CAST GRINDING MARKET OVERVIEW

The global cast grinding market size is expected to be USD 3.36 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 4.95 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period. North America is dominating the cast grinding market share in 2025.

Mineral fragments known as grinding media are used in ball mills, vibrating screens, and other machinery to grind materials. Grinding media are either loose (balls), bound (steel cylinders), or granular. Grinding can be done wet or dry, and media sizes range from less than 500 microns to more than 20 millimeters. Media can be made up of steel balls, ceramic balls, plastic beads, and other materials, depending on the milling procedure. Cast grinding media is experiencing a notable uptick in demand across various applications such as mining, metallurgy, cement, and others, which will promote the market growth in the future.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Disrupted Supply Chains to Threaten the Market Prospects

The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the cast grinding market share due to the disruptions across major end-use verticals. For the industrial and processing sectors in particular, the COVID-19 pandemic crisis brought forth additional difficulties, including as cost inflation, process delays, supply chain disruption, and reduced worker capacity. On account of these factors, a decline in the product demand was observed across various regions. However, as the impacts of the pandemic subside, the market is well-poised for recovery.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Use of Green Cement to Increase Growth Prospects

Growth in the cement industry will be aided by the increasing use of green cement in the construction of sustainable and eco-friendly structures. The production process can be altered to significantly reduce emissions as part of an attempt to lessen the hazard that emissions pose. This product is produced utilizing a low-pollution unit operating method that is carbon-negative in manufacture. It is a sustainable solution that, by lowering production-related carbon emissions, solves important environmental problems. In 2021, Hima Cement, a LafargeHolcim subsidiary, introduced Fundi, a masonry product used in bricklaying, plastering, and mortar operations that has a smaller carbon footprint. Additionally, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) promotes the development and deployment of novel, economically advantageous, ecologically friendly goods. Thus, in the near future, the demand for green cement will increase as a result of these causes.
