Air Compressors Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increased adoption of variable speed controllers is notably driving the air compressors market growth, although factors such as fluctuations in raw material prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the air compressors industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Air Compressors Market Driver
The increased adoption of variable speed controllers is a major factor driving the global air compressors market share growth. A Variable Speed Drive (VSD) allows air compressors that power multiple applications to run at a uniform speed, regardless of the application's requirement. End-users can realize energy savings using a variable speed drive as it controls the speed of the motor according to the application. The advantage of using VSDs is that it saves energy consumption by running at the required speed. Thus, it saves both time and energy by controlling the air pressure and functioning of the motor, eliminating blow-off losses. Air compressors with variable speed controllers are embedded with sensors that can detect a wide range of variables like temperature and pressure, which can be fed with a drive control module to determine the motor speed and output frequency. The market for air compressors with variable speed controllers is expected to grow substantially during the forecast period as the technology offers several advantages. Continuous innovations in improving the efficiency of compressor systems in terms of technologies will intensify the adoption of these air compressors in end-user industries.
Key Air Compressors Market Trend
The rising mergers and acquisitions is another factor supporting the global air compressors market share growth. The air compressor market is reaching the mature stage, and thus vendors face intense competition in terms of price, product quality, efficiency, supply chain, and product diversification. Several vendors offer air compressors at both the global and regional levels, and to sustain and expand their market shares, resorting to M&A as a major business strategy. By combining the activities of the two companies, manufacturers can not only reduce the cost of production but enhance their performance also. There are several instances of M&A in the air compressor market, with the objective of either growing, increasing the pricing power of the supply chain, or eliminating competition. For instance, in February 2020, Gardner Denver Holdings Inc. merged with Ingersoll Rand Industrial, and the newly merged entity was named Ingersoll Rand Inc. This trend is likely to continue in the forthcoming years too, as the global air compressor market reaches the stage of maturity.
Key Air Compressors Market Challenge
The fluctuations in raw material prices will be a major challenge for the global air compressors market share growth during the forecast period. The availability of raw materials, competition among vendors, and labor costs are the important factors that govern the production cost of air compressors. Although the production costs in most of the developing nations of APAC, such as China and India, are much lower than in Europe, the volatility in raw material prices has an adverse impact on air compressor manufacturers. Aluminum, steel, and castings are the key raw materials used in the production of compressors. The prices of these raw materials fluctuate owing to inflationary pressure and their scarcity. As the market is highly competitive, the vendors cannot pass on the excess cost to the end-users, which reduces their profit margins. Also, vendors must provide constant maintenance and support to end-users, which increases the overall cost of ownership and has a negative impact on the profit margins of the vendors. This forces vendors to deal constantly with price fluctuations to remain competitive, which is a challenge to them, essentially hindering the growth of the market.
This air compressors market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.

The air compressors market share growth in the stationary air compressor segment will be significant during the forecast period. Stationary air compressors are used at sites that require uninterrupted supply and more cubic meters of compressed air. The primary industries using stationary air compressors include manufacturing and oil and gas, as these industries need high power output to operate their equipment, machinery, and other accessories. However, stationary air compressors cost higher than portable air compressors. Moreover, portable air compressors are gaining popularity due to the ease with which they can be used in various applications around the job site. Due to this, the stationary air compressor segment is expected to exhibit a slower growth rate during the forecast period than the portable air compressor segment.
