       Most abrasives are available in a variety of grit sizes, depending on the desired surface finish. For example, aluminum oxide is a hard, durable and strong material that can be recycled and reused many times. Increased climate awareness has led to increased demand for more environmentally friendly materials, thereby improving industry dynamics.
       According to a research report by Global Market Insights Inc, the sandblasting media market size is expected to reach approximately US$14.8 billion by the end of 2027. Some of the notable trends driving the market are discussed below.
       Sandblasting is widely used in various fields due to its numerous benefits. The main advantage of this method is that the material used is inert and therefore does not react chemically with the material being cleaned. Other methods of using chemical cleaning products carry the risk of potential reactions and property damage.
       In addition, these effects may not appear immediately and may only appear after application to the surface. To solve this problem, the surface must be re-sanded and re-coated, which adds to the cost of the entire process. Some of the other benefits of sandblasting or grit blasting include environmental protection, efficiency, operator safety, efficiency and more. Thus, the growing demand for sandblasting plays a key role in the growth of the sandblasting materials market.
       In the automotive industry, sandblasting is widely used for various purposes, which has led to the adoption of various media in the industry. One such remedy is walnut shells. Walnut cleaning involves cleaning your car’s engine intake valves and manifolds using a high-pressure air jet containing finely ground walnut shells, which are biodegradable.
       This process helps remove carbon deposits from older GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) engines, thereby improving vehicle performance. Because this type of deposit is common in GDI engines, periodic cleaning is required. The process of cleaning the intake door with walnut is very popular among luxury car owners. The widespread use of walnut sandblasting in the automobile industry is contributing to the overall expansion of the business. By 2027, the sandblasting material production volume in the walnut shell sector is expected to show a significant CAGR.
       In the construction industry, experts prefer sandblasting to give the material a smooth surface or to clean it, which can be a difficult task, especially around corners. If the surface has been painted for a long time or has had multiple layers, some paint may remain even if a chemical paint remover is used. Sandblasting paint removers work on all surfaces and are less labor intensive, although the process produces results in less time.
       This method is great for eliminating gaps and corners. Sandblasting is also useful for removing paint from metal surfaces as it removes dust, grease and other coatings. Using an abrasive blasting agent to remove rust will prevent the steel from oxidizing and prevent rapid rusting. This makes the surface easier to paint and prevents paint from peeling, causing unnecessary costs. Sandblasting can be used on a variety of surfaces including brick, concrete, wood and cast iron, driving demand for the product in the construction industry.
       Abrasive blasting suppliers have seen the field emerge in innovative ways to incorporate advanced technologies into blasting technology. Robot Blast is one such example. This revolutionary process is used to effectively, accurately and safely strip, prepare, clean and/or finish metal surfaces.
       Automated blasting systems remove operators from the blasting area and protect them from harm while ensuring continuous operation, optimizing productivity and uptime. The remote control system can also adjust the trajectory and speed of the nozzle. These systems also include recovery devices and dust collectors that collect airborne particles and support the recycling of sandblasting abrasives. These advanced technologies are widely used in various fields, making the products more future-proof.
       Using the right surface finishing materials is important for a smooth process, which has led to increased consumer interest in sandblasting materials. Depending on the material, different products are used to effectively clean, strip, or shape surfaces for different purposes.
       Additionally, technological developments in the industry coupled with a growing focus on the adoption of environmentally friendly media have improved the industry’s product portfolio. Increasing demand for innovation, safety, automation and efficient media is expected to significantly drive the growth of the sandblasting media industry over the forecast period.
