The industrial air compressor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $30.49 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to energy efficiency regulations, smart factory adoption, automation in production lines, demand for reliable air supply, maintenance cost reduction. Major trends in the forecast period include shift toward oil free compressors, demand for high efficiency systems, expansion of manufacturing facilities, growth of compressed air automation, focus on predictive maintenance.

The rising demand for energy-efficient air compressors is expected to drive the growth of the Industrial Air Compressor market. An industrial air compressor is a device that converts potential energy into compressed air. Energy-efficient air compressors offer advantages amid rising energy costs and increased access to energy-saving technologies in industrial sectors. These technologies improve energy efficiency by optimizing airflow, reducing power consumption through advanced control systems, and delivering consistent compressed air output with minimal energy loss. For example, in March 2023, the US Department of Energy (DOE) reported that many industrial compressed air systems could reduce energy use by 20% or more through optimization and efficiency improvements, such as better controls, leak repairs, and right-sizing. Therefore, the growing demand for energy-efficient air compressors is supporting the Industrial Air Compressor market.

Key companies in the industrial air compressor market are developing advanced technologies such as VSD (Variable Speed Drive), which enhances manufacturing efficiency by precisely controlling motor speeds and reducing energy consumption. VSD technology refers to a system that adjusts the speed and torque of electric motors by varying input frequency and voltage. For instance, in March 2023, Atlas Copco, a UK-based industrial company, launched its GA VSD oil-injected screw compressor range, including 5-18 kW models, to expand its energy-efficient and sustainable offerings. This next-generation VSD technology, available in 5-37 kW sizes, provides smart operation and up to 60% energy savings for smaller compressed air users, while maintaining benefits such as sustainability, smart performance, superior connectivity, compact design, and quiet operation.

In July 2024, Airmatic Compressor Systems, a US-based industrial systems and services company, acquired Cleveland Compressor Service (CCS) for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Airmatic aims to expand its national footprint by integrating CCS’s regional presence and expertise, enhancing service coverage, improving response times, and broadening its compressed air, nitrogen, and vacuum system offerings across the Midwest and Northeast. Cleveland Compressor Service (CCS) is a US-based provider of compressed air, vacuum, and maintenance services to industrial customers in Ohio.
