Automatic Shot Blasting Market Report 2026

The automatic shot blasting market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.48 billion in 2025 to $1.63 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in metal fabrication industries, automotive manufacturing expansion, construction equipment demand, aerospace component production, shipbuilding activities.

The automatic shot blasting market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.43 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation in metal processing, demand for high throughput finishing, industrial safety regulations, expansion of heavy machinery manufacturing, adoption of smart manufacturing systems. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of fully automated shot blasting, expansion of surface treatment in manufacturing, rising demand for consistent surface finishing, integration of shot blasting with production lines, focus on dust control and energy efficiency.

The expanding automotive industry is expected to drive the growth of the automatic shot blasting market going forward. The automotive industry encompasses the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and related components. Its expansion is largely fueled by rising consumer demand for personal vehicles, as increasing incomes, continued urbanization, and the need for convenient mobility options encourage more individuals to purchase private automobiles. Automatic shot blasting is widely used in the automotive sector to clean, strengthen, and prepare metal surfaces for coating or assembly, enhance product durability, improve paint and coating adhesion, minimize manual labor, and increase production speed and consistency. For example, in April 2024, the Serbian Association of Vehicle and Parts Importers, a Serbia-based professional automotive organization, reported that 93,546,599 vehicles (including 67,133,570 passenger vehicles) were produced worldwide in 2023, up from 84,830,376 units in 2022. Therefore, the expanding automotive industry is supporting the growth of the automatic shot blasting market.

The increasing development of infrastructure projects is also expected to drive the growth of the automatic shot blasting market going forward. Infrastructure projects comprise large-scale public or private initiatives focused on constructing, expanding, or upgrading essential physical systems such as transportation networks, energy facilities, water supply systems, and telecommunications. The rise in such projects is largely driven by accelerating urbanization, as growing urban populations necessitate expanded transportation systems, utilities, housing, and public services to sustain economic activity and improve overall living conditions. Automatic shot blasting contributes to infrastructure development by efficiently cleaning and preparing metal and concrete surfaces, ensuring strong coating adhesion, improving surface roughness for optimal material bonding, reducing manual labor and processing time, and increasing the lifespan, safety, and performance of critical structural components. For instance, in July 2025, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based national statistical agency, reported that government spending on infrastructure reached £28.9 billion (US$ 38.3 billion) in 2024 at current prices, an increase of approximately 2.2% from the previous year. Therefore, the growing development of infrastructure projects is fueling the growth of the automatic shot blasting market.

In March 2023, BlastOne International, a US-based machinery manufacturer, acquired VertiDrive B.V. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to strengthen BlastOne’s automation capabilities in blasting and painting processes by incorporating VertiDrive’s advanced robotics technology. This integration is expected to improve customer support and expand innovative solutions across sectors including shipbuilding, infrastructure, and heavy fabrication. VertiDrive B.V. is a Netherlands-based company specializing in automatic shot blasting equipment.
