Meeting such intricate demands requires the use of an appropriate nozzle to achieve the intended outcomes. Nozzles in abrasive blasting play a crucial role in sandblasting machines. The increasing need for such machines for tasks such as surface preparation, restoration, & graffiti removal contributes to the demand for blast nozzles. The ongoing adoption of blasting machines that can be operated remotely, aligning with the operator guidelines established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), is a significant trend propelling market growth.

Nevertheless, the pandemic underscored the significance of workplace safety and health measures. Consequently, there was a heightened focus on personal protective equipment (PPE) and strict adherence to safety protocols. This surge in emphasis led to an increased demand for nozzles specifically designed to enhance worker safety, including those with advanced dust suppression features.

Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers

Ongoing adoption of blasting machines operated remotely

The blasting nozzle holds a pivotal role in the mechanical regulation of the blasting system. It aids in optimizing the utilization of abrasives, attaining suitable blasting patterns, and efficiently using compressed air. Therefore, manufacturers prioritize routine and upfront equipment checks to ensure seamless operations and prevent unexpected downtimes. This practice not only helps in lowering overall costs but also provides significant advantages to end-users. Typically, longer nozzles are preferred unless the task requires accessing confined spaces.

Despite the basic structure of an abrasive blasting nozzle, industry participants have introduced innovative design techniques to optimize acoustic performance and enhance productivity. These design enhancements aim to provide improved coating removal, & to reduce noise emissions by nearly 15-30 dB compared to existing nozzles. These designs are expected to play a crucial role in achieving significant energy and labor cost savings. Anticipated increases in sales are attributed to the use of these nozzles in blasting operations across commercial and defense applications.

By Type Analysis

Venturi nozzle segment held the largest share in 2023

Venturi nozzle held the largest share. It stands out as the most used and favored nozzle type in the abrasive blasting industry. Primarily employed for cleaning expansive surfaces, venturi nozzles come in diverse variants, including short, long, & double venturi.

The wide-throat nozzle segment is projected to grow at the fastest rate. This nozzle type, an improved version of the long venturi-style nozzle, is characterized by a spacious entry area (throat) and a generously sized exit bore. When paired with a hose of the same size, this nozzle can enhance productivity by about 15% compared to those with a smaller throat. Additionally, it can be utilized at higher pressures to produce a 60 percent larger pattern with reduced abrasive consumption when equipped with delivering the exit bore.

By Material Analysis

Carbide tips segment registered the largest market share in 2023

Carbide tips segment accounted for the largest share. Carbide nozzles, including variants such as tungsten carbide, boron carbide, and silicon carbide, are preferred due to their cost-effectiveness and durability compared to other materials. Carbide tips provide exceptional precision and control during abrasive blasting, thanks to their sharp cutting edges. This allows for accurate targeting and removal of specific areas, facilitating selective surface treatment with minimal material loss. The precision offered by carbide tips contributes to achieving desired surface finishes and enhances overall blasting efficiency.

The steel tips segment will grow at a substantial pace. These tips are predominantly utilized with siphon sandblaster units. The lower pressure to which the nozzle is exposed, compared to high-pressure alternatives, results in reduced wear. Additionally, their angular shape and hardness contribute to high cleaning efficiency, allowing them to effectively eliminate coatings, rust, and contaminants from a variety of surfaces, including metal, concrete, and wood.

By Bore Size Analysis

3/8-inch segment registered the largest market share in 2023

The 3/8-inch segment accounted for the largest share. This bore size is widely used to achieve an effective blast pressure with a 185 CFM compressor. The choice of a nozzle with a suitable bore size is contingent on the specific application. For instance, a tighter blast necessitates the need for a smaller bore size, while applications involve larger surfaces with larger opening nozzles.

The 7/16-inch segment will grow at a substantial pace. Nozzles with a 7/16-inch bore size have a larger opening and require more airflow. These nozzles are generally suitable for applications involving larger surfaces. The choice of bore size is determined by the available air pressure and flow to ensure maximum productivity.

Regional Insights

APAC region held the largest share of the global market in 2023

APAC region dominated the market. The robust expansion of the construction industry in the region primarily drives the region's growth.
