Global abrasive blasting market was worth USD 189.4 millions in 2019. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 4.5%) between 2020 and 2027. The demand for abrasive blasting nozzles was estimated at 2.6 million units in 2019. The steady growth in the market can be attributed the increasing demand for abrasive blasting equipment across many industries and verticals such as marine, automotive, industrial and marine. It is important to choose the right nozzle to get the desired results efficiently and effectively. Abrasive blasting can be used in many applications such as the removal of paint and rust from machinery. These nozzles come in a variety of lengths and configurations to meet different requirements. The extent of the task, the area to be cleaned, compressed air volume, and the type or abrasive used will all affect the choice of the right nozzle.
To meet such demanding requirements, a suitable nozzle is essential. The sandblasting machine is a vital part of the abrasive blasting nozzles. Blaster nozzles are in high demand due to the increasing demand for abrasive blasting equipment for tasks such as surface preparation, restoration and graffiti removal. One of the main trends driving market growth is the continued adoption of blasting machines that can operate remotely to abide with the OSHA guidelines for operators.
The blasting nozzle is a critical part of blasting system mechanical control. It optimizes the use of abrasives and helps to achieve appropriate blasting patterns. Manufacturers place a lot of emphasis on the regular, upfront inspection of equipment in order to maintain smooth operations and prevent any unwelcome downtimes. This helps to reduce the overall cost and provides benefits for end-users. If the job requires access to tighter spaces, long nozzles are preferred over shorter ones.
The basic structure of an abrasive blasting device is not well-designed. However, the industry has developed innovative techniques to optimize the acoustics performance of blasting devices and maximize productivity. The designs are being improved to remove coatings, reduce noise emissions and make them more energy-efficient than the existing nozzles on the market. These designs could result in significant labor and energy savings. These nozzles can be used for blasting in both defense and commercial applications.
Venturi nozzles accounted for over 45% of the total revenue in 2019, and are expected to continue dominating the market during the forecast period. This type of nozzle is the most popular and widely used in the abrasive blasting market. These nozzles are primarily used to clean large surfaces. There are many options available, including short venturis, long venturis and double venturis.
From 2020 to 2027, the CAGR for the wide throat segment of the nozzle segment will be approximately 6%. This is an improved version of the long venturi style. This nozzle has a large exit bore and ample throat space. This type of hose can improve productivity by 15% when matched with the smaller-sized hose. If the exit bore is larger, they can be used at higher pressures to produce a greater pattern and less abrasive use.
Carbide tips accounted for 55% of the highest revenue share in 2019, with more than 55%. Carbide tips are more popular than their counterparts due to the cost-effectiveness, durability, and other benefits they offer. The segment of carbide tips has been further divided into tungsten carbide and boron carbide . In 2019, the highest revenue share was held by the tungsten carbide segment.
Tungsten carbide can nozzles have many advantages such as a lower replacement rate, less downtime, greater productivity, and more environmental friendliness. Over the forecast period, steel tips will experience significant growth. Siphon sandblaster machines are the most common use for steel tips. The nozzle wears less than high-pressure nozzles due to lower pressure.
In 2019, the 3/8 inch segment was the most profitable, with a revenue share of more than 35%. It is expected to continue dominating this market for the foreseeable future. For producing a blast pressure of 185 CFM, the 3/8 inch bore size is most common. The nature of the application will determine the size of the bore. A nozzle that has a narrow blast pattern will require a smaller bore, while a nozzle that is more open for larger surfaces will require a larger opening.
Over the forecast period, the 7/16-inch segment will be the fastest growing segment. The bore-sized 7/16 inch nozzle has a larger opening and requires more airflow. This nozzle is best suited for larger surfaces. The bore size should be chosen in accordance to the flow and air pressure available. This will ensure maximum productivity.
In 2019, the marine (shipyards) segment was responsible for more than 30% of all revenue. Abrasive blasting is becoming more common in the marine industry for surface treatment and rust removal. To ensure that ships are maintained, restored, and cleaned efficiently, industry participants are now focusing on dust-less blasting. The demand for marine equipment has been increasing significantly and is expected to continue in the future.
Over the forecast period, construction is expected to experience significant growth. As construction and infrastructure development efforts are intensified around the globe, the demand for abrasive blasting equipment is on the rise. These machines are needed for woodwork and rough wall surface blasting. These machines are being used on a large-scale by municipal corporations to remove graffiti from walls, which is driving the growth of this segment.
In terms of volume and revenue, Asia Pacific was the dominant market in 2019. In 2019, 36% of global revenue was accounted for by the regional market. The market is expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period, with construction activities being pursued in South East Asia and China. Over the forecast period, the market will continue to grow due to the growing demand for abrasive blasting equipment in critical industries and verticals such as aerospace and automotive, and industrial applications.
Abrasive blasting machines are gaining popularity in Europe, which is a result of their increasing use for industrial and domestic applications. Some of the largest automobile manufacturers in Europe, including Germany, the U.K. and Italy, use abrasive blasting to remove rust, paint, and pre-treatment for electroplating. There are significant opportunities for growth in the region's market due to the increasing use of these machines in other industries and verticals such as aerospace, oil & gas, and marine.
There are many manufacturers in the market, with little dominance by any one player. Lightweight nozzles are being made by the top vendors who use superior materials that could reduce operator fatigue. These nozzles are cost-effective and can increase production efficiency. The manufacturers have realized the importance of nozzles for abrasive blasting machines and are now focusing on high-end products made from advanced materials. To remain competitive on the market, manufacturers place a lot of emphasis on R&D. The market leader in abrasive blasting is nozzles are:
