Shot Blasting Machine Market Report 2026

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 $2.02 trillion 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.
