competing battery technology will also pose to be a challenge in foreseeable future. The market
ecosystem consists of OEMs (air starter, air tank, piping, compression medium), distributors and
suppliers, end user industries, and the aftermarket services. As the air starter market caters to
various industries including aviation, oil & gas, marine, and mining; it is a horizontal market
consisting of various upstream and downstream industry verticals.
Air starters can be for vane motors or turbine motors. Vane air starters work on the principle of
positive displacement, while turbine air starters consist of a radial inward flow or axial flow turbine.
The compressed air for air starters can be provided by bleed air from a running engine, auxiliary
power unit (APU), or a portable gas generator. When a limited volume of starting air is required for
a short crank cycle, vane starters are used. On the other hand, when large amount of starting air is
available for a longer crank cycle, turbine starters are used. Air starters in general have larger
operational life compared to electric starters. They have higher reliability, lighter weight, and are
easier to build. Due to their simple and modular design, turbine air starters are preferred for large
turbofan engines used in aircrafts.

The air starter market is segmented on the basis of end user industry, type, and the geographical
region. The segments based on end user industry are aviation, oil & gas, marine, and mining. The
types of air starters are vane air starters and turbine air starters. The geographical regions for this
market are North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa.
Oil & gas industry currently holds the largest market share; with North America on the forefront.
This can be attributed to the prolific use of air starters in mining and offshore oil & gas industries
hue to their explosion proof operation and compact design. This trend is expected to continue in
foreseeable future. On the other hand, the burgeoning demand for air starters for commercial and
military aircrafts will result in the aviation industry having a stronghold on the market over the
forecast period. Turbine starters have the highest demand and are deemed to dominate the market
over the forecast period also; particularly in Europe and North America. Currently, North America
has a chunk of the air starter market.
