Sanding Pads product Insights
Based on product, we have covered the following segments: discs, wheels, rolls, and Others. Sanding pad discs are used for hard plating. The aggressive cutting easily blends starches from edger and drum sanders. The discs reduce dish out of springwood on strip and plank floors. The discs are usually used for final sanding. Sanding wheels are usually designed for medium grade grinding and finishing applications. This is a powerful and handy sanding tool, which quickly deburrs, and polishes finished metal surfaces, leaving them clean and ready to be worked on.
The sanding wheels can be best used for applications such as home repair, home workshop and rough shaping smoothing among others. Sanding rolls are generally used for larger jobs. Rolls are preferred for their ease of storing and carrying over pre-cut sheets. A pre-cut roll cover is cut to spec and is mechanically applied to a rubber drum. It is commonly used in the rental trade due to its lower cost as compared to belt sanders. Others products comprises of sanding belts and sanding sheets for wood.

Sanding Pads Deployment Insights
Based on Deployment Type, the global Applicant Tracking Systems market has been segmented into On-Premises and Cloud-Based. On-cloud ATS solutions are hosted on the provider's servers and accessed via the Internet. This kind of deployment comes with several benefits in terms of flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. An organization can quickly ramp up or down its use of the ATS according to the hiring needs without keeping itself bothered about any infrastructure costs. The on-cloud model also ensures that the users get all the latest features and updates, as the provider manages the maintenance and upgrading.
On-cloud solutions also provide remote access capabilities, which let recruiters manage the whole hiring process from anywhere in the world. This model is of relevance for organizations with dispersed teams or those looking to minimize IT overhead.
Sanding Pads Backing Material Insights
Based on backing material, we have covered the following segments: Velcro / Hook and Loop, Pressure Sensitive Adhesive, and OthersVelcro/ hook and loop sanding disks usually have a fluffy back that enables them to be attached to Velcro surface of the sanders backing pad. These discs are also referred to as Velours Backed Sanding Discs. The advantage of the velcro disc is that it can be easily removed from the sander before it is worn out so that it can be reused at a later date.
The Velcro/ hook and loop sanding pads are mostly suitable for sanding paint, wood, metal, varnish, roughcast and composite materials.
Pressure sensitive adhesives are mostly found in the 125mm and 150mm dual action (d/a) sanders. The pressure sensitive adhesives are becoming less common as velcro sanding discs are cheaper and convenient. The disc has an adhesive coating applied to it, so that when it is pressed to the backing pad, it sticks in place. This adhesive is called Self Adhesive sanding discs. Others include backing of sanding pads in different form such as standard and perforated/holes. The perforated backing material is to be used with sander.
Sanding Pads End-User Insights
By end-user, market is segmented into: construction, automotive, metal fabrication, and others.
Sanding pads are largely used in the construction industry in various applications such as smoothening a surface or scraping off layers of a surface, especially during painting. The construction industry is a major growth driver of the global sanding pad market. Financing construction projects has also improved, which has led to improvements in technology. Also, the trend for modular and prefabricated construction is rising, which reduces construction time and cost thereby driving the growth of the sanding pads market. In the automotive industry, abrasives such as sanding pads are used to provide precision, shine, and glossy finish to automotive parts.
Sanding is also employed to smoothen rough surfaces after assembling automotive components and in preparation for welding work. With the rapid growth of the automotive industry across the globe, the segment share of sanding pad is expected to increase exponentially over the coming years.
Sanding pads, which are well suited for many grinding applications, are used in metal fabrication such as heavy stock removal and rough blending. The sanding pads are most suitable for stainless steel, chrome and nickel surfaces along with the fabrication of metals. These sanding pads help in distributing wear on all types of surfaces. Using appropriate sanding pads, helps maximize the output and minimize the cost, to a great extent. The other end-users comprises of the electronics and electrical sector. The use of sanding pads eliminates defects and helps in achieving the precision finish the electrical operations demand.
The sanding pads help in bringing superior consistency to lapping and polishing fiber optics, wafer substrates, memory disks, and other photonic and electronic components.
