As a result, during the projection period, the manufacturers will have an opportunity owing to the adoption of energy-efficient technologies.

Furthermore, the aging population in the U.S. is boosting the pharmaceutical industry's expansion. In addition to the aging and growing population, the U.S. pharmaceutical sector is expanding due to increased purchasing power and access to high-quality healthcare and medications for families in the global lower and middle classes. Moreover, oil-free compressors provide less wastage, greater product purity, efficient processes, and increased safety in the pharmaceutical industry, which will further augment the market growth.

Product Insights

The portable product segment led the market and accounted for 35.7% of the global revenue share in 2022. Growing demand for energy-efficient, low-maintenance devices is expected to be driven by growing industrialization. For instance, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that USD 66 billion in funding was provided through government stimulus packages for initiatives related to energy efficiency. These aforementioned factors will drive the demand for portable oil-free air compressors in the coming years.

Portable compressors are widely used in construction & mining activities. Oil-free portable air compressors and generators are dependable power sources utilized mainly for tools and machinery in the construction sector. They are also extensively used across various industrial applications, owing to their convenience in shipping the equipment. These aforementioned factors will drive the demand for portable compressors in construction & mining activities.

The stationary oil air compressors are fixed in one place unlike portables and are preferred for long-term projects. In addition, the stationary air compressor is in high demand for automotive, machinery, and other industrial heavy-duty applications. However, stationary compressors are expected to witness slow growth compared to portable owing to special installation considerations required to mount them.

The stationary product segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.0% over the forecast period. Due to the importance of high-quality products, these products provide a greater tank size, resulting in a higher air-compression capacity, and are widely utilized in the oil & gas and construction industries. These aforementioned factors will drive demand for stationery products in the coming years.

Technology Insights

The reciprocating segment led the market and accounted for 35.7% of the global revenue share in 2022. Reciprocating compressors are known as positive displacement compressors. Low maintenance cost, higher-pressure generation, flexibility of use, and high efficiencies are expected to drive the demand for the reciprocating segment during the forecast period.

The most common types of air compressors are reciprocating and rotary, while centrifugal air compressors are employed in severe or extreme applications. They are employed in the reduction of wellhead casing gas, vapor recovery (VRU), gas boosting, gas blanketing, flare removal, gas gathering, gas evacuation, and increased oil recovery. These aforementioned factors will augment the demand for oil-free air compressors in the coming years.

Rotary air compressors are known as positive displacement gas compressing machines. These compressors dependably provide industrial processes in commercial, trade, and workshop settings with high-quality compressed air or gas. Longer product life cycles and consumer expectations for greater energy savings are all factors that contribute to a significant portion of the total life cycle expenses of compressor maintenance and operation. Due to this, rotary compressors now have a higher revenue share than reciprocating compressors.

The centrifugal product segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.0% over the forecast period. The refining, automotive, and oil & gas industries majorly use centrifugal products. These industries' quick development is a major driver of the segment's growth. Due to advantages like a quicker payback period, which is a major factor for consumers, centrifugal technology is typically favored in industrial settings, driving market expansion.

Power Rating Insights

The 15-55kW power-rating segment led the market and accounted for 35.7% of the global revenue share in 2022. There has been an upsurge in the awareness of air quality and related negative consequences on the environment. The stringent government regulations about environmental air protection and CO₂emissions impelled oil-free air compressor manufacturers to develop energy-efficient products.

With the deep retrofit accelerator, the Canadian government has expanded funding for energy efficiency, with USD 200 million in 2022, specifically provided to assist low-income people to make their homes more energy-efficient and cost-effective to maintain. Furthermore, the compressors used in workplaces are required to comply with the Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) regulations. Thus, the rising end-user demand for enhanced air quality and reliability is projected to stimulate the growth of the market.

Oil is used in the compression stage of oil-lubricated air compressors for lubrication, sealing, and cooling. The lubricating oil can be carried over into the compressed air system during operation. A detailed understanding of compressed air quality and testing standards is thus required to meet the purity levels required by various applications, thereby driving market expansion over the forecast period.

The below 15kW power rating segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.0% over the forecast period. Error detection and service warnings are included in the modern monitoring for this 15 kW compressor. This can be attributed to the market for rotary and centrifugal compressors' low-power products. It is projected that the widespread use of these goods across a range of end-use sectors will accelerate segment growth. Additionally, it is anticipated that government initiatives to promote energy conservation and growing consumer awareness will fuel demand during the projected period.

Application Insights

The manufacturing application led the market and accounted for 24.0% of the global revenue share in 2022. The manufacturing sector makes substantial use of portable oil-free air compressors. For instance, oil-free air can be used as a direct power source in a variety of facilities to create machinery and equipment. These aforementioned factors will drive market demand over the forecast period.

Where entrained oil carry-over is not acceptable, such as in the production of semiconductors and home appliances, oil-free air compressors are used. These compressors are lighter in weight, and more reasonably priced than their oil-lubricated counterparts, thus increasing demand from the aforementioned industries.

The oil & gas application segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.0% over the forecast period. In oil & gas industries, air compressors are used for different operations such as petroleum refining, petrochemical synthesis, pipeline transportation, gas injection, and so on. Oil-free air compressors are becoming popular since they have a lower need for maintenance, use relatively less energy, have a lower environmental impact, and are less likely to cause product contamination. These aforementioned factors are anticipated to drive market growth over the forecast period.

Clean air is essentially used in the healthcare industry for pill manufacturing, as well as in culture vessels, aeration tanks, and packaging. Furthermore, medical air compressors are used as the main components in medical air systems for transforming power into potential energy in pressurized air.

Moreover, the use of compressed air is extended for artificial respiration, surgical instrument, and other medical systems. These aforementioned factors will propel the demand for oil-free air compressors in the coming years. For instance, ELGi provides oil-free air compressors to transport medical gas for anesthetic conditions.
