The increasing adoption of compressors in various industries is the key factor driving the global compressors market. The use of compressors in various industries has increased significantly due to their versatility and efficiency in various applications. Industries such as automotive, chemical, petrochemical, and manufacturing have widely adopted the use of compressors in their processes for a variety of reasons. One of the main reasons for the increasing adoption of compressors is their ability to improve the productivity and efficiency of the industrial processes that move oil and gas from production wells to reservoirs.
Compressors are used for a variety of purposes, such as compressing gases and air, driving pneumatic tools and machinery, and providing energy for a variety of applications. Another reason compressors are so popular is that they reduce downtime and maintenance costs. Compressors are designed and manufactured to withstand harsh industrial environments and provide excellent long-term performance. It also requires minimal maintenance, lowering the compressor's total cost of ownership and saving both time and money. Such factors are therefore expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Rising demand for oil-free compressors will fuel the global compressors market. Compressors are divided into lubricated compressors and non-lubricated compressors according to the type of lubrication. In recent years, oil-powered compressors gained a higher market share than oil-free compressors, but the growing need for pollution-free air in clean room applications is driving demand for oil-free compressors. Oil-free compressor eliminates the risk of product contamination. Additionally, stringent quality standards for the use of Class 0 certified compressors, especially in the F&B, pharmaceutical, electronic and electrical industries, create demand for oil-free compressors. Oil-free compressors use oil to seal the rotor and not cool the compressed air. Instead, it uses cooling water that flows through special pockets in the compressor housing.
Oil-free compressors are widely used in the electronics and medical device industries. Oil-free compressors prevent dirt and dust from entering the product surface, contributing to the production of high-quality, highly reliable electronic and medical products. Factors such as tightening government regulations on various manufacturing processes and the need to improve the quality of manufactured products are increasing the application of cleanrooms in the F&B, pharmaceutical, and aerospace industries. As oil-free compressors help maintain required cleanliness standards, their acceptance rate in cleanroom applications is expected to increase during the forecast period.
Fluctuating prices of raw materials can majorly impede the growth of the market. Raw material price volatility affects production costs. As a result, many major players enter into long-term contracts with their suppliers to reduce the impact of commodity price fluctuations on their businesses. However, smaller providers do not enter into such agreements as they would require a large investment. Therefore, fluctuations in commodity prices affect their business. The main raw materials used to manufacture compressors are stainless steel, iron, bronze, and copper. The prices of these commodities vary depending on factors such as inflation, production, and availability.
A shortage of raw materials has significantly hampered the growth of the market. The motors used to make compressors require rare earth magnets such as neodymium. Boron is required to convert the magnets into permanent magnet motors. These magnets are twice as strong as common ferrite-based magnets. Rare earth metals are difficult to mine and produce. Such metals are found in limited quantities and are mainly found in China. Price fluctuations, therefore, affect the cost of such magnets and permanent magnet motors. China is a major supplier of rare earth magnets. Most compressor suppliers source industrial-quality motors from component suppliers. The factors mentioned above reduce the profitability of vendors and adversely affect the market during the forecast period.
Vendors are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
