A shot blasting machine is a device used to clean, strengthen, or polish metal surfaces through the impact of abrasive materials, such as steel shots or beads. The machine propels these abrasive materials at high speeds onto the surface of the object being treated. Shot blasting machines are commonly employed in various industries to enhance the surface finish and durability of metal components.
The main types of shot blasting machines include hanger type, tumblast, rotary table, and others. Hanger-type shot blasting machines are designed for cleaning and finishing large and complex parts by suspending them on hooks or hangers. These machines utilize various technologies, including wheel blasting, air blasting, and wet blasting, and can operate in both automatic and manual modes. They are used by various end-users, such as those in the automotive, aerospace, foundry, construction, shipbuilding, and rail industries, among others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the shot blasting machine market by increasing the cost of imported steel, abrasive media, motors, and precision engineered components used in equipment manufacturing. These higher input costs have affected pricing and procurement decisions across automotive, aerospace, and foundry segments, particularly in regions reliant on cross border industrial equipment trade such as Asia Pacific and Europe. Project timelines have faced delays due to supply chain adjustments. However, tariffs are also encouraging local manufacturing, supplier diversification, and cost optimized machine design, supporting long term market resilience.
The shot blasting machine market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides shot blasting machine market statistics, including shot blasting machine industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a shot blasting machine market share, detailed shot blasting machine market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the shot blasting machine industry. This shot blasting machine market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The shot blasting machine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.32 billion in 2025 to $1.39 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of automotive manufacturing, expansion of metal casting and foundry operations, rising demand for surface preparation in construction equipment, increased use of steel components in heavy machinery, focus on improving metal fatigue strength.
The shot blasting machine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.7 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of automated manufacturing lines, demand for high precision surface finishing, growth in electric vehicle production, expansion of aerospace component manufacturing, rising investments in industrial infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include energy efficient shot blasting systems, high durability wear resistant blasting components, compact and portable shot blasting machines, customization of blasting intensity and media, automation integration in surface finishing lines.
The rise in construction activities is anticipated to support the growth of the shot-blasting machine market. Construction activities involve planning, designing, and building various types of infrastructure, including residential, commercial, and industrial structures, as well as roads, bridges, and other civil engineering projects. This growth is driven by factors such as urbanization, population expansion, increased infrastructure investment, and government initiatives promoting housing and commercial development. Shot blasting machines play a crucial role in construction by efficiently cleaning and preparing metal surfaces-such as steel beams and reinforcements-for coatings and further processing, ensuring better adhesion and long-term durability. For example, in September 2024, the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, reported that total construction spending in the U.S. reached $2,027.4 billion in July 2024, a 6.7% increase compared to the previous year. Thus, rising construction activities are driving demand for shot-blasting machines.
Major companies in the shot blasting machine market are developing advanced automated surface-finishing systems that integrate multiple processing stages, enhance precision, and support large-scale industrial production with improved efficiency and reliability. For instance, in November 2025, ActOn Finishing, a UK-based machinery manufacturer, introduced six new automated wet blasting systems in collaboration with ISP GmbH, a Germany-based manufacturing company. These systems integrate blasting, washing, passivation, and drying into a single production line, delivering high precision, consistency, and productivity for industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and additive manufacturing. Equipped with blast wheel technology, real-time process monitoring, and full automation, the systems offer faster machining times, uniform finishes, and reduced manual handling. The product lineup includes compact units, rotary basket models, turntable systems, conveyor-based lines, and multi-station satellite machines, all designed for durability, efficiency, and optimized high-volume production workflows.
In March 2023, BlastOne International, a US-based provider of blasting and painting equipment, acquired VertiDrive B.V. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition aims to enhance BlastOne's technological capabilities and broaden its product portfolio by incorporating VertiDrive's advanced shot blasting technologies. VertiDrive B.V. is a Netherlands-based manufacturer specializing in shot blasting machines.
