Sand Blasting Machines Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product, Type, Blasting Type, Tank Capacity, Automation, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Sand Blasting Machines Market is accounted for $627.66 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $1061.84 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period. A sandblasting machine, also known as an abrasive blasting machine, is widely used in the sandblasting process. Sandblasting is the technique of vigorously thrusting abrasive material alongside a surface under high pressure in order to remove surface impurities, smoothen a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, or contour a surface. This equipment is suitable for use on concrete, wood, fiberglass, plastic, and metal surfaces such as steel, aluminium, and cast iron.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing developments in metropolitan areas

Rapid industrialization, urbanization, and substantial government investment in infrastructure development are propelling the construction sector forward. Strategic alliances are being used by major manufacturers to increase their capabilities in terms of new product creation and technological advancement. Furthermore, major construction firms are expanding their investments in enhanced building materials and technologies for commercial and residential projects. The continued expansion of urban areas and the construction sector in various regions is expected to fuel demand for sand blasting machines.

Restraint:

Constant replacements

In several sectors, shots blasting machines have been used to replace Sand Blasting Machines, where metallic shots and grits as abrasives are used to reduce the danger of lung ailments. However, with Sand Blasting Machines, pressurized air and sand are discharged at high pressure into the surrounding environment, resulting in silica dust, which is hazardous to breath and is a big commercial setback.

Opportunity:

Growing adoption of robotic blasting technique

Robotic blasting has been used to broaden the scope of sand blasting in sectors where complicated process requirements, component complexity, and quality control requirements are not met by typical automation methods. It achieves the necessary level of surface cleanliness and roughness. This approach boosts manufacturing capacity while lowering production costs significantly. Its high accuracy, efficiency, and slight surface sculpting are driving market demand.

Threat:

Hazardous to workers & environment

Blasting operations may generate a lot of dust and noise. Toxic elements such as lead paint and silica may be present in abrasive material and the surface being blasted, posing a risk to employees. Silica sand (crystalline) can cause silicosis, lung cancer, and breathing difficulties in workers who are exposed to it. Blasting without appropriate containment, as well as open grit piles, may lead to water contamination from harmful metals and compounds derived from anti-fouling coatings. This pollution can impair human health and have lasting consequences for fish and other aquatic life. These factors are impeding market expansion.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic dilemma has hampered the manufacture of a variety of sandblasting machine items. Furthermore, as a result of the lengthy lockdown, the worldwide supply chain was disrupted and industrial activities were delayed. The market has suffered greatly as a result of worldwide activity limits. Following the end of the epidemic, the market is gradually recovering. During the projection period, the market is expected to develop profitably modestly.

The automatic segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The automatic segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Because of the extensive manual labour required by manual sandblasting machines, consumers are migrating toward automated or semi-automatic devices. When opposed to manual equipment, automatic sandblasting machines use less labour in operations. Workers are not required for the operation of drummed automated sandblasting equipment. These factors are propelling the segment's expansion.

The wheel blasting segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The wheel blasting segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, owing to its higher efficiency than other methods. Wheel blasting machines may work with a variety of abrasive media, including steel grit, steel shot, and aluminium oxide. This adaptability increases its use in peening, deburring, and cleaning applications. They are intended for heavy-duty application in a variety of end-use industries. The rising automation of wheel blasting machines is expected to favour market growth. Furthermore, the segment's propensity for air blasting is anticipated to assist its growth.

Region with largest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. North America has massive infrastructure and national monuments that are decades old and in desperate need of repair. The increased repair of these monuments will stimulate the need for sandblasting machines. Bridges, dams, and other infrastructure are cleaned and refurbished on a massive scale, resulting in increased company growth. Furthermore, a number of contract firms offer sandblasting services for residential building, such as cleaning rusty pipes, roads, terraces, and fireplace deposits. These factors are driving market expansion in this region.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period Rapid urbanization has increased building activity in Asia Pacific emerging countries. For example, the infrastructure sector accounts for 50% of building activity in India, with the remainder coming from industrial operations, residential and commercial development, and so on. Furthermore, many governments in the region have launched a slew of initiatives to improve urban infrastructure. All of these efforts and innovations are fuelling Asia Pacific market expansion.

Key players in the market:

Some of the key players profiled in the Sand Blasting Machines Market include: Graco, Sabre Autonomous Solutions, Quill Falcon, Sinto Group, Airblast B.V., Torbo Engineering Keizers GmbH, Tip Plus Corp, Clemco Industries Corp., Midwest Finishing Systems, Ningbo Qianfeng Machinery Company, Trinity Tool Company, Standard Tools and Equipment, Vixen Surface Treatments, PAUL AUER, Wheelabrator, JetSystem Group, Burwell Technologies, Axxiom Manufacturing ABShot Tecnics, Manus Abrasive System and Rosler Oberflachentechnik GmbH.

Key Developments:

In August 2022, Australia-based Burwell Technologies had invested in Sabre Autonomous Solutions, an Australian robotics company for the commercialization of an autonomous grit-blasting robot to enable human workers to safely operate outside the blasting zone. Owing to the health hazards posed by sand blasting machines to operators, leading manufacturers have emphasized on offering safety devices.

In January 2022, Rosler Oberflachentechnik GmbH developed a new shot blast machine equipped with two high-performance Gamma 300G turbines, each with an installed power of 11 kW. This ensures short cycle times. Compared to conventional turbines, the Gamma 300G turbines are equipped with specially designed, curved throwing blades generating up to 20% higher blast performance.

In December 2021, GPAINNOVA installed DLyte PRO500 in Rosler's Customer Experience Center in Germany. Rosler has become equipped with a highly advanced, versatile, and powerful dry electropolishing machine available in Germany with this acquisition.

In March 2021, Wheelabrator acquired Tunnel Hill Partners and rebranded the company as WIN Waste Innovation. The strategic merger is aimed to provide essential services to consumers in the United States. This merger has made WIN Waste Innovation one of the prominent private companies in the United States waste sector.
