Oil Free Air Compressor Market To Reach $17.2 Billion By 2030

Oil Free Air Compressor Market Growth & Trends

The global oil free air compressor market is anticipated to reach USD 17.2 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing need for energy-efficient compressors, coupled with demand for low-cost portable compressors, is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.

Oil-free air compressors find widespread use in various industries such as power generation, petroleum, chemicals, and manufacturing. These compressors are employed in numerous applications as industries increasingly embrace cost-effective manufacturing methods to address the limitations of traditional production approaches. The heightened demand for energy-efficient compressors stems from their ability to enhance energy distribution and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, stringent environmental regulations imposed by governments worldwide contribute to the rising demand for oil-free air compressors across diverse industries.

The global automotive industry holds a significant share of oil free air compressor market. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, global automotive production reached 85.0 million units in 2022, witnessing an increase of 3.0% compared with the vehicle production recorded worldwide in 2021. As oil free air compressors are used in various stages of vehicle production, right from the usage of compressed air by spray painting guns to its utilization for pushing paints through robots or paint guns onto the body of automobiles, the surge in vehicle production is anticipated to fuel the growth of the global market.

Moreover, increased investments in the construction of new vehicle production facilities to cater to the surging global demand for vehicles are anticipated to further contribute to the demand for oil free air compressors, thereby leading to the growth of the market. Oil-free air compressors play a crucial role in vehicles by providing a clean and reliable source of compressed air for various applications. Unlike traditional oil-lubricated compressors, oil-free variants eliminate the risk of oil contamination in the air supply, ensuring the integrity of critical components such as braking systems. These compressors contribute to enhanced efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and increased environmental sustainability in vehicles. With their ability to deliver contaminant-free compressed air, oil-free air compressors support the overall performance and longevity of vehicles, aligning with the industry's commitment to cleaner and more sustainable transportation solutions.
