The high cost associated with the manufacture of abrasives is a major restraint for the market. The production of abrasive products requires specialized equipment and raw materials, which contribute to the overall cost. This high cost can hinder the market growth, especially in price-sensitive regions.
Environmental regulations and concerns regarding the disposal of used abrasives are also restraining the market growth. The abrasive manufacturing process can produce harmful by-products, leading to environmental pollution. Stringent regulations on the disposal of abrasive waste are forcing manufacturers to adopt sustainable practices, which can increase production costs and impact profitability.
