The global abrasive blasting nozzle market size is expected to reach USD 289.0 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.7% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing adoption of abrasive blasting machines for cleaning, repairing, and surface finishing, among other applications, is expected to drive the market growth. Construction projects being aggressively pursued, particularly in developing economies, such as India and Brazil, are also expected to contribute to the growth.
Additionally, the key companies are developing nozzles that reduce the lifetime healthcare costs, OSHA noise citations, incidents of worker hearing damage, and enhance workplace productivity. Vendors are particularly focusing on using advanced materials to develop light-weight nozzles as part of the efforts to reduce the overall operator fatigue and enhance workplace productivity. Vendors are also employing proprietary technologies to reduce the exit velocity while effectively maintaining the particle velocity, thereby reducing the noise levels at the source without compromising with productivity.
Abrasive blasting nozzles are being used for diverse applications as different types, such as venturi nozzles that offer high abrasive velocity, angled nozzles that are ideal for compact spaces, and straight bore nozzles that are suitable for close-range spot blasting, are introduced in the market. The ability to blast nozzles to ensure consistent surface finishing is expected to open significant opportunities in the market over the forecast period. For instance, blasting nozzles are increasingly being used for sandblasting operations on automobiles to strip-off paint, rust, grease, and oil.
