Global Sand Blasting Machine Market Scope:

Type Analysis

Based on their size and intended applications, the sandblasting machine market was divided into two segments: mini sandblasting machines and industrial blasting. Inherently portable, mini sandblasting machines can be used for home tasks like paint removal, rust removal, and repair. Mini sandblasting machines were the leading segment in 2021 and will grow rapidly due to the increased use of sandblasting to perform domestic tasks and save time.

There are three types of sandblasting machines that can be used for different purposes. These technologies are gravity-fed, pressure siphon, or siphon. Due to the many utility features of sandblasting machines that allow businesses to address multiple surface preparation and metallic cleaning needs, the majority of the market for sandblasting machines in 2021 was dominated by industrial machines.

Tank Capacity analysis

In 2021, the market for sandblasting machines less than 1000L held approximately 42% of the market share. Portable sandblasting equipment is becoming more popular. Many companies offer a variety of OEM products that have different tank capacities. Tank capacities can vary depending on how a machine is used. Portable air compressors are needed for automotive and construction applications. They must be compact and portable so they can be carried easily. Portable nature requires lightweight and compact equipment.

Key Market Segments:

By Type

• Mini sand blasting machines
• Industrial sand blasting machines

By Tank Capacity

• Less than 1000L
• 1000L – 2000L
• 2000L – 3000L
• More than 3000L

Market Dynamics:

Robotic blasting has been used to expand the range of sandblasting in areas that have complex process requirements, parts complexity, and quality control requirements. Market growth is expected to be driven by increased demand from the aerospace, construction, and automotive sectors. Sandblasting is being used more frequently to create three-dimensional signage, and render a handcrafted and carved appearance.

Silica, which was used in blasting machines to remove sand, can be inhaled and cause lung disease. Many countries have banned blast cleaning abrasives that contain more than 0.1% of silica. This has led to other abrasive materials like water, walnut shells, or crushed glass being popular. Shot blasting machines use metallic shots and grits to abrasive. This has reduced the risk of developing lung diseases and has slowed market growth.

Sandblasting jeans to give them distressed or worn-out looks was a common practice before the discovery of cases of workers suffering from silicosis due to the inhalation of fine silica particles. This practice was banned in many countries. However, it is thought that the practice has been adapted to other countries like Egypt, Pakistan, and Bangladesh to take advantage of unstructured regulations and cheap labor.

Regional Analysis

Due to its extensive use in the aerospace, automotive, and infrastructure sectors, Asia Pacific is expected to be the market leader for sandblasting machines over the forecast period and accounted for a 34% share of the global revenue in 2021. The significant Chinese market is a major contributor to both global volume and revenue generation. Despite the fact that average selling prices in the Asia Pacific are lower, there is high demand which will result in substantial market revenue over six years. The North American market is the largest for portable machines, as they are used in both home improvement and automotive applications.
