting the development of more infrastructure projects to catch up with the pace of urbanization. Thus, constant infrastructure development efforts have surged the demand for construction machinery and equipment, thereby positively favoring the abrasive market.

Brazil is one of the strongest markets for aircraft manufacturing across the globe. Brazilian-based Embraer is the fourth largest aircraft manufacturer in the world, after Airbus, Boeing, and Bombardier Aerospace. Furthermore, the rising number of air passengers in the region is supporting the aircraft manufacturing industry. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), passenger numbers recorded in 2019 are projected to surpass in 2023, i.e., Central America (102%), followed by South America in 2024 (103%), and the Caribbean in 2025 (101%). Furthermore, regional manufacturers are investing in strategic initiatives such as product development, mergers, and acquisitions to gain a competitive position in the market. For instance, in September 2022, South American rotorcraft operator Ecocopter collaborated with Airbus on possible plans to launch urban air mobility (UAM) services with eVTOL aircraft in markets including Chile, Ecuador, and Peru. Under a memorandum of understanding signed in September 2021, the companies are working on possible use cases for air taxis and other eVTOL operations, including early-adopter markets in the three countries.
