Sand Blasting Machines Market - Forecasts from 2022 to 2027

The sand blasting machines market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.35% during the forecast period to reach US$607.225 million by 2027, from US$450.773 million in 2020. Sandblasting machines, or abrasive blasting machines, are commonly used in sandblasting procedures. Sandblasting is the process of forcing abrasive material at high pressure against a surface in order to remove impurities, smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, or shape a surface. Wood, fiberglass, concrete, polypropylene, and metals such as cast iron, aluminum, and others can all be used with this equipment. Sandblasting is the process of applying high pressure to a stream of abrasive materials in order to smooth a rough surface or remove surface imperfections. Sandblasting machines are in high demand for maintenance and repainting in the marine and automotive industries.

Sand blasting machine demand is expected to be driven by the ongoing growth of metropolitan areas and rising use in various end-user sectors. The construction business is expanding because of rapid urbanization and industrialization, and considerable government investment in infrastructure development and R&D. Furthermore, for their commercial and residential projects, major construction companies are rapidly investing in better building materials and technology. Strategic collaborations are allowing major businesses to enhance their capacities in terms of new product development and technological advancement. As a result, the sandblasting machine market is expected to increase in the future due to regular product launches and strong research and development activities. The sandblasting machines market is predicted to see significant growth due to the expansion of possible end-use sectors such as marine, automotive, construction, and aerospace.

However, factors such as environmental and health concerns, debris management, as well as, disposal challenges, will limit the market’s expansion in the projected period. Sand also includes silica, which poses major health risks and can lead to deadly lung problems, necessitating specific measures during treatment. The heat is normally generated once the abrasive sand particles are propelled against a substrate. This necessitates more stringent safety measures. The heat produced during the process also activates the iron and its constituents, resulting in quick oxidation. Sandblasting eliminates impurities from the surface by wearing it down. If sufficient care is not taken, the substrate might be harmed. Further, environmental issues such as wastewater disposal and noise pollution caused by the product are anticipated to stifle the market.

Key Developments

Sinto America, Inc. acquired FROHN North America, Inc. in February 2019 as a component of its surface treatment segment. In the surface treatment industry, the Sinto group of companies has been a market leader. FROHN is a service-oriented blasting media and steel shot producer that provides a wide range of tailored, high-performance specialty shot blasting media for a variety of specific applications.

By product, the sand blasting machine market can be segmented into mini sand blasting machines and industrial sand blasting machines. The fundamentally portable mini sandblasting machines are utilized for domestic jobs such as rust removal, paint removal, and repair. Because of the rising replacement of sandblasting for performing domestic duties to save time, the mini sandblasting machines segment is likely to grow during the forecast period.

By blasting type, the sand blasting machines market can be segmented into wet blasting and dry blasting machines. In terms of volume, the dry sandblasting machines segment is expected to dominate the market. Wet sandblasting machines will also see significant growth in the future years as their use expands across a wide range of industries, including paint, fabrication, engineering, and building.

By application, the sand blasting machines market can be segmented into construction, oil and gas, automotive, petrochemicals, marine, and others. During the projected period, the construction sector will have a sizable share of the whole industry. Increasing product utilization in building construction and repair activities is expected to boost the segment's growth. The automotive sector will witness growth due to rising demand in vehicle manufacturing and refurbishing applications,.

By geography, the sand blasting machines market can be segmented into the Asia Pacific, North America, Middle East and Africa, South America, and Europe. Due to increased industrial manufacturing and building activity in the region, the Asia Pacific will hold a significant market share in the sandblasting machine market. The expanding automobile sector in major nations such as China, Japan, and India would have a significant impact on product demand during the forecast period. Because of the rising shipbuilding, ship repair, and ship maintenance activities in the APAC region, the maritime industry will see significant product demand. The North America segment is also expected to grow due to the booming construction sector and increased investments by both public and private sectors.

COVID-19 Insights

The global effects of the coronavirus epidemic are massive, and the sand blasting machine market was considerably impacted owing to severe supply-chain disruptions and delays in manufacturing operations due to lockdowns across various countries and other limitations imposed by governments all over the world. Furthermore, consumer demand plummeted as people were more focused on removing non-essential expenses from their budgets. Over the projected period, the aforementioned factors are likely to weigh on the worldwide sandblasting machine market's revenue trajectory.
