The Ohio & Michigan air compressor market size is anticipated to reach USD 395.7 million by 2030 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is experiencing growth driven by the strong presence of industrial manufacturing and automotive production. Both states house a significant number of fabrication plants, OEMs, and tier suppliers, all of which rely heavily on compressed air systems for assembly lines, automation, and tooling. The growing emphasis on plant modernization and the adoption of Industry 4.0 practices further fuels the demand for efficient, high-performance air compressors, particularly rotary screw and oil-free models. In addition, with the rise in infrastructure and construction activity across urban and industrial corridors, demand for portable compressors is also increasing, especially in applications such as road work and site-based construction.
Opportunities in both states are particularly strong in energy-efficient solutions. With increasing pressure to reduce operational costs and carbon emissions, many manufacturers retrofit or replace legacy compressor systems with units equipped with Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) and smart controls. Regulatory frameworks in these states influence compressor selection, particularly concerning air quality and energy efficiency. Compliance with OSHA standards for workplace noise and compressed air safety, along with EPA regulations targeting industrial emissions and energy usage, drives the transition toward quieter, cleaner, and more efficient compressor technologies.
Key market players, including Atlas Copco AB, Ingersoll Rand, and KAESER KOMPRESSOREN, focus on strategies such as product launches, collaborations, strategic alliances, mergers, expansions, and acquisitions. For instance, in April 2023, Rotair, a subsidiary of ELGi, announced the launch of two new portable air compressors, the MDVN34E (electric) and MDVN32B (petrol). The electric MDVN34E is designed for job sites with diesel engine bans, while the petrol MDVN32B offers similar performance to diesel models but with lower emissions and cost.

Based on product, the rotary/screw segment dominated the market in 2024. The demand for these compressors is rising due to their ability to deliver a continuous, stable flow of compressed air, making them ideal for industries that require high-performance, 24/7 operations, such as manufacturing, automotive, and food processing.
Based on lubrication, the oil filled segment led the market in 2024. These compressors are more robust and make less noise than oil-free compressors. These factors are expected to drive the demand for oil-filled air compressors over the forecast period.
Based on operating mode, the electric segment dominated the market in 2024. As environmental regulations become more stringent, companies are expected to increasingly turn to electric air compressors to reduce emissions and comply with environmental standards.
Based on type, the stationary segment held the largest market share in 2024. Stationary air compressors often have more efficient motors and components, which ensures lower energy consumption and operating costs over time. They provide a consistent supply of high-quality compressed air, crucial for precision tasks and sensitive equipment.
Based on applications, the manufacturing segment dominated the market in 2024. Manufacturing processes often require compressed air for various applications such as operating pneumatic tools, controlling valves, and powering machinery. As the manufacturing sector expands, the demand for compressed air also grows.
Based on power range, the 51 - 250 kW segment accounted for the highest market share in 2024, driven by its capability to handle a wide range of tasks, from running extensive pneumatic tools and machinery to providing air for industrial processes such as material handling and packaging.
Ohio dominated the market in 2024 due to strong automotive, aerospace, and semiconductor manufacturing activity. Rising demand for energy-efficient technologies such as variable speed drives and oil-free systems further supports this growth.
In April 2023, Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd. announced that Hitachi Global Air Power, a new firm uniting its global compressed air business, would be created. Because of this initiative, Sullair will now be known as Hitachi Global Air Power.
