Segment Analysis
By Product Type
The market is segmented as filters, dryers, aftercoolers, and others. Dryers are the essential compressed air treatment equipment that improves compressed air quality. Owing to their widespread use to remove or reduce the amount of water in compressed air, compressed air dryers are expected to account for roughly 35 per cent of the compressed air treatment equipment market share during the forecast period.
By Application Type
The market is segmented as plant air/shop air, instrument air, process air, and breathing air. Process air is expected to garner around 4.5% CAGR during the forecast period, driven by the presence of moisture and other contaminants in the process air, which may result in disastrous consequences for the plants. Thus, it is binding to use compressed air treatment equipment in these processes, where the required dew point is very less. To achieve the optimum quality of process air, compressed air treatment equipment delivering air below -40C is recommended in many facilities, especially in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, thereby driving the growth of the segment.
By End-User Type
The market is segmented as chemical, paper, food & beverages, healthcare, automotive, industrial, steel, construction, aerospace, electronics, and others. Healthcare is estimated to be the leader over the forecast period. The market demand for the segment is fueled by the increasing use of compressed air treatment equipment in the medical compressed air sector. Medical air is a clean supply of compressed air used to deliver medical gas in hospitals and healthcare facilities that is free of contaminants and particulates.
By Region
Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the leading region in the market for compressed air treatment equipment during the forecast period. The shift in global production toward growing economies such as China, India, Indonesia, South Korea, and Southeast Asia will result in increased demand for compressed air treatment equipment in the future years. Furthermore, as compressed air is required in an extensive range of industrial applications, China's global leadership in automotive and general manufacturing is having a significant impact on the entire region’s market. North America and Europe are also expected to offer substantial growth opportunities during the forecast period.
