Grinding Aids Market Expansion Projected to Gain an Uptick During 2018 to 2027

Fact.MR has announced the addition of the “Grinding Aids Market ” : Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2018 to 2027" report to their offering.

Grinding aids were first commercialized approximately 40 years ago to improve the fineness of the cement and increase the production rate. Grinding aids are liquid solution formulated as water-based solutions of organic compounds with high charge density, such as glycols, esters of glycols, alkanolamines or carboxylates of alkanolamines. The main function of grinding aids is to partially neutralise the charges present on the surface of cement particles, which develop during milling process by forming a thin film over the particle. Grinding aids are primarily used to improve the productivity and cost effectiveness of cement production. There has been significant reduction in energy consumption with the use of grinding aids. Grinding aids also improves the granularity and flowabilty of the cement. Grinding aids have also reduced the coating effect on the grinding media and prevents the agglomeration of particles after grinding.  With the elimination of coating effect the maintenance cost has also been reduced significantly. The grinding aids are available for both raw meal grinding and clinker. According to a study by prominent manufacturers, there has been ~25-30% cost reduction with the use of grinding aids. The overall throughput of the mill has been significantly improved with the use of grinding aids. Grinding aids are doesn’t only improves the grinding efficiency, but also improves several other properties of the composite cement such as strength, settling time, workability amongst others.

 Reasons for Covering This Title

 The long term outlook for the global Grinding Aids is projected to remain positive expanding with a moderate rate over the forecast period. The growing concerns about the reduction of energy consumption and improve the fineness of the cement particles is projected to drive the demand for grinding aids in the present and future scenario. The significant improvement in mill performance by removal of coating effect has boosted the demand for grinding aids.
Moreover, the growing construction sector especially in the developing countries of Asia Pacific region such as India is expected to boost the demand for grinding aids.  With the use of grinding aid the grinding index (Fineness of the grain/ Total number of grinding cycles required to achieve that fineness) has also been improved thus there has been overall reduction in operation and maintenance costs.
The manufacturers have been focusing on the development of advanced grinding aids that reduces the CO2 emissions during the grinding process. Owing to all the above mentioned benefits, there has been a steady demand for these chemicals.

Brief Approach to Research

 The global Grinding Aids market comprises of fairly large number of global players and a number of regional/ local players. To arrive at market numbers for Grinding Aids the team shall be engaged in validation of numbers from both supply and demand side. From the supply side perspective, firstly an exhaustive list of manufacturers, distributors will be prepared. This will be followed by evaluating the production capacities and segmental revenue and revenue from target product (Grinding Aids). The approximate market share for the enlisted manufacturers is evaluated to arrive at the global numbers. For a demand side perspective the overall cement production, amount of grinding aids added to one tonne of cement amongst others will be gauged to arrive at base numbers which will be cross verified with the industry experts by primary interviews. The statistics and data is collected at a regional level and consolidated and synthesized at a global level to estimate the overall market sizes.
