Centrifugal Air Compressor Market To Reach $11.57 Billion By 2030

Centrifugal Air Compressor Market Growth & Trends

The global centrifugal air compressor market size is anticipated to reach USD 11.57 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.3% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is driven by several key factors, including the energy efficiency, reduced number of frictional components, and superior airflow capacity of these compressors. Moreover, their extensive utilization across various industries, including gas turbines, oil refineries, petrochemical manufacturing, food and beverage production, and manufacturing plants, is expected to propel the market growth throughout the forecast period.

The market is gaining traction, primarily attributed to the rising adoption of new oil and gas projects and the growing demand within the food and beverage industry. In addition, advancements in technology and the expanding industrial sectors in emerging economies such as Brazil, China, India, Japan, and other nations are poised to offer significant growth prospects for the market in the foreseeable future.

The demand for centrifugal air compressors is expected to increase in the upcoming years, driven by a focus on energy recovery, energy efficiency, and decreasing CO₂ emissions. Initiatives such as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, promoted by the International Energy Agency (IEA), emphasize significant investments in energy efficiency to reduce energy waste and lower CO₂ emissions. In addition, the growing need for value-added services is anticipated to drive the expansion of the global market during the forecast period.

Industries like manufacturing have increasingly embraced cost-effective and energy-efficient production methods to boost their productivity and profitability. The rising need for centrifugal air compressors in operational energy distribution applications, thanks to their cost-saving attributes, is expected to further drive the growth of the industry.

The competitive landscape of the market in 2022 was marked by the presence of key industry leaders with significant influence on the market. These leaders, including Atlas Copco; Danfoss; Elliot Group; Hertz Kompressoren, Hitachi Ltd; Howden Group; Ingersoll-Rand plc; Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited; Kobe Steel, Ltd.; Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd.; held substantial market shares, reflecting their strong market positions. To meet the rising demand from diverse industries, corporations are pursuing business growth through strategies such as mergers and acquisitions, the establishment of new manufacturing facilities, and geographic expansion initiatives. For instance, in April 2023, ELGi launched its oil-free air compressor’s portfolio. This new portfolio is specifically designed to address European customers’ needs such as the low life cycle cost of compressed air solutions.
