Global Compressor Rental Industry Outlook

Technavio’s market research analysts have predicted the global compressor rental market to grow at a steady CAGR of close to 7% over the forecast period. With the revival of the mining equipment market, the market for compressor rental is envisaged to have a positive outlook over the forecast period. Lately, the mining industry has been facing a challenging situation due to reduced investments and weak demand from major regions, including North America and Europe. From 2017 onward, the mining industry is likely to grow steadily, which will encourage the mining equipment manufacturers to increase their CapEx. Moreover, unexplored markets such as Latin America and Africa are envisaged to become potential new markets for mining equipment manufacturers. The increasing demand for precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum and coal will lead to an augmented demand for mining equipment like continuous machines, longwall machines, hydraulic shovels, and cable shovels. Furthermore, the increasing demand for mining equipment will bolster the demand for rental compressor services since the mining industry is considered to be a one of the most significant end-user of compressor rental services.

In this industry research report, the analysts have estimated factors such as the introduction of next-generation air compressors will contribute to the growth of this market in the coming years. The leading vendors in the market are constantly innovating product offerings to differentiate their products in a highly competitive market. Extensive research and development have enabled compressor manufacturers to develop new-age compressors that make use of variable speed technology and also have a particular drive that controls the speed. Moreover, the compressors with variable speed technology are energy efficient and which is attributed to its continuous and real-time operational nature. Therefore, the new compressors with variable speed drive technology are far superior to fixed speed air compressor and also consumes very less energy, which will drive the growth of this market until the end of 2020.
