The oil-lubricated air compressor market serves various end users, including automotive, textile, oil and gas, food, and beverage among others. These industries rely on oil-lubricated air compressors for powering pneumatic tools, maintaining production efficiency, and ensuring reliable operations. Bolstering growth in major end-users has become a prominent driver propelling the expansion of the oil-lubricated air compressor industry.

Oil-Lubricated Air Compressor Market Drivers:

  • The booming food and beverage sector bolsters the oil-lubricated air compressor market.

Oil-lubricated air compressors have become indispensable in the food and beverage industry, meeting the soaring demand for smooth and continuous production. These compressors power pneumatic tools and equipment, facilitating crucial operations such as mixing, blending, filling, packaging, and labelling. The increasing demand for processed food products has propelled the need for oil-lubricated air compressors. According to the April 2022 report issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, in 2021, the sales of processed fruit and vegetables in India experienced a remarkable growth of 51.43% in comparison to 2017.

  • The growing automotive sector drives the oil-lubricated compressor market expansion.

Oil-lubricated air compressors are crucial in automotive for manufacturing, powering pneumatic tools and systems for assembly line operations, and tasks such as painting, sanding, and tightening. They provide reliable and efficient performance, ensuring smooth functioning while preventing overheating and contributing to overall efficiency and productivity. Increasing consumer demand, coupled with technological advancements, is driving the growth of the automotive sector and fuelling the expansion of the oil-lubricated air compressor industry. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, in 2022, Argentina witnessed a notable increase of 24% in commercial vehicle production compared to the previous year, reaching a total of 536,893 units.

  • The rise in the textile sector drives oil-lubricated air compressor market growth.

Oil-lubricated air compressors are relied upon for their ability to deliver a consistent and reliable source of compressed air, essential for powering the various textile machinery and equipment involved in spinning, weaving, dyeing, and finishing. Growing demand for textile products globally, along with recent government initiatives, has bolstered the textile industry's growth. For instance, the government of India has given its approval for the establishment of Seven Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) parks in both greenfield and brownfield sites. The parks will be set up with a budget of Rs. 4,445 crores over seven years, extending until 2027-28.

Oil-Lubricated Air Compressor Market Geographical Outlook:

  • Asia-Pacific is anticipated to dominate the oil-lubricated air compressor market.

Asia Pacific is expected to constitute a significant market share as the region is experiencing rapid industrialization due to which there is an increasing demand for efficient compressed air systems in food processing, packaging, and automotive manufacturing. Thriving economies, such as China, India, and Southeast Asian countries, are witnessing substantial investments in infrastructure development. For instance, in June 2022, PepsiCo India announced plans to invest INR 186 crore in Uttar-Pradesh to expand its largest foods manufacturing plant.

Oil-Lubricated Air Compressor Market Restraints:

  • Shift toward alternative technologies restrains the oil-lubricated air compression market.

The growth of the oil-lubricated air compressor industry faces some restraints due to the emergence and increasing adoption of oil-lubricated air compressor which offer advantages such as reduced maintenance requirements, improved air quality, and elimination of oil contamination risks. These compressors find applications in industries that prioritize clean and oil-free compressed air, such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and food processing. As a result, the oil-lubricated air compressor market may experience competition and a certain degree of limitation due to the growing demand for oil-free alternatives.
