INDUSTRY OVERVIEW The global Abrasives market is segmented based on region. Asia Pacific represents the largest and the fastest growing market for the Abrasives industry and China is the largest producer of materials and Abrasive products. The growing demand for various types of Abrasives from transportation, building & construction and other durable goods industries is expected to drive the Asia Pacific Abrasives market. Growth in the US – which holds the world’s second largest national market for Abrasives, is expected to deliver a moderate growth. The market is dominated by leading players operating across the globe.

In India, the Abrasives industry is catered by few leading players serving major portion of the Indian market. Imports are predominantly in the high and low end Abrasives. The Bonded Abrasives and the Coated Abrasives are important segments in the Indian scenario and contribute maximum in terms of revenue to this industry.

Document code: FOTL_081120184_2 Copyright © 2016 Firstobject Technologies Ltd. All rights reserved In the domestic Russian market, there are three major players. The Company is one of the major players in Vitrified Bonded Abrasives.

The focus for the Abrasives business was to grow topline at better than the market growth rate with significantly better profitability. The year started with the announcement of the implementation of Goods and Service Tax. The business faced a challenging first quarter owing to significant reduction in order incoming from dealers consequent to migration to the new tax regime. The business subsequently improved. Restocking resumed and in the subsequent quarters, the order book improved significantly.

The Coated business continued to register good growth in the conventional products in domestic market. The growth came about by way of launch of new products, focus on technical products, strong brand recall and dealers’ readiness to invest in this product segment as well as quality consistency of the products. Coated Abrasives division is now at a stage where the market is growing and the demand for its products are good.

Distribution leadership has been one of the strategic pillars for the Company’s growth and the business has been making steady progress on this front. During the year, the business aggressively appointed new channel partners and expanded its dealer network both in India and abroad. Retail development and industrial storming initiatives were conducted for better market penetration. Introduction of newer industrial products were pursued during the year which were sold through industrial distribution chain.

The Abrasives sales in Russia were higher this year owing to introduction of new products and targeting newer territories. Sterling Abrasives which addresses the agriculture related applications delivered a good growth during the year

Ceramics

There has been no material change in the Ceramics industry structure in India, which is catered to by a few major players. Globally however, NTK Japan exited Metallized Cylinders business in 2015-16 and its manufacturing assets and customers database were acquired by the Company’s Ceramics business. The Company is now the second largest producer in the world. In the Wear Ceramics space, there are six major players globally - the Company is one of the reputed players in the world. In the Ceramics, there are around five players globally with CUMI Ceramics being relatively smaller in size.

In Australia, CUMI is one of the major players in the Lined Equipment and Mineral processing industry. There are about a dozen players in the industry, most of whom market products imported from China and USA.

Refractory industry in India is a highly fragmented market with a market size of around Rs 60 billion. The Company’s product profile caters to the top end temperature range applications. The Refractory industry in Russia is a highly fragmented market and Volzhsky Abrasives Works (VAW) caters primarily to the aluminium industry in Russia.

Electrominerals

The Fused Alumina installed capacity globally is around 2 million tons with major capacities being in China. The Company is largely a local player with customers based in India. Apart from the domestic players, imported products have

Document code: FOTL_081120184_2 Copyright © 2016 Firstobject Technologies Ltd. All rights reserved a visible share in the Indian market. Competitive imports become favourable or unfavourable depending on Free Trade Agreements between countries, duty structures and exchange rates. In the Silicon Carbide space, the installed capacity would be anywhere to the extent of 1.5 to 2 million tons with large portion of it being in China, VAW, Russia with a capacity of 0.08 million tons is the second largest single location capacity in the world.

In the Fused Zirconia space, the global capacity could be approximately 0.07 million tons. China would occupy around twenty five percent of the global market. The Company with a capacity of 0.01 million tons is the third in the world. The Company continues to retain its position as one of the reputed manufacturers of Silicon Carbide and Fused Zirconia.

OUTLOOK

Global growth is expected at 3.9 per cent next year as per IMF supported by strong momentum, favourable market sentiment and recovery in commodity prices favoring commodity exporters.

Reversing two years of declining growth, Indian economy is set to expand at 7.3 per cent in 2018-19 and at 7.6 per cent in 2019-20, aided by various growth oriented new policy measures, as per Asian Development Bank. India would become the fastest growing large economy for next two years given that China’s growth forecast is lower than that of India. The main growth driver for Indian economy would be rural consumption, continued infrastructure development projects and healthy exports growth on the back of pick-up in growth in advanced economies.

The pick-up in infrastructure capex - Central Government’s road construction push - Bharatmala Pariyojana would be significantly positive for the Company.

Normalization of domestic markets post GST disruption, growth of Stainless Steel, Aerospace, Railways and Robotic industries, Urbanization & Infrastructure and Light weighting trends will favourably impact Company’s business.

Growth in Automobiles and Auto ancillary industry would open up opportunities for high performance Minerals and Abrasives business. Growth in commercial vehicles led by pick up in infrastructure capex, increased mining activity and commodity business, would favourably impact Company’s business.

The Company’s significant share of sale comes from outside India. Globally, the marketing and manufacturing entities are spread across Middle East, Europe, China, Russia and North America. The uptick is the global economy with rising commodity price would benefit the Company. The demand for the Company’s products would be favourably spurred by industrialization activity, rising per capita income and consumer spending, enhanced manufacturing activities and increase in investments.
