The Abrasives Industry in 3C Products

3C is short for "Computer," "Communication," and "Consumer Electronic" products. While the economic downturn has left many people unable to buy large items, such as cars, houses, the cellphone industry has continued to be very popular. 3C business is booming.

With the developments in the economy, digital products like cellphones, computers, and cameras have become necessities for most people. While they have fallen in love with 3C products, the abrasives and abrasive products that have been applied in 3C products have been thriving.

Almost each part of 3C products has an intimate relationship with the abrasives industry, such as the cutting and grinding of the circuit board, the polishing and grinding of the battery case, etc. Perhaps you are wondering what abrasive products are used. Diamond core drills and hard alloy cutters are used for cutting; hand pads, sanding paper, sanding sponge, and polishing compound are used for grinding; as well as the grinding discs and blasting materials, such as brown fused alumina blasting, stainless steel blasting, and ceramic sandblasting.

A hand pad manufacturer revealed that just this year the company has reduced the hand pads production that used to be applied in the hardware industry as well as the furniture industry and has increased input in 3C products. The reasoning for this is that the economic downturn in recent years has resulted in a sluggish market in many basic industries. Because the electronics industry is growing vigorously, the company has adjusted market positioning in response to the impact of the economic downturn. The hand pad manufacturer also said that 3C products may enjoy an even greater market in the future.

For Chinese abrasives manufacturers, clustering at the low-end products or producing homogeneous products, although perhaps the natural route, are not the right choices. Making timely adjustments to the company positioning can not only help companies solve the dilemma but also help companies develop new markets, which means less competition in the future. Seen from the current 3C market situation, the prospect is wide open. While with the continual innovation of the electronics products, the requirements for grinding products will be higher. Abrasives companies are advised to make more efforts in research and development.
