The expansion of the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors is expected to drive the growth of the compressed air treatment equipment market going forward. The healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors encompass businesses that deliver healthcare services, manufacture medical products, provide medical insurance, or produce drugs and medications. Compressed air treatment equipment is utilized in these sectors to support patient care by supplying clean, dry air and ensuring comfort and safety. Most healthcare facilities rely on purified compressed air, which removes contaminants and enhances product safety. For example, in June 2025, the American Heart Association (AHA), a US-based nonprofit organization, reported that national healthcare spending increased by 8.2% in 2024, following a 7.5% rise in 2023. Therefore, the expansion of the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors is driving the growth of the compressed air treatment equipment market.

Companies in the compressed air treatment equipment market are also focusing on developing innovative products like fixed-speed industrial air compressors to gain a competitive advantage. These compressors operate at a constant speed, delivering a steady flow of compressed air, which is ideal for applications that demand reliable performance while also providing efficiency and reduced energy costs compared to older models. For instance, in March 2024, Atlas Copco, a Sweden-based manufacturing company, launched its next-generation GA and GA+ fixed-speed industrial air compressors, specifically the GA 55+-75+ models. These compressors are designed for intelligent performance, energy savings, and reliability. They feature a new compression element, an IE4-efficiency motor, oversized coolers, and a hybrid bearing that extends the lifespan of the drivetrain by 33%. The Elektronikon Nano Touch controller, equipped with SMARTLINK, allows for remote monitoring and system optimization. Additionally, the compressors include a smart temperature control system that adjusts the oil injection temperature for maximum efficiency based on real-time conditions. Designed for versatile applications, these units deliver more air at lower energy costs while offering long service intervals of up to 8,000 hours.

In January 2023, Ingersoll Rand, a prominent US-based equipment company specializing in flow creation and industrial products, executed a strategic move to fortify its market position and broaden capabilities.
