Growing environmental concerns associated with the utilization of equipment, such as wastewater discharge and noise pollution is the primary factor hampering the demand. Vapor blasting equipment has heavy water use and faces problems in disposing of contaminated water, resulting in less adoption of vapor blasting equipment among municipalities.
The government and several health organizations restricted the use of vapor blasting equipment as it contains more than 0.1% of silica. This is encouraging the key players to introduce dry ice blasting equipment as a substitute for vapor blasting equipment. The growing availability of the rent and reuse market among developing countries is also expected to hamper the sales of vapor-blasting equipment.
Increased Adoption of Vapor Blasting Equipment in the Aerospace Industry will Boost Sales
Expansion of the aerospace sector in France is the key factor underpinning the growth in vapor blasting equipment market. The French government has launched several new initiatives for these regions to support aerospace sector research and development.
The vapor blasting equipment is being progressively used in aviation manufacturing and MRO for remanufacturing jets, auxiliary power units, and landing gear parts. The machine reduces abrasive consumption, increases the life of items such as hoses and nozzles, and reduces the requirement for expensive filtration systems
France is expected to witness significant growth in the vapor-blasting equipment market in the coming decade. Enhancement in the economic condition along with the significant developments in the aerospace industry is expected to propel the demand for vapor blasting equipment in the coming years.
China to Contribute Over 2/5th of Overall Vapor Blasting Equipment Sales
China is expected to remain one of the prominent producers of vapor blasting equipment across the globe owing to the high presence of manufacturers. China is expected to account for a market share of around 40.5% and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period.
