Sand Blasting Service Market Report 2025

The sand blasting service market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.31 billion in 2024 to $13.11 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising metal fabrication, growth in shipbuilding industries, increasing maintenance activities, expansion of the aerospace industry, and growth in automotive manufacturing.

The sand blasting service market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.7 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. This future expansion will be driven by increased infrastructure development, growing use of environmentally friendly abrasive materials, enhanced government funding, rising refurbishment and renovation activities, and growth in the oil and gas industry. Notable trends expected in the forecast period include breakthroughs in technology, the introduction of advanced robotic blasting systems, integration of automation and AI, vapor blasting innovations, and greater focus on precision blasting techniques.

The rise in infrastructure development is expected to significantly drive the sand blasting service market in the coming years. Infrastructure development encompasses the planning, building, upgrading, and upkeep of vital systems and structures that support economic activity, societal well-being, and environmental goals. Urbanization plays a crucial role in boosting infrastructure needs, as expanding urban populations require improved housing, transportation, public services, and utilities. Sand blasting services play an essential role in infrastructure projects by preparing surfaces such as steel, concrete, and machinery for coatings, which helps prevent corrosion and boosts structural durability and safety. This in turn reduces future maintenance costs and streamlines construction operations. For instance, in July 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a UK-based government department, in 2023, total sector investment in infrastructure reached £13.8 billion (approximately USD 17.3 billion) in constant prices, marking a 3.9% increase compared to 2022.

Leading companies in the sand blasting service market are increasingly leveraging cutting-edge technologies like 3D-engraved pressure rollers to enhance design accuracy and surface detailing. These rollers are crafted using advanced 3D imaging and machining to imprint detailed patterns, allowing sandblasting providers to apply consistent, high-resolution textures and intricate designs. This enhances both the visual appeal and operational efficiency of the process. For example, in September 2024, Officine SMAC S.p.A., an Italy-based machinery manufacturer, unveiled the MAS-R sandblasting machine, which features engraved pressure rollers using proprietary 3D technology. This innovation enables the decoration of extruded facing bricks on all visible surfaces, combining precision and texture uniformity. It also allows for application directly onto green material at the extruder exit, improving adhesion and reducing dust, noise, and waste, thereby offering a sustainable and cost-efficient solution compared to conventional pressure sandblasting systems.

In March 2024, Metal Finishing Technologies LLC, a US-based provider of comprehensive metal finishing and surface preparation solutions, completed the acquisition of Aqua Blasting Corp. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Metal Finishing Technologies aims to broaden and strengthen its portfolio by incorporating Aqua Blasting’s specialized capabilities in peening and abrasive blasting. This strategic move enhances its service offerings for critical sectors like aerospace, defense, medical, and semiconductors, solidifying its position as a versatile, full-service provider in the metal treatment industry. Aqua Blasting Corp., also based in the US, is recognized for its expertise in metal surface treatments, including shot peening and sand blasting service.

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.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the services sector, particularly in business services, IT, and professional consulting operations. Higher costs for imported technology, office equipment, and essential digital infrastructure have raised operating expenses for service providers, forcing them to either pass on costs to clients or absorb margin pressures. Outsourcing firms and IT service companies are also facing challenges due to increased costs of hardware components and delayed global supply chains, affecting project delivery timelines and profitability. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have dampened demand for U.S.-based professional services in key international markets, leading to a slowdown in export-driven revenue streams. The sector must now prioritize digital transformation, cost optimization, and expanding domestic client bases to sustain growth and maintain competitiveness amid ongoing trade uncertainty.

Sand blasting service refers to a process used for surface preparation, offered by specialized contractors or professional service providers. It involves the high-pressure projection of abrasive materials, commonly sand or similar media, against surfaces using either compressed air or water. The goal is to clean, smoothen, roughen, or reshape surfaces by removing rust, paint, scale, oil, or outdated coatings.

There are several main categories of sand blasting services, including on-site sandblasting, in-house sandblasting, mobile sandblasting, and specialized sandblasting services. On-site sandblasting is carried out at the customer’s premises, making it particularly suitable for large or immovable structures by allowing efficient surface preparation without the need for transportation. The abrasives used in the sandblasting process include materials like silica sand, aluminum oxide, garnet, glass beads, plastic media, and baking soda. These services are widely utilized in various applications such as industrial cleaning, coating removal, surface preparation, metal finishing, deburring and deflashing, and in restoration and renovation tasks. Key industries utilizing these services include aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, and marine sectors.
