Industrial Air Compressor Market Dynamics, Competitive Landscape, Opportunities and Forecast to 2023

Global Industrial Air Compressor Market

An air compressor uses an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine and others into potential energy which has to be stored as pressurized air. Market Research Future (MRFR) has published a research report about the Industrial Air Compressor Market that determines advancement for this market at 5.63% CAGR between 2016 and 2023.

The major factors driving the global industrial air compressor market growth include energy efficiency and easy maintenance. Other factors contributing to the market growth include rising demand for energy efficient compressors, rising industrialization, rising energy consumption, and global expansion of liquefaction facilities. However, factors such as strict government regulations regarding emission of greenhouse gases and noise pollution can restrain the market growth.

Global Industrial Air Compressor Market Segmentation:

The global industrial air compressor market has been segmented on the basis of end-use, pressure, seal, type, and lastly, region. Based on end-user, this market has been segmented into chemicals & petrochemicals, oil & gas, manufacturing, and others. The oil & gas segment is likely to dominate the global market during the forecast period due to rising investments for construction of gas liquefaction plants in the Asia Pacific region and North America.

The pressure-based segmentation segments this market into up to 20 bar, 20-100 bar, above 100 bar. During the forecast period, up to 20 bar segment is likely to hold the largest market share. On the basis of the seal, the market has been segmented into oil-lubricated and oil-free. During the forecast period, the oil-free segment is expected to dominate the market as these compressors are less expensive, lightweight, and produce maximum airflow and pressure.

By type, the global industrial air compressor market has been segmented into dynamic displacement and positive displacement. During the forecast period, the positive displacement is estimated to hold the largest share due to the rising demand for high output pressure compressors.
