The global sandblasting machines market is poised to witness rapid growth through 2028 on account of the expanding automotive sector. In addition, surging demand for sandblasting equipment from marine and building & construction industries is likely to further support industry growth over the forecast timeline.

Sandblasting is typically done to smoothen, roughen, clean, or remove coating to prepare surfaces for protective/decorative coating. Also known as abrasive blasting, the process gained popularity for being able to restore old equipment without any use of harsh chemicals. Next-generation technologies are fostering development of portable and automated sandblasting machines.

The sandblasting machines market has been segmented in terms of blasting type, control system, tank capacity, product, end-use, and region. Based on control system, the market has been further classified into automatic, semi-automatic, and manual. The semi-automatic sub-segment is estimated to be valued at approximately USD 271.0 million by 2028.

In terms of tank capacity, the sandblasting machines industry has been fragmented into less than 1000L, 2000L-3000L, 1000L-2000L, and more than 3000L. Among these, the 2000L-3000L sub-segment is likely to exhibit notable growth at a CAGR of around 5.4% through 2028.

By end-use, the global sandblasting machines market has been bifurcated into construction, marine, petrochemicals, automotive, oil & gas, and others. The petrochemicals sub-segment is expected to grow at about 5.3% CAGR between 2022 and 2028.

In 2021, the oil & gas sub-segment was worth over USD 96.4 million and is slated to observe robust expansion over 2022-2028 due to surging need for improved crude oil storage. Increasing number of hydrocarbon storage tanks are driving the demand for sandblasting machines as they rely on anti-corrosion paints and special coating for protection against corrosion, which is set to bolster segmental uptake.

The sandblasting machines market size from the marine sub-segment is anticipated to reach above USD 108.7 million in revenue by 2028 on account of mounting adoption of ship blasting and boat blasting procedures. Marine vehicles extensively use wet blasting machines as they enable faster performance high-efficiency dust-free blasting and advancements in ultra-high-pressure water blasting machines for ships, which is foreseen to augment segmental growth. The others sub-segment is estimated to surpass a valuation of USD 123.4 million by 2028.

From the regional perspective, the Middle East & Africa sandblasting machines market in is expected to grow steadily at approximately 5.3% CAGR over the forecast period supported by the booming plastic compounding market. The Latin America market accounted for a revenue share of over 6.8% in the overall industry in 2021 and is likely to exhibit sturdy expansion at around 5.0% CAGR from 2022 to 2028.

In 2021, the North America sandblasting machines industry was valued at more than USD 124.8 million and is projected to attain a sizable share in the overall market revenue by the end of the forecast period. Rich footprint of both small as well as leading manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada, along with prominent academic collaborations for training and workshops, is foreseen to promote product demand.

To cite an instance, in January 2022, Clemco Industries, an air-powered abrasive blasting equipment manufacturer based in Washington, donated the Pulsar Plus 55-Suction Blast Cabinet to Samuel V. Champion High School’s Welding Pathway in Texas. Such collaborations are fostering the product scenario in the region, which is primed to positively influence market outlook.
