CBN WHEELS MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global CBN wheels market was valued at approximately USD 0.48 billion in 2024 and is expected to rise to USD 0.51 billion in 2025, eventually reaching USD 0.78 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2025 to 2033.

A synthetic abrasive that is twice as hard and four times more resistant to abrasion than traditional abrasives is CBN. CBN is more resistant than only diamond. Crystal glass, automotive toughened glass, and Borosil glass used in kitchen and laboratory equipment are all ground using CBN wheels. To create different shapes of products for grinding, polishing, and lapping tools, CBN wheels are created using  cubic boron nitride  abrasive as the raw material and metal powder, resin powder, ceramic, and electroplated metal as the appropriate bonding agent.

CBN wheels have a significant benefit over wheels made with continuous ring construction because the segmented design allows for the repair of broken wheel segments. CBN wheels can have their porosity adjusted during manufacturing. When combined with a free-cutting nature, effective chip removal, and good ability for "On-line Dressing," the rigid, porous structure offers low wear, high heat stability, very high material removal rates with less downtime, and consequently lower machining manufacturing costs.

COVID-19 IMPACT

 Halt on Manufacturing Operations to Slower Market Growth

The effects of the pandemic were felt in every industry, including machinery, metalworking, and the automotive. There have been disruptions caused by large-scale Chinese manufacturing exports. Meanwhile, the lockdown in the United States has led to plant closures, exerting even more severe pressure on the global CBN wheels market supply base, and putting businesses and customers in danger. The pandemic has caused a shift in the supply chain on a worldwide scale, which has an impact on metalworking, industrial, automotive, and other industries. In turn, this is upsetting the CBN wheels market and causing a downward change in CBN wheels demand.

LATEST TRENDS

The Durability of CBN Wheels to Boost Market Growth

CBN wheels and resin bond diamond wheels for the longest life. CBN wheels are some of the most highly effective grinding goods on the market because they combine the toughest known super abrasives retained chemically and mechanically in the glass. CBN wheels use phenolic resin, which helps to assure greater strength and heat resistance than conventional abrasive materials. The resin and abrasive material's special connection produces a potent mixture that can easily handle even the most difficult tasks. CBN wheels also have great thermal stability, which enables them to keep their shape under strong loads. The outcome is a surface that is smooth and free of burrs or scratches, which is likely to please clients. The above-mentioned benefits have a positive impact on the CBN wheels market growth.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increased Productivity to Facilitate Market Development

The method of grinding with CBN wheels increases the productivity and efficiency of contemporary machines accessible on the global CBN wheels market. Abrasive CBN Wheels have a longer lifespan since dressing is supplied in extended intervals in the tiniest increments, resulting in good performance between grinding changes. Another benefit is the improved finishing and piece-by-piece consistency of the pieces that were corrected without using excessive heat.

Technological Advancements in CBN Wheels to Promote Industry Progress

Due to technological advancements in CBN wheels that make them more effective to use, innovation in the CBN wheels market is rising globally. Using surface stresses applied in resistance during grinding, a grinding wheel's performance can be compared. When using a conventional grinding wheel, only compressive residual forces are applied. If we increase this force, the applied voltage will start to act internally on the wheel, decreasing its cutting power. However, when using vitrified CBN wheels, it is possible to work with much higher surface tensions without sacrificing cutting power.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Decrease in Raw Material Supply to Hinder Market Growth

The raw materials for CBN wheels are derived from regenerative resources, like petroleum. The supply of raw materials decreases as a result of the depletion of these resources, which limits CBN wheels market expansion. Governments have also acted and imposed strict limits on the usage of this commodity as a response to growing concerns over environmental protection and halting the spread of pollution, which has hampered market expansion.
