According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Industrial Air Compressor Market is accounted for $33.95 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $56.69 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. An industrial air compressor uses either an electric motor or diesel or gasoline to convert power to potential energy stored in pressurized air. Industrial air compressors have been used in several applications such as for spraying crops, ventilating silos in agricultural facilities, running pneumatic machinery in manufacturing operations, and operating laundry pressers in dry cleaners.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Technological Modernizations and High Demand for Portable Air Compressor
As there are developments in technology, more industries are harnessing the potential of compressed air as an energy alternative and users of air compressors trade up their equipment for newer models. Replacement of equipment with new and improved technology air compressors leads to boosted efficiency, greater ease of use, and overall savings in operating costs. These qualities have been compelling users of air compressors to replace their machines regularly, thereby driving the market growth. The increasing popularity of air compressors is the innovation that goes into newer models in the air compressors market. As manufacturers in India have been announcing new types of reciprocating and rotary screw air compressors, the machines become more robust, easier to operate, and better equipped for some of the most demanding applications across a wide range of industrial uses.
Restraint:
High Cost & Maintenance
The air compressors are extremely susceptible to over-heating. Compressed air can generate lots of heat and all that hot air has to be removed before it reaches the warning temperature as it can cause damage to the system. The cost of it ranges from $100-$600 depending on the application. Other hidden costs such as installation and operational costs associated with it restrain the market growth. High temperature may cause damage to the air compressor over some time, so identifying a temperature problem early is critical. Therefore, high cost and maintenance problems have been hampering the growth of the market.
Opportunity:
Growing Demand for Energy-Efficient Air Compressors
With a growing focus on energy costs and rising greenhouse gas emissions, attention has shifted toward the use of energy-efficient compressed air solutions. A compressed air system is one of the key industry equipment that has to follow energy policy. Meanwhile, easy and safe generation of compressed air is increasing the use of air compressors in various industrial applications. According to the US DOE, 50% of industrial plant air systems harbor opportunities for large energy savings with relatively low project costs. To achieve energy savings, compressed air systems require proper maintenance and high-level monitoring. This results in an enhanced life cycle of pneumatic devices and ensures higher reliability of compressed air systems. Modern compressors can achieve long-term savings and ensure a cleaner environment. Environment-friendly compressors need less fuel and make less noise. Also, the modern generation air compressor systems have a heat recovery feature, which helps recover up to 94% of the heat generated by the compressors. This recovered energy can be used for pre-heating of the feed water or air. This is a major advancement for power generation industries. The modern air system also recommends using IE4 compliant motors as they help reduce electricity consumption.
Threat:
Adherence to Rigorous Quality Standards
The countries have introduced new emission standards for compressors to improve air quality by decreasing the discharge of contaminants. The criteria are often rationalized time-to-time, which may need the manufacturer to make radical adjustments in the design and performance of the industrial air compressors. Also, contagion of compressed air is a severe issue for several industries such as food & beverages, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. A safer compressed air supply is required to uphold an efficient and cost-effective production. The majority of the industrialized nations have imposed stringent rules and regulations, which must be adhered to during the use of compressors, to limit the emission of contaminants by air compressors and prevent health hazards due to contaminated compressed air. Additionally, in the compressed air industry, standards may also be produced by trade associations such as PNEUROP (European Association of Manufacturers of Compressors, Vacuum Pumps, Pneumatic Tools, and Air & Condensate Treatment Equipment) and CAGI (United States Compressed Air and Gas Institute).
Oil-Flooded segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Oil-flooded segment is expected to have largest share, due to the advancement of food grade oils and increasing usage as they are more economical and generally complete the compression process in a single stage. These compressors are generally used in industries such as plastics, oil & gas, rubber, textiles, metals, and mining, among others, where cleaner compressed air requirement is optional. Oil-flooded compressors use oil to lubricate the air compression chamber, lubricate parts, and seal in the air.
The rotary segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The rotary segment is expected to have the highest CAGR, due to the high adoption of rotary air compressors in large industrial applications. These compressors are further bifurcated into scroll, screw, and a few other technologies such as lobe & vane. Rotary air compressors have been replacing the reciprocating industrial compressors since the past few years and are likely to continue in the upcoming years. They require minimum maintenance, offer better efficiency, and possess comparatively lower preliminary costs.
Region with highest share:
The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share, owing to the growth of industries such as chemicals and petrochemicals, manufacturing, power generation, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverages. It is driven by increasing industrialization and development activities in the emerging economies of the region. China leads the vehicle production by a distinguished margin. These factors along with the electronic sector progress in India, China, South Korea, and Japan will indicate the regional industrial air compressors demand.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR, owing to the growth potential from varied industries, high adoption due to availability of energy-efficient products, demand for technologically advanced & low-cost products, and others. However, each factor has its definite impact on the market. Increasing application of oil-free compressors in healthcare industries due to stringent regulation has been proliferating the market growth. Additionally, the growing adoption of portable air compressors and replacement of older equipment with new models have been creating opportunities for the market across this region.
