About the Report

About the Report

Market Overview

An Air compressor is a device that transforms power from an electric motor, diesel engine, or gasoline engine, etc. into potential energy stored in pressurized air i.e., compressed air. It has a wide range of applications in vacuum packaging, dehydration, air blowing, tool powering, spray painting, cleaning, and medical equipment.

According to Ken Research estimates, the Global Air Compressor Market – which grew from around ~US$25 Bn in 2017 to nearly ~US$30 Bn in 2022 – is expected to grow further into a more than ~US$40 Bn opportunity by 2028. It is expected to record a positive CAGR of ~5% during the forecasted period (2022-2028), owing to the rapid growth in industrialization and rising investments to enhance the oil and gas pipeline network.

  • One of the main factors propelling the expansion of the global air compressor market is the expanding oil and gas sector. The market is expanding as a result of the increased energy demand in developing nations like China, India, and South Korea. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) by 2045, it is anticipated that India's oil consumption will have increased by a factor of 2x, to reach 11 million barrels per day.
  • Environmentally friendly compressor technologies, low maintenance, retrofitting of existing systems, efficient operation at lower costs, rising adoption of variable-speed systems, oil-free lubrication processes, and growth in the popularity of portable models are propelling the growth of the market.
  • The global market is expanding due to the rising demand for air compressors that are energy-efficient in order to reduce operating costs. The market growth is anticipated to be positively impacted by the increasing initiatives taken by key industry players to create affordable and environmentally friendly air compressors. Several businesses have already created next-generation systems that provide high-performance capabilities at reasonable prices. Atlas Copco, a Swedish multinational industrial company, in 2022, has launched a New Energy-Efficient GA VSDS Compressor that provides up to 60% energy savings and intelligent, adaptable operation.
  • Strict government restrictions related to noise levels and greenhouse gases emitted by air compressors would be a significant barrier for this market. According to Legal Information Institute, a non-profit organization, portable air compressors with a maximum rated capacity of less than or equal to 250 cubic feet per minute (cfm) should not produce an average sound level in excess of 76 dBA when measured and evaluated in accordance with the methodology given by this regulation.
  • Governments all over the world implemented stringent national lockdowns in 2020 as a result of the growing need to stop the COVID-19 illness from spreading. This in turn hindered a number of businesses and enterprises from expanding. The pandemic also had an impact on the air compressor market, which saw a significant fall in sales and profitability. But post-COVID-19, it's anticipated that a greater emphasis on energy efficiency, energy recovery, and lowering CO2 emissions would fuel demand for air compressors.

Key Trends by Market Segment

By Type: The Stationary segment held the largest market share of the Global Air Compressor Market in 2021, due to the extensive use of these compressors in the industrial sector.

  • The expansion of air compressor market has been driven by the rising demand for stationary air compressors in the global manufacturing sector.
  • Furthermore, the demand for stationary air compressors is anticipated to increase in the near future as a result of the rapid industrialization in developing nations like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, India, Brazil, and China.

By Technology:Rotary segment held the largest share of the global air compressor market in 2021, due to the increased demand for rotary air compressors in major industries, including pulp and paper, mechanical and electrical machinery, mining and metallurgy, and electric power.

  • A rotary compressor is a type of air compressor that creates compressed air using two rotating screws. In comparison to other compressor types, rotary screw air compressors are cleaner, quieter, and more effective.



By Lubrication
: The oil-filled segment accounted for the majority share of the global air compressor market in 2021, as they were widely adopted for commercial applications in the energy, manufacturing, and chemical industries. They are durable and produce low noise compared to the oil-free compressor.

  • Heavy-duty applications frequently use oil-filled segments because of their reliability and resistance to harsh environments. Higher operational output and improved air delivery are made possible by the durable construction and long-lasting design.
  • Oil-filled compressors are more appropriate for industrial applications since they can work at a higher capacity. Another element that has contributed to the widespread use of these compressors in small- and medium-scale industrial applications is their affordability.
  • Furthermore, several benefits of oil-free compressors, such as maintenance-free operation and a lower risk of contamination, are anticipated to be key factors in the market growth.

By Application: The manufacturing segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021 of the global air compressor market due to the increase in investments in the industrialization of developing and underdeveloped regions is driving the segment's expansion.

  • Developing nations like India, China, and Brazil are rapidly industrializing, and the manufacturing sector is seeing an increase in demand for advanced and energy-efficient air compressors.
  • In order to promote innovation in solar manufacturing and recycling, the Biden-Harris Administration in July 2022, announced a number of new programs and US$56 million in funding through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), these investments in the manufacturing segment help in accelerating the growth of the air compressor market.



By Geography:
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share in 2021 of the global air market, due to the increasing demand for air compressors in a number of sectors, such as manufacturing, home appliance, oil and gas, and food and beverage industries.

  • In addition, there are numerous compressor producers in China and India. For instance, Compressor Products International (CPI) was acquired by a Howden Air and Gas Production Company in December 2021. Through this action, CPI was able to take advantage of development prospects and expand its global distribution and service networks in China.
  • The manufacturers are also paying close attention to the attractive markets of India and Japan; their efforts are mostly focused on building production facilities and setting up established supply chains in the area. Additionally, in the recent past, the majority of consumers from various end-use industries have decided to seek out investments in the Asia Pacific region's emerging economies, which is pivoting the development of manufacturing clusters throughout those regions and driving up sales of goods for the manufacturing industry.
