Positive displacement compressors to dominate the market during the forecast period
Positive displacement compressors are expected to hold a larger share of the market by product
type in the industrial air compressor market. Growing demand for high output pressure
compressors is likely to be the major driving factor. Reciprocating and rotary are the two types of
technologies available in positive displacement compressors. Rotary compressors have low
maintenance cost and are more efficient compared to reciprocating compressors but are only
available in the low to medium output pressure range. The market for rotary compressors is
expected to grow at the highest rate among other compressor technologies during the forecast
period due to their wide range of applications and high efficiency.
Oil & Gas industry to hold the largest share in the industrial air compressor market from
2016 to 2021
The oil & gas industry is the largest contributor to the industrial air compressor market, and also
acts as a key driver of the market. Though upstream investments have witnessed a sharp fall in
the last two years, large investments are planned to construct gas liquefaction trains in the U.S.
and Australia. Moreover, China and India are expanding their regasification facilities. New cross
border pipeline networks being planned for oil & gas transportation which would also drive the
compressor market. The industrial air compressor market is driven by the rapid industrialization
of emerging economies such as China, Saudi Arabia, India, South Africa, and other South Asian
