Major Driver Impacting Market Growth The growing electrical vehicle (EV) industry is expected to propel the growth of the abrasives market. An electric vehicle (EV) uses an electric motor and is charged at electric stations rather than internal combustion. This upswing is coupled with the compelling need to populate the huge worldwide road network with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, as the meteoric rise of the electric car shows every indication of lasting far into the future. As a result, demand for stainless steel (and the abrasives needed to finish it) to provide numerous electric vehicle charging stations is expected to grow for years. In almost all circumstances, stainless steel will need at least one abrasive treatment to finish before it can be used in any significant fashion in the real world. Every stainless-steel weld, for example, necessitates some degree of grinding and polishing. According to ""Power Technology"", EV sales have surged, with increases in all three major car markets including China, the United States, and Europe. In the first half of 2021, sales climbed by 160 percent year over year to 2.6 million vehicles, accounting for 26 percent of new vehicle sales worldwide. Therefore, a rise in the electric vehicle industry the driving the growth of abrasives market.
