Compressor Control System Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Component (SCADA, PLC, Switches, Motors, Transmitters, Valves, Others), By End-User (Energy And Power, Oil And Gas, Refining, Chemical, Mining, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027

The global compressor control system market is set to expand at a CAGR of 4.11% to reach US$6,348.438 million by 2027, increasing from US$4,784.943 million in 2020. Compressor control systems have a wide range of applications in power generation, chemical, mining, and refining industries. The major factors propelling the growth of the compressor control systems market can be attributed to the improvement in product quality specifications for critical industrial processes and large-scale applications across different industries. Moreover, compressors operating at a very high compression rate and rapidly changing flow rates and pressures require specialized control techniques that enable them to maintain process stability.  The main impediments are high initial costs, frequent maintenance of compressor control systems, and a volatile oil and gas industry, which could stymie investments and limit the market growth.

Investment in the oil and gas industry is expected to drive the growth of the market.

By application, the oil and gas industry is expected to hold a significant market share in 2018 and is anticipated to grow steadily in the coming years. Factors like rapid industrialization and urbanization are driving the demand for oil and gas while propelling the industry’s growth, which is indicated by the fact that the fuel consumption of the global economy has increased steadily since 2014.

In fact, the consumption of primary energy increased from 11,705.1 million tons of oil equivalent in 2008 to 13,864.9 million tons of oil equivalent in 2018 (source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2019). Moreover, increasing the adoption of compressor control systems in this industry for various core activities will boost the segment’s growth over the forecast period. Simultaneously, efforts are being made by the manufacturers to improve the technology of the compressor systems that deliver optimal performance while consuming relatively lower energy. For instance, Atlas Copco launched a new version of its XAVS 238 and XATS 288 portable compressors with a 27% smaller footprint. The new versions feature pressure adjusted through cognitive electronics (PACE) pressure control systems that have the capability of extending the spectrum of a single compressor from 7 up to 14 bar.

However, small-scale research and expenditure on development, along with stringent environmental specifications are projected to obstruct growth in the market. Additionally, volatility in the prices of oil and natural gas is also projected to constrain the compressor control system market in the forecast period.

Asia Pacific to provide high growth opportunities.

Geographically, the North American region accounted for a significant market share of the global compressor control systems market in 2020. The government of the United States is significantly increasing investment to boost its status as an oil exporter. Specifically, the government is focusing on improving the infrastructure that will allow the transportation of oil from the United States to the world market. Similarly, factors like expanding mining activities, mounting concern over water consumption, and initiatives being taken toward wastewater management are some of the factors significantly contributing to market growth. However, the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at a fast rate on account of rapid industrialization, which in turn, will boost the demand for these systems across various industries over the next five years. Moreover, the Chinses government has taken an initiative to increase the 2019 capital investment in oil exploration by 20%, with the primary goal to increase the production of oil by 50%, up to more than two million barrels a day over the next five years. In fact, China’s Sinopec Corporation is expected to set up a US$5.7 billion refining and petrochemical complex in the south of the country by the end of the second quarter of 2020. Similarly, the government of India is planning to more than treble the area under exploration to 700,000 sq. km in five years from 200,000 sq. km to revamp and stimulate the country’s declining oil output.

Key Developments

Development in the market like product launches, partnerships, and collaborations are expected to propel growth for the market in the forecast period.

• July 2022: Avenceon Limited announced its partnership with CCC (Compressor Control Corporation), in order to upgrade a fertilizer company, Total Train Solution, by improving their overall plant efficiency.

COVID-19 Impact on the Compressor Control System Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the compressor control system market due to the strict lockdowns that followed, along with the stringent social distancing norms in order to contain the spread of the virus. The economic slowdown, temporary shutdown of the businesses and production facilities, and declining consumer confidence deeply impacted the demand for these compressor control systems. The supply chain got disrupted during the initial stages of the coronavirus outbreak, along with delays in logistics activities. However, the compressor control system market is projected to slowly regain its growing pace during the post-pandemic period due to the ease in the restrictions and resume of industry functioning.
