Abrasive Blasting Equipment Market Outlook
The global abrasive blasting equipment market size was USD 509.2 Million in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 745.9 Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period 2023-2031. The market growth is attributed to the growing demand for abrasive blasting equipment across industries, especially in the automobile sector.
Abrasive blasting is the process of propelling abrasive material at high pressure against a surface. This process is known as abrasive grit blasting, also known as abrasive blasting or sandblasting. Abrasive blasting is useful for removing unwanted deposits on cleaning surfaces, and changing the shape or properties of a surface in a variety of applications and products.
Abrasive equipment can be used on concrete, wood, fiberglass, plastic, and metals such as steel, aluminum, and cast iron. Increasing demand for abrasive blasting equipment due to the massive expansion of the automotive industry, especially in major economies such as the US, India, and China is a major aspect of the market.

Abrasive Blasting Equipment Market Segmental Insights
Based on blasting types, the global abrasive blasting equipment market is divided into sandblasting, wet blasting, shot blasting, water blasting/washing & degreasing, vacuum blasting, centrifugal blasting, soda blasting, steel grit blasting, bristle blasting, air blower fans blasting, pencil blasting, bead blasting, and others. The wet blasting segment is expected to register substantial growth during the forecast period, due to its capability to reduce the risk of being flammable or hazardous during the blasting process.
In terms of the control system, the global market is segmented into manual, semi-automatic, and automatic/robot. The automatic/robot segment is expected to register a significant CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing use of automation in various industrial applications, particularly in the maritime, petrochemical, and building & construction industries.
On the basis of tank capacity, the global abrasive blasting equipment market is categorized as above 3000 L, 2000 L To 3000 L, 1000 L To 2000 L, and less than 1000 L. The less than 1000 L segment is expected to constitute a significant share of the market in the coming years owing to the increasing adoption of abrasive blasting equipment under 1000 L in the automotive and construction industry.
Based on products, the global market is bifurcated into portable/mobile and stationary/fixed. The portable/mobile segment is estimated to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period due to their versatility and the wide availability by a range of 40 liters-140 liters for dry media end-use applications.
In terms of end-users, the global abrasive blasting equipment market is segmented into petrochemicals, aerospace & defense, marine, oil & gas, construction, manufacturing, automotive, and others. The automotive segment is projected to account for a major market share in the coming years owing to the rising usage of abrasive blasting machines in the automobile industry. However, the construction segment is expected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing usage of abrasive blasting equipment in coating and painting.
On the basis of distribution channels, the global market is fragmented into direct sales (OEMs), sales through distributors, and sales online. The direct sales original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) segment is anticipated to hold a substantial share of the global abrasive blasting equipment market due to its rising popularity and wide availability of a variety of products.
Region Outlook
On the basis of regions, the global abrasive blasting equipment market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.
